    Active Original Vanilla Accounts?

    So with the WoW Classic coming, I was just curious as to how many original Vanilla accounts are still active?

    Is it a lot, or have a lot of those accounts gone inactive in the last 14 years?

    1. All accounts on battle nets have been upgraded to Legion
    2. Any unmerged account to a bnet will need to be merged before being able to login to the game.

    I've kept my sub going since Jan 2005, with only two unsubs for 2-3 months. I stopped playing vanilla for 7 months (still subbed because my first five years were a gift) after I leveled my shaman and rogue, then came back and joined a raiding guild then leveled a gnome warrior.

    Edit:

    Edit 2:

    I forgot that I unsubbed in WoD for nearly a year too.

    Oh, sorry guess I wasn't clear in what I was asking.

    I was trying to ask how many accounts made back in Vanilla are still active players in BFA.

    Which I guess brings to mind a follow-up question, did you take any breaks from wow in the intervening time or were you continuously subbed?

    i am still here, the number of 'original' accounts is likely to be a very very small number in today's game.

    I started in early 2005, but I've unsubbed at least half a dozen times in the intervening years. I'm already burnt out on BfA but remain subbed.

    Started my account during open beta (two weeks before the Nov 23rd, 2004 release), still playing. I’ve taken several breaks over the years, the longest for about 8 months. I always come back before or during the next expansion’s pre-patch.

    I'm sadly on my 4th account. I'm toxic D:
    Prot Warrior 2004-2008. Hunter 2008-2018.
    Retired boomer.

    Created my account in April 2005, about two months after EU release after a few mates from school recommended it. Currently playing BFA, but barely hanging in there at the moment, I'm rapidly approaching the stage where I take a lengthy break/quit. As such I decided not to take on the 6 months subscription & free mount offer. I think I'll stick it out and check 8.1 before I make a verdict.

    As far as earlier breaks go I've only had one, a very long one, from early 2011 to September 2016. I thought Cataclysm was really, really poor, and I didn't really check back at all during Mists or Warlords. I think I tried a trial for Mists at some stage but found pandas to be hilariously stupid and decided not to re-sub. Was recommended Legion by multiple people with quotes/taunts such as "best expansion since Wrath", and I really enjoyed the expansion. Sure a few things could have been done differently, but overall it was a very solid experience.

    Not going to play Classic however as I conquered it all during 2005-2006. No reason to revisit it and potentially ruin good memories (the game is comparatively trash compared to live).

    Been un-subbed for a few weeks now.
