    I think you're missing his point?

    First - "1st"
    Second - "2nd"
    Third - "3rd"
    Fourth - "4th"
    Fifth - "5th"
    etc.

    You're talking about being educated yet you ranked 4"rd" in your class... You also talk about "educated" people not needing to provide references for common knowledge.

    Forgive me, but you did not place "4rd" in your class. You placed 4th (fourth).

    If anything is common knowledge, that certainly is.

    Well I came 3th in my class and Classic has 40 billion active players, trouncing Retail's 39 billion. I don't need a source because it is common knowledge.

    Superdata reports a 223% subscription increase (over tripling) August as opposed to July. I don't think its a leap in logic to attribute most of that to Classic. Unless you think retail only had ~100k active players or less, which is completely mad, Classic clearly had more than 250k-300k at launch.

    Now, i still question Classic's staying power, especially since we're probably down at least half the active players from launch, probably more. But it is completely mad to estimate classic only had 250k active players at launch. Ditto with estimating retail currently has 250k active players. There are more than 50 servers, not sure how there were only ~5k per server when the majority had queues and some of the queues were over 10000 deep.

    I'd estimate somewhere between 1-2.5m, with maybe 400-750k still actively playing (logging in weekly) Classic. Which is a very wide range, yes, but it's hard to make an accurate estimate with the data we have.

    I can do it for him.

    "I think Classic started at 250k because that's unimpressive. By now, over half the players have fallen off, because reasons and things. This trend will continue to Christmas because Santa Claus isn't real. So...

    250 / >2 = About 100k
    100k / 2 or 4 = 50k or 25k

    Calculations done!"

    That guy you referenced? This @munkeyinorbit His sarcasm went like TOTALLY over your heads, right? RIIIIGGGHHTTT???
    That's what I meant. 2.5 million = 250K. Will be down to around 500 thousand = 50K by Christmas.

    I have it at 40,000,000+ based purely on trying to convince retail players that classic is best. Unless you can prove i am wrong, i am right and thats a FACT.

    You know that you contradict yourself. Saying it's common knowledge while boasting about being 4th best (lol) in your class, doesn't make any sense. Because if it was so easy, there would be no need for that statement.

    Also, how is the knowledge of avg. AH post per person "common knowledge".

    Lastly, you just had to add being 4th best, right?

    Quite clearly says he was "4rd" best. If you dont know what "4rd" stands for in that context, you shouldn't comment, and are probably some public school pleb.

    How do you know my education? Maybe, just maybe I from a different country, and one could've interpreted the 'rd' as a mistake.

    But yes I am a public school pleb, all up to my doctorate in EE, i never had to pay money for education, since i don't live in a shithole, where education is not free.

    You are forgiven.

    Uneducated have the mistaken belief that commonly known knowledge needs to be sourced. This is incorrect. If it is commonly known, then why would a source be needed. I know it's difficult, but think about it for a minute. You will get it. An example of knowledge that would need to be sourced.

    This person has made a claim that contradicts what people believe. He needs to prove that what he is saying is real. No proof? Troll and should be reported as such.

    What I have claimed is that WoW had about 250K. This is common knowledge through this website that addons have confirmed this. People have tried to shout this down but provide no evidence. It is common knowledge. My own data, which is accurate as I came 4rd in my data analysis paper, supports this.

    You are welcome.

    Its right there, right there in your reply. Just one line below. You outlined it quite well, at least for someone from the public school system.

    Is this the same "source" that uses a youtubers video as their source?

    I can't remember the last time I bothered with the cesspool that is the Auction House... on classic or retail. And I know a lot of other people who never use it anymore, too.

    So yeah, awesome source for judging populations. Good call, man.

    You realize that 50 people is the cap DISPLAYED and not the cap of players able to be in a zone ?
    And that it only displays people from the same faction than the one checking ?

    Also there were, as I said, about 250k people in the EU queues during the first week. Probably the same in the US, which makes 500K together.
    With about 60+ realms nearly all at full capacity. So yeah, re-check your numbers.

    Some people with the use of census, tried to check at which point the queues appeared (and so the max capacity of a realm).
    They reached 15000, but I don't remember if it was before or after Blizzard increased the server size in the second week (I think it was after, though, but nothing definitive).

    Remember that the 1-2,5 M you give is a number of concurrent players (queues + realms at full capacity means it's how many people are playing at the same instant T) while "weekly" is about active players, which is MASSIVELY higher (count about triple).
    We're still in the range of 400-750 CONCURRENT players right now, so if speak of active players you can pump these numbers up a good deal.
