First of all I want to say I dont play PVP that much so the actual change doesnt affect me that much, however, the side effects will affect me as a alliance player. Right now there are more hordes than alliance players, specially in pvp realms. currently there are only 2 decent alliance populated realms in english eu which is sad. While I do agree that choosing ur faction based on que time alone is silly never the less it is another incentive toward going for horde. people here are defending this and saying blizz should make moving to alliance more attractive, well this is the opposite of that

The problem is this change doesn't solve any problem, while causing problem for some people ( I don't know what percentage of player base but still a significant chunk will be negatively affected). The only incentive I can see for this move is to push people is blizz trying to get more money out of people. While you can sub for 1 month, many who do that may forget to or too lazy to cancel and end up paying more. Also many of the people don't have time to play full time and just buy a 1 time 1 month game time for each major patch to experience the content, which isn't a viable option for many.

I usually pug the normal difficulty of the new raids on the launch and clear hc later (im not a mythic raider). Also i want to say i had less time for CN, since we are doing naxx on classic too. having said that, i just managed to do 4/10 on the launch ! normal flet like a light hc and it was the first raid in a long time that its normal difficulty doesn't feel like a push over. i havent tried hc, but given it has lasted more than some mythics ( looking at u EN) i say yeah its up there too. I just wished the rewards woul match the difficulty too.

Wonder which version of the shadowland they are offering. most non-wow gamers wont be happy with paying a subscription for a game they supposedly gotten for free with their new graphic card.

they just need to make characters on 4 different realms

It's blizzard confirmed information, and laragon doesn't contradict it just says it will not remain so for long . again wow subs doubled when the only real thing that happened was classic. we cant know for sure and i don't think even blizzard can really differentiate it in a very precise manner since both share a subscription but yeah since the classic release at least i felt that bfa is more deserted than ever and classic is very active so this information is not surprising to me.

they got twice as many subscribes after classic compared to before. add that MANY retail players basically left bfa for classic, its simple math. you can argue that people have returned for 8.2 but i HIGHLY doubt that (cmon you have been in game).

this just means that classic has more players than retail !

Alot of new mechanics here. rogue legendary can destroy copies of minions even in your deck (looking at you shirvala), we got the warlock legendary that increases hand size and neutral cards that steal weapon and swap hero powers permanently i think !!! crazy stuff !! and generally power level of cards are pretty high too.

you sure this isn't the cloth one ?

another way you can interpret this data is that these classes have more difficulty leveling so they go look for a guide. warrior is one of the worst classes in leveling. while mage isn't bad at leveling, if you are not familiar with vanilla mage you can die a lot. on contrast druid and hunters leveling is a no-brainer. priest at last rank seems odd tho ! except that, this ranking could be very well how hard it is to level the class.

fact of the matter is, it is not 2005! most of the quality of life features in today wow has been an community made addon at some point. blizzard can draw some lines to limit some of them (like this one), but you gonna have access to way more tools/info than you did back in 2005.

there was an ongoing about 10000 person que on mirage raceway(low) about 15 min after name reservation started so i'm guessing you need multiply those numbers heavily :) but i'm not sure everyone will play and even more stay there to at least to experience classic content.

can we get the statistics on which realm is horde/alliance majority. because there is no cross realm stuff in classic, being in minority will really hurt you.

so far i have tried quest shaman, druid and priest (gonna try mage next). shaman is fun and good for now. priest quest is op but your deck needs some sort of aoe removal otherwise it will outright lose to most decks. druid deck looks good but i havent had any success with it. so far i generally like the new quests :)
