'World of Warcraft' Subscriptions Soar 223 Percent After
'Classic' Release
World of Warcraft Classic tripled subscriptions in
August, according to new research from SuperData. The
original release of World of Warcraft from 2005 brought
old players and new ones back into the realm of Azeroth,
with subscriptions growing an estimated 223 percent from
July to August. The amount of players is still lower than
what they were during last August's Battle for Azeroth
expansion, but retail WoW updates tend to pull in lots of
players in general.To get more news about

The success of World of Warcraft Classic has caught those
out of the WoW loop off guard. Why is a game that's
reverted to a simpler, and arguably more frustrating,
mode more successful? Part of it stems from the
simplicity and nostalgia fans have for the original build
of the game. There wasn't a Raid Finder to help you
locate allies or even quest markers to show you where to
go. Everything was up to the player to uncover. This made
the game feel less like a virtual slog and more like an
achievement simulator. There's very little fast travel
and ways to skip content, so grinding is the only way.
Despite its current popularity, the game's developers at
Blizzard were apprehensive about the concept of WoW
Classic. In an infamous Blizzcon 2013 panel, a fan asked
if legacy servers would ever be added to the game. J.
Allen Brack, the production director for World of
Warcraft at the time, responded "you don't want to do
that. You think you do, but you don't." He then listed
the bugs and problems early versions of World of Warcraft
had as a reason they would never make a legacy servers.
Six years later, and WoW Classic servers are completely
full, with players waiting in hour-long queues to get
into the game.
World of Warcraft Classic will roll out updates to the
game at a slow pace, giving hardcore grinders enough time
to finish raids like Blackrock Depths before adding
challenges. A lot of content fans have been clamoring for
is still not added, like gaining rewards for killing
enemy players. Still, with Classic's first month into the
wild going so strong, the sky's the limit with regard to
what might come next. We are already getting a completely
remastered Warcraft 3 in the coming months, and there's
no telling what other projects Blizzard could be working
on behind the scenes.
