Blizzard Opens Even More WoW: Classic Servers After Warning Of Overcrowding - MMORPG.com
Earlier MMORPG reported that Blizzard opened a new server to combat overcrowding on the Herod server in World of Warcraft: Classic. Blizzard has since opened even more servers in anticipation of its launch.
Comments
this, they should just increase server capacity, and since it is 2019, it should be automated if they use something like AWS, and since everyone pays a sub, they have 0 excuses for not paying for better servers
I give them about 4 months till all these people realize these aren't time lock servers an they have done all there is to do an have all the best gear they can ever get.
These ARE time lock servers, and they have already rolled out the plan showing the next 4 phases that will be added to the Classic servers over time btw.
Mess with the best, Die like the rest
This isn't a signature, you just think it is.

They have increased server capacity substantially. If you read into it a bit, the highest population of the old servers is only Medium on the new classic servers. They also can't really just increase server capacity past a certain point because the game can only have so many people before it becomes a miserable experience for everyone.
Apart from all the posters on here who have played it and want to play it again you mean?
ppl want Wpvp so badly since retail has no real wpvp since flying mounts
But once the dust settles , ppl will start crying again , ganked for 2h , cant quest , farm ...or anything...had to logout , there were camping the graveyard even!!!
nerf rogues! 2 rogues ganking every1 in stv , tyrs hand or w/e....
we just wanted to do UBRS and took 30 min traveling , 30 min trying to enter because getting killed again and again , tank only had 40 min left so he droped the group
i played on a vanilla pvp server and it was fun at first , then no so much , raiding time a 22:00 , start the for raid 30 min before and start entering because there is like 50 players from the other faction waiting the raid to start killing everything in sight ... MC cave was usually a unbalanced battleground.
world buffs? GL with that
The over exaggeration is strong with this post.
I think you will be in for a surprised and it will go on for far longer than you think. It will be they're main game that suffers over time.
On top of that I really think it will be the likes of ESO and other mmo's that will feel the bite once word gets out how fun it is, especially if you never played original Wow.
Don't worry we know you'll be playing it, you won't be able to resist.
You really think that players today won't conform to the old way of playing Wow? I think you are giving to much credit to how hard it actually was.
Don't kid yourself Activision Blizzard are doing this to make money. Period.
They are not "bothered" whether its played by old, players or even new players; just the bottomline.
And based on their previous 100M accounts comment an average of 10M players a year left WoW from launch. Which suggests to me that at their core players then were a lot like players today. The difference is that - unlike then - WoW today has to compete with many more games plus things like on demand TV, Twitch etc.
Yeah. I don't get the random comments on people who probably haven't played the game(since they are 15 now) and say that everyone they know(guess their age) haven't played classic either...
It's a fact that private servers have existed for years. It's a fact that private servers have been doing well and that's considering that 1. they are garbage for the most part(filled with bugs/exploiters etc...) and 2. most people don't want to play on private servers. From the original 37 hardcore WoW friends I have only 2 play BfA and in the most casual way, but everyone has said that they are going to be playing classic. And yeah most of them might be casuals since their lifes won't allow to be more serious about the game, BUT they are going to play for as long as the servers exist.
So classic will do just fine... People saying that it will die out in 2 months when the vast majority of players that have limited time to play will probably take more than a month to hit 60 alone is just laughable.
Once PvP goes live it will get even more lively since that's one of the things people want to play the most. The good ol' PvP. Not balanced in anyway, BUT FUN!
