>>506765347I'm not denying that Fresh will not last as long, I'm just saying that the raiding population, which is what this guy is talking about, is yet to peak.
The 'overall' population, which isn't really measurable peaked on day 1. Same in 2019.
Most people in 2019 didn't get to 60, 2019 had a bunch of ex-wow players returning, normies trying the game out for the first time and retail tourists.
Normies haven't heard about new fresh because it wasn't marketed, and they've already done it.
Retail tourists already did the tours, back in 2019.
The only people playing are turbo 'niller autists as well as TBC waiting room players.
I promise you this current Fresh is Blizz just buying themselves 2-3 years to develop a Classic+ from the ground up.
I agree that base Vanilla is not something that's going to be super popular anymore, it will remain a niche.
