Just give nost guys a job at blizzard, blizzard give them the tools to do a legacy server IP is protected then.
Have 1 sub covering both current content and old content = $$$

Hear that a lot, sadly it's not that simple.

Giving people the option to gravitate towards a game that primarily focused on enjoyable gameplay would be harmful to their business model.

They can't do anything that jeopardizes their ability to sell $50 mounts to retards. Subscriptions are not that important when compared to microtransactions.

These realms were ran for FREE, how many of these 150,000 active players would actually pay a SUB for this??

Apparently 250k people would

I see the pros and cons of having one, honestly.

But I see more pros. If blizz likes money the way they make it seem, it would bring an incredible amount and would/could release sub numbers again proudly.

Let's be real. WoW is the most successful mmo ever. Besides runescape, which is listening to the community in fact letting them vote on what they wanna see in their legacy content, which is bigger I believe than the current game.

I played rs07 for a long time, and it did bring back that feeling I had about it when I was in like elementary/middle school.

Not trying to type a wall of text

Less than half of the people from Nost would pay Blizz (many of them were Asians who are not going to pay). The real untapped market legacy servers would be aimed at are the 6 million people who were subbed to WoW at its peak and are no longer. How many people of those could they get?

A good portion of them have gotten older and would not be able to play an MMO. But for every person who falls into that category, there is another person 8 years younger than them who will have grown into the place they left behind.

Conservative estimate, there's at least a 6million customer base that isn't being currently being targeted by any MMO. How many of those could Blizzard get back? Really hard to speculate on that. The rough number being tossed around that it would take in order to make the legacy server model profitable for Blizzard is 300k.

The big question I have is will they include legacy servers with the current wow sub? $15 for both current and legacy.

I firmly believe they would only see an increase in revenue if they release one, or two

I never heard these 250,000 people say they would pay a subscription. Because lets be honest, if blizzard would do legacy servers. These would be on a totally separate subscription from normal wow. AND you wouldn't be able to buy game time with tokens. Blizzard will not do something that won't net them a good profit; lets be honest here.
Everyone can keep saying they should, but blizzard won't care.

im neutral with game tokens. Golds easy to get these days, makes saving irl money Easier even if it is $15. So I could go either way.

I'm personally fine paying a separate subscription since I don't play retail now so I'd just pay for legacy.

Let's say they up the price then. Well, i miss being a kid. Maybe I get tired sometimes of always doing adult things and like to wind down somehow healthy of course sitting on your ass playing games is unhealthy but I hope you get my point.

The game had a reputation back in the day, idk if it still does, but they used this game in some rehab clinics.

I forgot where I read about it, but since the time it took to clear content and reach max level, they would use that as a way to turn drug addicts and other patients minds off the drugs etc by focusing completely on the game without the use of other drugs such as the drug to keep you off heroin. And it worked

So that could be a thing again, more revenue.

Yea it won't work on all, but maybe some. This game is addicting don't deny it.

Kern argued that including the legacy servers in with the normal subscription would net more profit than charging them separately. It would get more people also trying the main game and open them up to microtransactions.



Are you implying that the token system negatively impacts Blizzard's profit?

the kind of retards that spend $50 on a mount aren't the kind that play vanilla wow
this is the face of the people who helped ruin WoW. he admits he doesn't like hard work
and I respect a person who takes responsibility. but if u listen to his suggestions on fixing WoW
it seams like he hasn't learned anything from it all because his way of thinking is more of the same
