So, due to life issues I missed out on the classic launch. I never played the game originally either. So for me, I’m playing the game for the first time ever. I figured, with the launch of Burning Crusade there should be enough of a population and renewed interest for the experience to be decent. But the game is completely dead even from day 1.
Between people who already leveled their character years ago, people buying the official boost, and people buying third party boosts illegally, my experience has more or less been single player. I ran into one or two other players to quest with, and that’s it. These zones are completely empty on a “full” server. And from what I hear people are already growing bored with the expansion endgame, after only a day or two. This is a disaster, plain and simple.
most people leveled in prepatch or started even earlier than that.
I’d say the vast majority of players would be on there main characters now or bought a boost. It would be a very small percentile leveling fresh now. 2 weeks ago the zones were rammed.
Well they didn’t announce the launch as being two weeks ago they announced it as being June 1st. And how should I know what races or factions are popular? And why should I know? If only the most popular places are populated that still means it’s dead.
Anyway
i started leveling at the start of the prepatch. It was quite buisy people playing in every zone.
Everyone who is interested is playing right now.
There where 10 layers on our server alone. Population is booming and the expansion is a huge hit
There probably wont be alot of leveling going on, atleast on the lower ranks, for a while untill people start getting alts.
You kinda missed the boat
The only reason nelfs are not that populair now is simple. Draenei are ‘’ new’’ so everyone is doing that :-).
Enjoy your questline, its a long one, its alot better then regulair classic, it takes ALOT of work and dedication.
But i am going to be verry honestt with you here.
If you are more interested in TBC then ‘’ just classic’ and a blueboii isnt your think. Buy the boost. save yourself a month of leveling
Most have leveled way before BC launched or bought the boost before it came out so they were ready,what exactly did you expect?People to play old content when new one is out?
Also how are people bored of endgame when 99% are still leveling
They didn’t announce the launch as being two weeks ago they announced it as being June 1st. Besides how dead does it have to be if content only lasts two weeks?
Pre-Launch was earlier so you could leel up to 60 before the portal opened.
Most people boosted/Cloned their characters so they dont have to level them.
Layers, many many layers. Someone said that my server had 17 layers just to take one example.
