The way you phrased it here
really made it sound a bit more like you had some actual knowledge of server population, which I can’t see anywhere. In that case, it really seems like our sources say roughly the same thing. Subscriber counts increased significantly after Classic. I get that isn’t the only metric Blizzard uses for success anymore but… is that really an excuse for why we still have absolutely no idea what’s happening to the game after phase 6?
That’s my point
