It is. They have everything already developed. They just need to deploy a server or two. Make a few configuration changes. It costs them nothing more.
Please don’t assume such things. I’m a software engineer and I happen to deploy servers in production all the time.
No you alt spammer. You destroy forums, if you got rights to spam nonsense i had too.
You see almost 3 KT kill every week ENTIRE WORLD.
Era was for crybabies like you and long dead.
Go and jump in empty orgrimmar.
I have worked in Customer service, and in a supermarket. The customer’s rigth even when he claims that frozen chicken arte to be found whith paper and stationery!
I - and more people than me - would be happy to be able to pay for only Classic.
He said “Not much more” and he is rigth as far as those tech savvy people I have consulted says. You do not need many subs to pay for a Classic Era or a TBCC Era servers. Those I asked gave estimates varying from 50 to 120 unique players per server.
I wouldn’t want to work in that place. It would go out of business as they would want to buy that chicken for a Euro and as they are always right you would have to sell it to them at that price.
I think that is an over estimate, I have been on one at the busy time recently on a raid day and counted 27, and not all were 60. I’m sorry but it’s nowhere near the levels some people think it is, they are very optimistic.
It is not that simple, big companies need big money to sustain their business, they wont bother with few thousands of dollars from sub to sustain small version of the game.
It is also bad for their reputation as big developer to host small server with not enuogh players.
They just operate with big numbers in mind.
Sure there is decrease in number of players, summer is in full swing, people go out to the beach, players are waiting for wotlk. Nothing strange about it.
If we players are bound to Blizzard with some kind of lifelong contract we cant terminate, I would agree with you.
Since we are not, our only right is to vote with our wallet.
Who decide what is “Not enough players” If you ask the players of Era and RP servers they do not agree that they are not enough!
Not good for their reputation this is? Much worse is making many small players unhappy with not letting them play on small servers as they like.
Blizzard obviously.
The players on those realms are severely biased.
Just looking at the SoM players on ironforge.pro are very low worldwide, the majority of realms don’t even have one person scanning them. 4 out of 14 have numbers only, that’s 29%.
Some brain cells decide “not enough players”.

Last KT kill july 2, previous june 27…
Entire world!
Please dont say “uuuuu we dont take logs at era servers…”
The only REAL data we have.
Not empty words.
Sorry, that link doesn’t work for me, try using </> preformatted text then you don’t need to add or change any characters.
And according to IF the numbers for SoM are just falling and falling. But I spoke of Era and RP servers, and their numbers have been staedy with rising tendencies.
Plus I do not like the idea of leaving everythin up to Blizz without protesting, loudly.
This is just crying loudly.
Special snowflake syndrome.
I’m sorry but this is precisely what I’m going to say. We play at the Era servers, I play at least 2 hours a day but I dont log, and as far as I know none from my guild bothers either. The only reliable data is log in do a /who and count.
Blizz of course have the data. But I do not like them to decide if we think we’re enough.
Classic ERA servers failed before on the most iconic content created by Blizz.
As much as I loved TBC, it was and is my favourite expansion ever, and the only thing better than vanilla, I don’t feel I need an ERA server for it.
It was great, but it has been enough. Let’s get out at the correct pace before degrading the experience by getting bored with it.
I wish you to have fun again in 15 years from now though.
TBC also my favourite expansion, but an ERA server would be dead. What exactly could I do? Run my dailies every day for some gold and then log off? That’s the problem with ERA, even 1 server would have too few players and as soon as Blizzard commits to it people would complain they want 1 PVE and 1 PVP and an RP and before you know it you have 3 server clusters each with 40 active players each.
If it was just 1 server, maybe just maybe it could have some value but I suspect even that would barely be able to keep a single raiding guild, no BG’s, no Arena…
I don’t know why people don’t understand this about “ERA”, it already failed once and TBC is less popular than 60 Classic.
The question to pose is not:
but
Ergo:
not need make 1 big sever warmane whit classic tbc and wart 1 choice wich area want play ez fix no
All I would personally need to be happy would be 1 PvE and 1 PvP server for each Classic Era (Vanilla, TBC and WotLK). And they could go from there, seeing what kind of demand would exist for RP, RPPvP and foreign language servers.
