I believe that many players have begun to pay attention to the number of active players in the World of Warcraft WLK nostalgic server in recent times. After looking at the latest data, I found it a bit miserable. It may not even reach 10% of the peak period. According to the latest 48-hour active player number announced by the Bigfoot plug-in, the current number of active players is only 740,000 characters, and the number of online players is even smaller. So what is the reason for the rapid decline in the number of active players?

If you have been following the data released by the Bigfoot plugin, you will find that the number of active players in all character factions of World of Warcraft China Server released yesterday was 1 million, but today it is only 740,000. Compared with the data of more than 5 million when the World of Warcraft WLK nostalgic server was just launched, the number of active characters of players has dropped by 80%, leaving only 20% of the peak period or even lower. So many players have a question, why is this?

The first core reason is actually the problem of statistical time. The statistical period of the data released today is weekdays, so it is actually normal for the number of players to decrease on weekdays. The number of active players counted during the weekend will increase after all. We will analyze the specific number of people working on the weekend at that time, but no matter what, the current number of active players has indeed dropped a lot compared to when the World of Warcraft WLK Classic server just started.

According to the data from the Bigfoot plugin, the last 48 hours of the soft launch of World of Warcraft WLK Classic Server, the number of active characters has reached 2 million, which is 1 or even 3 times higher than today's 740,000 and yesterday's 1 million. The number of active characters today is relatively small partly because of the weekend, and partly because World of Warcraft WLK Classic Server is losing players. Normally, the number of players will continue to lose for a long time.

So when will the number of active players drop sharply in the short term? Because the 14 days of free game time given away by World of Warcraft at the launch of the server need to be claimed by players themselves before it can take effect, and most players claim the free time as soon as possible, so the farmers and workers speculate that the number of players who will leave will reach a peak around 14 days after the server is launched. At this time, the players who stay and buy monthly cards are most likely real World of Warcraft players, not those who play the game for free and then leave.

Judging from the latest data, Jaina has returned to the top, but the number of active characters is currently less than 50,000. The most serious decline is actually in the Ruby Sanctum. At the peak, the number of active characters in the Ruby Sanctum directly surpassed Jaina and became the server with the most active characters. However, as the number of people increased, the result was an increase in waiting time and a decrease in user experience, which caused many players to quickly switch to other servers.

Currently, the servers that are ranked higher are almost all one-sided. For the time being, I have not found any servers with a large number of people but are not one-sided. Once these servers become one-sided, it will inevitably affect the PVP gameplay in the game. However, with the development of World of Warcraft and the iteration of players, the number of players who like PVP has actually decreased a lot. Therefore, it seems that whether it is a one-sided server or not is not that important at this time. It is still unknown whether the official World of Warcraft will spend time to make the one-sided servers balanced in the future.

Many people say that Jaina is the Anzu of the official server, because the game is full of full-needs players and some players may even agree in advance to share equipment, but when the equipment is released, they will directly place an order for the demand, and three or four people will form a team waiting for the big enemy to join. However, farmers and workers have discovered that it is not just Jaina. In fact, many servers have such full-needs players. Therefore, you can choose a server based on the number of active players without referring to other factors.
