The pre-release version of World of Warcraft's official server "War to the Core" was officially launched on August 1. Countless long-awaited players flocked to their own servers to meet the long-lost characters again.

After more than a day, the player population statistics of the official server have basically stabilized. Today, Xiao O will bring you the player population data of the national server according to Big Foot Statistics, and the comparison between the official server and the nostalgic server!

Comparison of player demographics between official and classic servers released

Since the population data of the official server is still in internal testing, we cannot query it in real time, so we can only make comparisons based on the statistics of the official account "Big Foot BIGFOOT".

The current data is the number of characters in the 24-hour period from 19:00 on the evening of August 1 to 19:00 on the evening of August 2. It is counted through the "Number of People Encountered" of the Bigfoot plug-in. It does not require players to use the Bigfoot plug-in to count, and is relatively realistic. However, according to Bigfoot, the current number is "far less than the actual number."

1. Official server population statistics

Now let's get to the point. According to the 24-hour active data of the official server player population, the Horde population is 1.405 million, the Alliance population is 829,000, and the total population is 2.234 million. Among them, the Horde population accounts for 62.9%, and the Alliance population accounts for 37.1%, with the Horde-Alliance ratio exceeding 3:2.


The server with the most people is Anzu, followed by Deathwing. For more server and population data, please see the 4th push today.

2. Demographics of Classic Servers

The population statistics of the nostalgic server are already 24-hour active characters. The first data is the situation at 8 o'clock last night. The population of the tribe is close to 2 million, the population of the alliance is close to 1.25 million, and the total population is close to 3.25 million.

Because Thursday is the beginning of a new CD, coupled with the opening of the 15% buff in Ulduar, the population has rebounded, which is also normal.


In addition, let's take a look at the 24-hour active data counted at 19:00 on the evening of August 2. The population of the tribe is 1.59 million, the population of the alliance is 995,000, and the total population is about 2.59 million. Among them, Jaina ranks first with a population of 100,000, and the Ruby Temple ranks second with a population of 95,000.


Nostalgic server players are currently in the lead, and the official server is expected to have a bright future

Judging from the current statistics, the number of players of the national server nostalgic server has a certain advantage, but the gap is not particularly large. It is not like what some people previously believed that the population of the national server nostalgic server crushes the population of the official server.

In addition, players currently have high expectations for version 11.0 "War to the Core". If the quality can be maintained in the future, I believe it will continue to attract players to the official server to play.


Whether it is the official server or the nostalgic server, Xiao O hopes that both games will have very good future development, because we together constitute the ecosystem of World of Warcraft, and many players play both together.

I met Holly and Ion in Shanghai a few days ago. Little O raised a question at the end. We don’t need to worry about the official server because Blizzard is now investing a lot of energy in it. There is no pressure on future planning and development.

The nostalgic server is not like the official server, there is no way to keep moving forward, so I hope Blizzard can continue to seriously consider the future of the nostalgic server, so that the nostalgic server can continue, and the players of the nostalgic server (mainly domestic players) will not suddenly have nothing to play.
