Due to the release of World of Warcraft classics, World of Warcraft’s subscriptions increased by 223 percent

World of Warcraft Classic tripled subscriptions in August, according to new research from SuperData. The original release of World of Warcraft from 2005 brought old players and new ones back into the realm of Azeroth, with subscriptions growing an estimated 223 percent from July to August. The amount of players is still lower than what they were during last August's Battle for Azeroth expansion, but retail WoW updates tend to pull in lots of players in general.

Despite WoW Classic’s success, however, it hasn’t topped the all-time World of Warcraft charts – Superdata reports that total revenue in August was still lower than what Blizzard earned this time last year, with the release of current expansion Battle for Azeroth. Given some of the skepticism surrounding WoW Classic ahead of its launch, however, I imagine Blizzard is pretty pleased with those results.

Despite its current popularity, the game's developers at Blizzard were apprehensive about the concept of WoW Classic. In an infamous Blizzcon 2013 panel, a fan asked if legacy servers would ever be added to the game. J. Allen Brack, the production director for World of Warcraft at the time, responded "you don't want to do that. You think you do, but you don't." He then listed the bugs and problems early versions of World of Warcraft had as a reason they would never make a legacy servers. Six years later, and WoW Classic servers are completely full, with players waiting in hour-long queues to get into the game.

With WoW Classic’s new community apparently here to stay, it would seem that some of the community’s gripes regarding Battle for Azeroth have been forgotten. Now, it remains to be seen whether the game’s next major expansion will receive as warm as welcome.

World of Warcraft Classic will roll out updates to the game at a slow pace, giving hardcore grinders enough time to finish raids like Blackrock Depths before adding challenges. A lot of content fans have been clamoring for is still not added, like gaining rewards for killing enemy players. Still, with Classic's first month into the wild going so strong, the sky's the limit with regard to what might come next. We are already getting a completely remastered Warcraft 3 in the coming months, and there's no telling what other projects Blizzard could be working on behind the scenes.
