    Yes indeed. I remember going on discovery as a very low level and reaching Ratchet. Wondered where that boat went and hopped onboard. Suddenly the tropical Booty Bay in all its pirate splendor emerged. I went through the tunnel into Stranglethorn Vale and was killed right away by a high level Gorilla :) But one of many adventures to remember fondly... :)

    The only reason Blizzard isn't making wow 2 is money. As long as current players pay, things will remain the same. But here's Blizzard's big problem. How many new players do they manage to pull in? In a world with so much history and lore, why would a new player even stick? They won't understand the story. Nothing will make sense and Blizzard doesn't bother explaining anything. They just release a new mount to make up the money from 10 cash cows that pay as much as 1000 new players would on a sub. For how long will Blizzard be able to milk the ppl that still play? Time will tell. Me personally, I was way too late to the party, and even when I spent hundred of hours watching lore videos to "get it", I wouldn't play on Blizzard because I will never have the chance to be equal with other people. So many mounts, achievements, items, events and many more things that I missed and will never be able to get or experience. How can I ever compare myself that started playing in 2024 with someone in the game since 2015 or so? No chance. So why even bother players when I'll always be inferior. I'm just waiting for them to do something new where every1 starts from 0.

    WOW has had a decline since WOTLK, most of the money the game makes comes from microtransactions rather then subscriptions. Most of the people who are playing the game now are old diehard fans, WOW is failing to attract a new audience. It is true the game is evolving and has evolved a lot since 2004, but it still feels like an old game and the old content hasn't been updated (2:10 this model is 12 years old) giving a sense of inconsistency. The most shocking thing for me is the success of vanilla servers both official and unofficial. There's a nostalgia for the old formula no expansion, after WOTLK, managed to deliver and old (and new) fans are still craving for! The fact people is willing to move from a pirate server to another, from the current WOW to Classic means people is willing to recreate a new avatar and move forward to new adventures. For sure WOW 2 is an enormous endeavour and I don't think current Blizzard is capable of such things anymore. Just look at what is doing right now: HOTS is a closed project, Overwatch 2 is regressing into Overwatch 1, Diablo IV hasn't been the success it should have been and Path of Exile 2 is coming to deliver the death blow, Star Craft is an abbandoned franchise, Warcraft 3 reforged has been a froud... I think they had a chance with Classsic WOW. They could have made a graphic lifting, they could have remade classes from scratch, even create new classes and specks, they could have tried new interfaces and quality of life changes... If they had done that, they could have trained a new studio to work on this project, they could have gathered data on what new and old audiences like about Vanilla WOW, all in preparation to eventually make WOW 2, but they didn't do anything of that. They used this card to make a quick buck, milk some money and forget about it. I guess they'll milk WOW till they can and they'll let it sink soon after.

    It's because Blizzard is cheap and they know their customers are cheap. Unreal Engine 5 has some incredible potential, yet a "WoW 2" would likely require too many people to update their PC's, and Blizzard is running strong on those N64 graphics still...

  • @jackmehoff6052
    @jackmehoff6052 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The real reason is : Blizzard is a PEAK performance when they stole ideas from other MMO (always has been), but since 2008+ they are under constant pressure from share-holders, They couldn't handle a simple Classic server like Season of Discovery, they just keep on recycling an old game from 2004 again and again (SoM, Classic Anniversary), don't get me wrong i love World of Warcraft and everything it stood for, but now its just a soulless cash-grab made by employees that don't believed themselves in the project. Its just sad, they where KINGS.

    Same reason why Star Citizen will never be released. Game already has a decent amount of "whales" to milk, regardless of what new monetization will be added on top of already existing one. So it is not profitable for Blizz at all. That is why you dont see many new players in WoW. Cuz this game is not for them. Potential new players (with no bias against or for the game or nostalgia factor) sees WoW as an F2P & hghly P2W game that is highly overhyped, overpriced & very outdated (visually, technically & gameplay wise). Other games (and other mmorpgs) do offer way better value. If you did not grew up with old Warcraft RTS games or WoW - there is really nothing here for you. That is why WoW is kinda stagnating & will most likely never change itself & its business model.

      I think you understand it wrong, theoretically you are right but the idea of wow 2 can be understood in different theories. Either a completely new game which has little to do with the predecessor and this is WoW 2, or a revised version of the current game (graphics, engine and more) this would be a 2.0.
