Superdata, a company analyzing gamer spending activity and compiling monthly reports on it, has published its report for August, estimating that World of Warcraft subscriptions are up by 223% compared to the previous month, but didn't manage to beat the numbers at Battle for Azeroth's launch. This put WoW in third place for total worldwide digital earnings in August, with Dungeon Fighter Online and League of Legends ahead of it.
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. In addition, if you are in need of

The success of World of Warcraft Classic has caught those out of the WoW loop off guard. Why is a game that's reverted to a simpler, and arguably more frustrating, mode more successful? Part of it stems from the simplicity and nostalgia fans have for the original build of the game. There wasn't a Raid Finder to help you locate allies or even quest markers to show you where to go. Everything was up to the player to uncover. This made the game feel less like a virtual slog and more like an achievement simulator. There's very little fast travel and ways to skip content, so grinding is the only way.
Regardless of how you feel about World Of Warcraft Classic, there’s little denying fans were clamoring for this one to happen and showed their support when the time came. Even with the backed-up servers and long wait times to join. It will be interesting to see how the service holds up in September and if there’s any dropoff from people just checking it out and then bailing. In any case, Blizzard should be happy with the support and outturn for the game.
