How much impact does the official announcement of the World of Warcraft national server have on the Asian server, players who are in the Asian server should be able to feel it directly, while players who have not gone to the Asian server are not obvious to this feeling, let's take a look at the situation of several popular servers in the Asian server.
At the most exaggerated time of the Asian server, there was a grand situation of queuing in the whole region, and the queuing time was not inferior to the national server of the year, so Blizzard opened multiple servers in the Asian server in a row.
At present, there are a total of 8 servers in the Asian server, and judging from the census data of the small program, there are still a lot of people, and the first server "Wind Chaser" is not much different from the previous top servers in the national server.
It stands to reason that this kind of server should be prosperous, whether it is the main city or the dungeon, you can see a large number of players, but when players actually enter the game, they find that this is not the case.
This is an online number query of the Wind Chaser server, and you can see that there are only 38 full-level shamans and 37 full-level warlocks, and it is normal for paladins to have more people as a popular profession, but the number in the Icecrown Fortress is still very small, and most of the paladins are hanging up in the main city.
In addition to the number of people query, the speed of the world channel swiping on this server is also very slow, it used to be dozens of swipes per second, but now it only occurs once in a few seconds, and the studio is almost invisible.
In addition to the Wind Chaser, the second most popular Guremanger has also seen the same situation, with the number of players visible to the naked eye in the main city declining, and the frequency of screen swiping is getting slower and slower. You must know that this is still a non-working day, and you can imagine how many people will be on working days.
This is true for the first and second ranked servers, and even more exaggerated for the lower servers.
After the national server was closed, Fat Brother and his relatives and friends chose the Arashi Basin server, as the first server under the global server, and the popularity at that time was second only to Ivos.
At the earliest time, the gap between the proportion of the alliance and the tribe in the Arathi Basin was not large, and as time went by, the alliance players became fewer and fewer, and in desperation, the fat brother also turned into a tribe with his relatives and friends. Later, under the influence of locks, there were fewer and fewer players in the Arathi Basin, and the server from the positive second server swooped all the way to the penultimate one.
If you only look at the census of the applet, then there are still about 2W active characters in the Arashi Basin, but the fat brother entered the game twice in a row to query, and the result was that there were 25 people online on Friday and 30 people online on Saturday.
From the second-ranked server, to the active player 2W, to the fact that a group can't get together, it can be seen how great the impact of the official announcement of the national server on the Asian server is.
Of course, the reason for the plummeting number of WLK nostalgic servers is also very related to the version change, after all, the CTM version will be opened in May, but the fundamental reason is the impact of the national server. With fewer and fewer players, the studio is unprofitable, and naturally chooses to leave, and once you enter this cycle, there is no possibility of any reversal.
The fat brother took a look at a popular trading platform and found that the gold coins thrown out by the Asian server in the recent period were about 100 billion, and these gold coins could not be sold at all, and the price was falling every day. 100 billion gold coins were lost, and these studios estimated that they didn't expect it to come so quickly.
When the national server was just officially announced, there were studios that planned to fool players into continuing to stay in the Asian server, but it was only 10 days after the official announcement of the national server, and even the studio itself ran away, which once again proved that the national server is where the players belong.
