With the new classic servers being launched this week (hopefully), what will happen with the population of existing servers? How many players will play classic?
Prydwen and Excalibur have a combined total of about 2,100 peak players. If the estimates from US servers are similar to what will happen to EU servers, between half and a third of players from each server will go to classic. Although the amount of players has been slowly increasing on the majority of normal US servers, it has never returned to pre-classic numbers. I'd say we'll end up with between 1,200 and 1,300 players left, which would reduce the clusters population to that of the Excalibur server on its own at the moment.
French servers peak up to about 5,000 in total (estimated). A total of about 7,000 players on the French and English servers combined. If my estimates are right then there might be between 2,000 and 2,500 players going classic, although its possible French players could try Salisbury instead of Glastonbury.
What will happen? We'll have to wait and see!
