The folks at PlayOn have asked a valid question regarding the state of Azeroth, post-expansion. They're wondering about the effects of the expansion on PvP, and while it may seem obvious to some of you, they have actual numbers to back it up.
Testing their hypothesis across 5 servers, PlayOn found that the numbers have dropped rapidly on the old BGs as a result of the expansion. This information does lead to additional information though, as they point out in their analysis:
Now, it's intuitive that post-60 content is more appealing to many players than the same old BGs. What may be less obvious is the added pressure for those level 60 players to get the expansion pack. Level 60 players who were content to just PvP now have to endure much much longer wait times to get into BGs. In other words, level 60 life without the expansion pack became difficult.
They also note that, because of the expansion, most of those who are probably still in the old battlegrounds are probably the ones who still don't have an expansion, and those who are playing the expansion are probably levelling up first. Moral of the story: Blizzard probably wants you to get the expansion so you can be cool.
How about you? Expansion owner or not? How's your game going?
