Then there was layering, putting players into instances to reduce overflow, but here everyone was in one space. "The launch was different to the launch of Classic in 2019. "I think everyone knew what we were in for," Caszhar told me tonight. At launch, there were over 20 guilds formed and ready to go, each with hundreds of players as members. Caszhar, the player who started The Fresh Crusade, told me over Discord that they couldn't say exactly how many players joined the launch, but estimated it at 30 per cent of the Discord's member number - that would mean 3000 players descended upon Dragonfang all at the same time. The server in question, Dragonfang, immediately rose from being a low population realm to a medium population realm. The original idea was to offer a fresh levelling experience akin to what was on offer when World of Warcraft Classic - and indeed the original World of Warcraft it simulates - first launched.īut The Fresh Crusade ended up too popular for its own good. Last night, on 5th March, when the server that would be home to this massive re-roll event was announced, the Discord had over 10,000 members. When I reported on it last weekend, The Fresh Crusade was a community project whose Discord was 1300 players strong. In response, players came together en masse to "reboot" the vanilla experience on one of the least populated servers. In the absence of incoming fresh servers with the launch of Burning Crusade Classic, those who only now fancy playing the famous MMO as it was in 2004 face starting on realms filled with maximum level players and botting.
