Got a source on that 20-30% or you just pulling numbers out of the air? I'm sure they lost subs, probably a fair few, but I highly doubt it would be that many.

Just a guess based on the number of reddit posts confirming sub cancellation or account deletion. I don't think there is any way to track this outside of an announcement by Blizzard (which in itself would be suspect).

A shame Blizzard/Activision shot themselves in the foot and lost a good 20-30% of their subs over that Hong Hong fiasco. I doubt their recent non-apology is convincing any of those to come back.

Haven't we already done something similar to "horrific visions" already?

Withered training and Deaths of Chromie come to mind. Ion tried comparing it to the Mage tower but from the description of the visions, I consider that an apples to oranges comparison.

I've been planning on re-subbing for the 15th anniversary events; not sure if I'll stay subbed until 8.3, resub on 8.3's launch or just let it pass. The more I've been away from the game the less I miss it.

I haven't run island adventures in forever, and have only really followed the story with my horde DH. My druid needs to play a bit of catch-up in the quest line to bring him up to current too.

In the end, it's something new to do, so I'll take it.

I've been playing a little bit of classic, moreso just to check out old cities like Stormwind and Orgrimmar to see how they looked so long ago. I'm not really interested in pushing on it though.

I don't know if I like the Horrific Visions....
