Yes. I do. If Classic iPhone keeps it's popularity (I'm pretty sure it's bringing in new players everyday) a chunk of these will come to PC Graal. The biggest issue is incentive and the lifetime classic deal is pretty good.
Again, though, the problem comes down to Gold servers. If there was an attractive Gold server then you can bet a portion of these new PC Classic players will play that server too. Those who like it will continue to upgrade Gold. Just like in 2003/2004. Those who don't will continue playing Classic servers, which are currently running Graal. I guess people don't really think of it like that anymore and it really is sad.  |
I agree, a lot of it has to do with the content being offered... I just don't think throwing around lifetime subscriptions is going to help anything in the future.
