While other servers have different circumstances which may make any statistical data or personal interpretation appear relatively insignificant, compared to the previous 2 months on Classic there were far more genuinely new players participating within what once more became regular/semi regular events, plus a lot more getting into the Trading Card Game (as it's impossible to enjoy when entering observer mode every 10 - 15 minutes).

If it wasn't for their presence the upgraded players would have had no reason to stick around, but then there were also about half a dozen newer players who said they were contemplating upgrading, and several asked about whether it's possible to purchase event prizes with real money.

I'm curious as to what effect this has had elsewhere, I don't really see how it was a celebration of V6's release considering V6 doesn't offer many new features, and you can't even implement most of them until V5 is removed.
