I logged in my Retail Account to check server status. (I didn't know it but Retail is now FtP until level 20 for everyone, this is how I managed to log in).
Following pics were taken on 30 August, 2016, on EU servers. There were exactly 83 almost empty servers, 20 servers half-full (and half-empty), and just 7 full servers.
This is a sad fucking state of affairs. Even though I dislike Retail WoW and think that New Blizzard has obliterated original WoW and turned it into "Kung Fu Pandas, P0kem0n and My Little Pony", I was really sad to see the servers at this capacity on LAUNCH DAY.
I can imagine J. Allen Brack's face as we speak. Normally I'd laugh at this, but as a fan of Warcraft this is fucking sad.
Chilton will be wearing that trademark "I-TOLD-U-SO N00BS" smirk. There will be a lot of people at Blizzard with their hands on their faces today.
We told you so Blizzard, yet in your infinite wisdom, thou chooseth to hear us not.
