That article makes it sound like WoW is dying. It's FAR FAR from it. No other MMORPG even close close to it in playerbase. Not even free to play titles.

Runes of Magic should be pretty close right now


 

Yeah!

when will this game die, so ppl can have their life back...

Any MMO would be happy with 2 or 3 million paying customers. I used to really enjoy WOW, but they made a big causal change about 2.5 years ago and I didn't like it. Haven't picked it up since.

i see just see this franchise as a money sucking machine which don't help that people can get so addicted to it. It's not my thing and i'm glad it ain't because of that. I don't even understand why people like it so much, when i saw the game in a livestream, i though wtf is this shit?

Based on what?

maybe the number of active users?

On August 16, 2010, after the launch of chapter III, they announced that Runes of Magic had exceeded four million registered u

if that number continue to grow.... then maybe it is close to WoW numbers? but the profit is very wide... i think

Bsed on the fact that WoW is estimated to have a userbase of 6-7Mil right now while RoM had 4Mil users 2010 and been growing. Of course there is no certainity, but it definately is possible.

If anything, userbase must have decreased by now. You really think the userbase of an old F2P MMO doubled? Its highly unlikely.

BTW, WoW has 8.3m subscribers accoridng to this article.

@aiko
4million registered users doesn't exactly mean 4million active players. In reality, the number would be much lower.

it says more than 5 million active users.... yeah it is far from the 8.3 active WoW players.... but still the closest (i think) XD

Still waiting for WOW to die completely so I can have Warcraft 4.

Who am I kidding, that's not happening.

I am really wondering what will happen, when they turn off the swicht ?


some people are real addic no fun addic fun batshit addict heroin thingy.



There is no reason to flip a switch in the near future. If if the game dropped to a million subs it could still be a profitable mmo. The problem is blizzard gets you at every turn in that game. I'm surprised they haven't made a diablo or Starcraft mmo


No no I am pretty sure WoW have still long mile to go, My thinking was more on a way if 5 or maybe more years later, when they pull the plug. Imagine the reaction of those who still play after all these year.

 

will it be like same effect of institutionnalisation prisonner who come back in the word after 30 years ?

event with 500 000 sub the game will still profitable.

 

it was really only about the addict effet of it.

The game released 2004. People should be amazed that it's lived this long.

Here's to hoping the GW 2 expansions will make it into the natural successor.



I LOVE ICELAND!
