Losing almost 1 million subs in 3 months is not nonthing when you had a total of 7 million. Sure the game is still making alot money but it takes subs to make that money.


Doesn't mean shit in that case.

We cleared Siege of Orgrimmar HC before 2014 started.And we were pretty casual already.Im pretty sure Method cleared it in October 2013 or so.
Probably now every casual has cleared it at least once in any mode (LFR,Flex,Normal,HC)

There is literally NO content for almost 1 YEAR
And Siege of Orgrimmar was already easy so it didn't really last.
Was there even a patch in all those months after that?I stoped playing after the first kill so i don't know.

Nearly 1 full year without NEW CONTENT and the subs go down?   O M G   DOOOOOOOOOOOM

Think a little bit.
People playing the Beta of WoD are pleased.
Today they announced some LFR Molten Core 40 Man raid to get a pet and a Southshore vs tarrens mill Battleground for WoD.
And in general WoD looks thousand times better than MoP.Its closer to BC again.
Expect a lot of people coming back but until then Subs will go down cause why pay for NOTHING IN ALMOST 1 YEAR?

This happens btw at every end of the expansion.
And yeah subs went down in general but that is cause the last few expansions went into the wrong direction and the content gaps were far to long.
But there isn't a single MMORPG even coming close to WoW on the Market and will never be.
Stop wishing deep within that WoW might die - Its the best MMORPG out there even in its current state.

How did you read that and get that the person is wishing for WoW to die?

 

This has nonthing to do with how good WoW is. This is showing that the game is in decline and no expansion is going to make the game grow again. Sure people are going to come back for a month or 2 and check out the new content but the game is 11 years old and its simply running its course just like every mmo has done since the genre started. WoW is old and people are simply moving on to other games .  There will always be the faithful that stay and never leave their mmo. You talking to a mmo player that has played just about every major mmo including WoW and at least 100 of the free to play asian types. WoW has years of life left but any real mmo player knows what this means because they have seen it many times before.



Around the Network

Just for the thought, For me too, I've never known that this game is still operating, I don't know if our region got banned or what, but as I remember it was broadcasted to stop
