The sweaties got to 70 already and cleared their raids. Heroics are still a lot of work in blues, so they’ll probably wait until they have more epics before farming those. Have things slowed down a bit? Sure. Are they dying? Absolutely not.

This is a redundant thread because:

You answered it yourself within the first three sentences. Saying that you’re aware it’s early in the morning doesn’t necessarily stop it from being the definitive answer to this question. I’m not really sure what answer you want from this if not that, unless you’re just trying to fearmonger about TBC failing.

Of course TBC is losing players. TBC will never hit the player count it had when the servers originally went live, because many people likely logged in just to check it out without any intention of sticking around. This is on par for any online game.
We really need to drop the mindset that a game absolutely needs to have 100% player retainment in order to be successful.

Concider, once folks make lvl 70 they stop leveling and can work on progression ect.
I’m sure that cuts back in the time played
I thought this was tin foil hat talk at first, but I talked to a guy who talked to a girl…definitely possible.
Either way, not having Fresh servers at launch because they could hip pocket them to stretch subs once sweaties bursted through portal with unlimited everything, was an even worse decision. Somebody thought cloning mechanic would make up for it in profits. Not smart.
I think they didn’t want to chance streamers going fresh pve, creating another Faerlina layer drama situation (could still happen).
If whitemane starts being empty its a pretty bad sign.

It’s actually not tinfoil hat but well know common knowlege. Then Ashes delayed their release to troll Blizz 
So the players got screwed with a rushed TBC and short prepatch. Further driving players away from the game. 
Also with the content drought in SL since they can’t get 9.1 out currently the longest wait for a patch in history. They desperately needed to boost this quarters earnings.
Lets also look at another fact, the people that got 6 month subs for SL well their sub ran out right at TBC launch. Since it is now been 7 months of drought waiting on 9.1. Blizz wanted to get 9.1 out before the 6 month buyers sub runs out…(makes sense right) but they couldn’t. Otherwise they all unsub since they are waiting for content.
TBC to the rescue as this rushed launch will perhaps hold over 6 month sub people to keep renewing their sub (instead of trying out Ashes of Creation) which is why boost were offered to get these retail players into TBC to hold them over till 9.1 since they are struggling hard.
This is the worst Blizz has ever been and their reign of MMO supremacy is actually gone.

it’s the layering thing, it isn’t just phasing you, it also breaks /who sometimes as well, and i’m not convinced you can see the general chat of people in other layers.

I know of at least two very hardcore players (i.e. 70 within a few days) who quit due to honor issue.
TBC does have huge retention issues, as once the initial grind is over there isn’t that much content to keep people busy

Who has a better MMO then?
Well this can be perfectly explained in a great video No King Rules Forever. The fact is Blizz is just so out of touch with their playerbase they practically handed over the throne to current competition. Then with new MMOs on the horizon and how just absolutely a dumpsterfire WoW is right now.
It’s by far the worst it’s ever been. SL will be the demise of WoW and only TBC is keeping Blizz afloat.

Yes I literally just linked it.
If you think now is anywhere close to the last 16 years you are 100% factually wrong. Activision is the only gaming company to suffer huge losses during Covid in it’s user base at 30%. WoW players are down over 50%.
Final fantasy has more active players then WoW by a lot since they are doing what Old Blizzard did. The CEO of Final Fantasy made their Devs play Old WoW expansions to fully understand what the competition did right and wrong.
Sorry but WoW isn’t King anymore and they key point is it’s only going to get much worse from here. That is why TBC was rushed… Blizz is in panic mode and they can’t stop the hemorrhaging. Sad…but very true.
Honestly look forward to playing New world, Ashes and basically anything else will be better then SL or any future WoW expansion with the way Blizz is. Real shame.
I bet WotLK Classic will come out before the next Retail expansion. You know why? They got nothing…That is why Blizzcon was cancelled nothing to announce. Again SL longest content drought in history… with no planned 9.1 release date. Sad.

I don’t watch videos made by some guy who looks like I haven’t been eating my bran.
I asked who has a better MMO. Nothing else matters.

If you don’t want information that is on you. Bellular provides some incredible takes on what is happening at Blizz and it’s direction behind the scenes. So you are missing out on great information to better understand the current state of WoW and how it has fallen.
I think the details matter and illustrated above the MMO title is literally right there. Then I explained why so you can learn. Are you reading…or trolling? Not wasting my time on you if you are going to be a bad student. Good luck the info is there for you in the video and in my post.
The video goes into greater detail on some important situations which is why I linked it.

So, the answer to my question is “there are no MMOs better than WoW.”
I didn’t need to watch some garbage video for that.

I love the fact Blizz broke the ignore function on the forums.
I guess you want to pretend WoW isn’t the best MMO available right now.
