I hate to break it to you, but that figure isn’t subscriptions, its MAUs. Monthly Active Users, and it covers all of Blizzard’s games - WoW is only part of that, ie:
"World of Warcraft reached expanded year over year for the sixth consecutive quarter, contributing to overall Blizzard MAUs of 29 million in Q4. "
Also, retail and classic share an account - you don’t sub to them separately. So if you have a retail account, you automatically can play Classic. They aren’t calculated separately.
I thought each token bought in the store was listed below the current lowest in the auction house. If no one bought them wouldn’t the price go down, like basic supply and demand?
its an a good data to look at maybe look at total dungeon runs unique as a guild and raids atleast 3/10 normal ( i would say heroic but eh lets be generous)
States in it in the slides on blizzard it’s MAU for wow and on yahoo financial. I literally copy and pasted it from them.
Even yahoo breaks it down by game of each Blizz titles. You know what it does not matter.
Look I copy this
“World of Warcraft” also saw big gains in the quarter, with Activision Blizzard reporting the series had 29 million monthly active users. That makes six consecutive quarters of growth for the franchise. For the full year, “World of Warcraft” saw a 40% year-over-year increase in revenue across both its classic and modern versions.
The highest subscription count for WoW was 12 million active accounts. If WoW had 29 million accounts active Blizzard would have made major announcements about it.
The quote I provided to you is directly copied and pasted from Blizzard’s own Quarterly statement, not from some other source which can misreport. Here is there company report:
“World of Warcraft MAUsD grew year-over-year for the sixth consecutive quarter, contributing to overall Blizzard MAUsD of 29 million in the fourth quarter.”
Blizzard is not JUST WoW, it is other games as well. Don’t know if I can make it any clearer.
Yes, but I have a question: How many of those people are on trial accounts? And since (from what I understand) they don’t pay month subs in most of Asia but by the hour, how did they arrive at that number?
My little accountant brain (who does compliance audits) wants to know lol.
The person that wrote that article needs to be fired.

Directly from the Activision Blizzard Quarterly report.
