The death of WoW and why it’s a good thing

I think he probably assumed that you would understand he was not referring to p2w garbage released constantly.

Oh so you’re going to move the goal posts too. Gotcha.

“Clearly he didn’t mean these when he said this.”

This is true. But it doesn’t make the game not worth making. It just means it has a limited audience and players will have to pay a little more. Budweiser didn’t kill craft beer, it just dominated the market.

The fantasy that grounds games like WoW, ESO, etc didn’t start in the 2000’s. It’s been around for hundreds of years. In a world of rapidly expanding technology people made games based in fantasy hundreds of years old.

MMOs aren’t going anywhere. They likely won’t be as popular as the early 2000’s. But they aren’t going anywhere.

Are you doing your part to help speed it to death? Hit the unsubscribe button to take wow one step closer to death!

Would love to see a source on FF14 with 22 million subs considering they’ve never published sub count?

Is there a source for that or is it some feely-craft?

The game won’t die for a long time. Wait until they release bfa and shadowlands classic servers

Gonna need a citation on this.
We have no idea, one way or the other, what the size of the playerbase is.
For all we know, WoW could, in fact, be number 3 right now.
Not saying it IS, but it could be, we don’t know.

Should be right around the time they release Classic Classic and TBC Classic Classic, I figure…

WoWs not gonna die.
I mean at the moment the populations are ‘dead’ sure, but they would have reaped enough money from expansion launches & subs when they popped to keep the game afloat for quite a long while.

Unless the CEO makes the announcement / company themselves decide ‘One last reap!’ and thrash the playerbase with another dupe, rake in all the money - then pull the plug to slash additional costs; WoW is gonna be here for awhile.

Personally my hopes is that the feedback gets large enough in correlation to the subscription levels low enough - that Blizzard actually pay attention, wake up and start making some quality awesome content.

The best thing Blizzard can do for WoW is order Ion to stop his ridiculous War on Flying.

I honestly don’t care about flying so much – but I was pretty cheesed off about not being able to mount period in the Maw.

The Maw’s a very small zone that you can get across very quickly on foot. People are making a mountain out of a molehill on that.

(Also a lot of people apparently have never noticed Venari’s teleporter that sends you instantly to the Tremaculum or Beastwarrens…)

I don’t know what WoW you’ve been playing but WoW has always stolen systems from other MMOs. Now that no MMOs are around to steal ideas from it’s why it’s been stale for YEARS.

Blizzard just always took systems in MMOs and simplified em or made em better. They’ve really never innovated anything in WoW.

Wow is never going to die. MMO’s either die early or live forever.

Take 22 Million Adventurers as you will. I think it means 22 million active characters which at best to me puts it at about 10-11 million subs.

That could mean a lot of things.

I’m betting more on 22 million accounts total over its lifetime.

I mean, you could be right. I have nothing that says you’re wrong, only the source of the 22 million number.

ive never understood these threads, like if your not enjoying the game just dont play! i take breaks all the time sometimes entire patches from WoW… not because the game is “dieing” or “WoW should die” or “only 1 mill ppl actually play wow now”… sometimes just want / need to play different games! There’s alot of them out there! i for one play Valheim 90% my gaming time now, i love WoW, but atm the Hype and fun in valheim is REAL.

Just go play something else for a little while! or Long while! Fun is why we play games!

I stopped reading there…

Then I peaked at

Not happening.
