While I am not a “WoW is dying” person, I do doubt that millions are playing. I just don’t see any indicators that WoW is that popular nor that Blizzard feels confident about how things are going in any of their IPs.

Perhaps one day I will, but not now: I don’t get why it matters how many people are playing. Most of us don’t deintively know how many people share our own opinions, but we still hold them all the same.

It is an interesting discussion - for the most part - so I suppose that has some merit.

There you go with those pesky facts again Aehi. What have I told you about that? :wink:

…that you love it when I do that? :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Um… yeah… that was it!

Dont confuse the fanboys with facts. It triggers them into insanity.

We all know the sub numbers are at record lows and so does blizz stockholders. That my friend is why there have been changes made by the board. Now if only the lawyer is removed and we can get a real lead gamer in charge.

Sers, you have an archive that backs me up totally.

Fair enough.
Links to YOUR ‘proof’, if any, that what you say is so.

If you say so.

A decimal point and a comma aren’t the same thing. You listed all of your numbers as fractions… I’m assuming this is why you were flagged, at least that’s why I flagged.

Prove it; that’s what this thread is all about, despite all the hissy fits going on( yes yes I’m just as big a contributor as the rest of us here!).

So what you are saying then is that people are still playing and that we are not a dead game?

Whew! What a relief!

We don’t know any such thing. We have suppositions and guesses based on nothing more than anecdotal evidence and limited personal experience.

And the shareholders don’t care. They’re only concern is how much money ATVI is making for them. You could make a case for that being the reason for the CFO’s departure, rather than Netflix offering him a job, but even that would be little more than speculation.

Sorry bro. I have allied races unlocked, an active account and I don’t have (and probably never will have) a dark iron dwarf. I haven’t liked them since Vanilla BRD.

Because Blizz no longer reports subscriber numbers, all you can do is visit a site like wowrealmpop and search based on numbers of level 100, 110, 120 characters and look at the trends between xpacs.

You can’t even speculate on subscriber numbers based on 120 characters because many active players may have several 120’s or NONE on an account.

No one here is saying that subscribers haven’t dropped over the years. EVERYONE is saying your “methodology” is…flawed.

There’s an awful lot of suppositions being made here.

That counting two allied races will give us an accurate picture of active subscriptions. Why those two allied races and not two others? How do we know that players will automatically make an allied race at all? How do we know that counting character numbers gives subscription numbers? Do we know the percentage of players that make alternate characters?

The numbers we have from the past expansion box sales were equal or slightly less than the expansion box sales for BfA. Yet, those expansions saw subscriptions start off in the millions. Why would BfA be any statistically different than the data we have from the past eight years?
