f2p asap! :D
Shadowhack, you are actually mistaken, This Heart of the Swarm reference was correct, it is referring to their StarCraft II Heart of the Swarm game. So, the Tisk Tisk you wrote should have been self imposed on your mistake, not towards Blizz and their correct posted info.As for the decline in customers, the incessant multitude of dailies has turned a game into a job. The Mists expansion while leveling was great IMHO, enjoyed it thoroughly. Then once hit 90 before I knew it those darn never ending dailies.......
If they'd stop charging a fee for simple courtesy services like Server Transfers and Toon Renaming, they'd get back a lot of those subscriptions.You can't treat your customers like cash cows, they deserve the respect of being charged for service ONCE, not micro-credited for every little thing.
Oh, wahh. Down to 8.3m? That's ONLY £40m per month they're making. How will they possibly survive? Ugh. Seriously, I hate people acting like this is the RL equivalent of the goddamn Cataclysm.
lol...." only " 8.3 mill..... that's still a crap load
I Really missed The Burning Crusade WoTLK was also very good.I Think Blizzard has started to make bad expansions with Cataclysm and also Cataclysm was betterrr than Pandaria i've asked to all my friends and they just said ''I wont play WoW anymore'' and ppl cant get enough experience from WoW and look at those Pandas is it a 6+ years game? i think WoW was such a legend at until Cataclysm.
The decline of WoW has been clear in the past couple of years, but it has been slow overall. But the subscription loss has sped up to unbelievable levels which even Blizzard didn't expect. The quick death of WoW is imminent. I'll give it 2 more expansion packs before it is completely dead.
Still the best selling one. I tried GW2, I waited for that, but in the end it was a huge disappointment. Leveling was nice, but the end game or crafting system, to mention just the lesser things, was... so I stay with WoW. I tried almost every single mmo, but nothing like WoW. Maybe I'm a retard, but no quality like this. Ofc it is my opinion.MoP has many good things. I shed tears (yes, sorry I'm a woman) with quests, lolled, was angry with Garrosh too many times (I even stay just for kill him, I don't miss a time when he pops up in my journey to make a /rude). Found interesting places and npcs. I mind crossrealms a bit, because I have a hunter, therefore finding a rare was hard. But since I don't want to tame Arcturis (because reminds me of Arcturus Mengsk from SC and I hate him with all my hatred, almost sha level), so it wasn't that hard to find all the rares (apart from 2-3 mob) and the new MoP hunter challenges are more interesting than the rare camping. Crossrealm helps to go dungeons, raids, bgs more frequently. I approve that and I have less inconvenience with Crossrealms. I play WoW since vanilla, although my account doesn't show this, since I had a little break due to money issues. I see all the comments about how expensive is WoW. But my darlings, in USA or West Europe is FAR MORE cheaper than here, my place, Hungary. A 60 days gamecard is 35-40 dollar (but I've seen even 50 dollar). Not to mention how expensive is the game only. Maybe the differences look small, but the payments here are far away from US or West Europe level. Believe me, it is a luxury to play.We can't have the scroll of resurrection or friend invite system's goodies, because that isn't allowed according to Hungarian laws. That is called pyramid game/scheme. Even with a silly little thing, like games. I will not get a mount or anything if I use that options. Eastern Europeans suck so hard. But most of us try to stick with WoW. Because that is the best mmo in the market. 8.3 million is still a big number. But I'm still in that number.

The game has evolved since I've been playing, I have heard what wow was like in the "Vanilla days" compared to what it is now, I know when I started playing a few short years ago, your guild didn't level as fast and your guild rep gained was not 60000 a shot , the guild we got into was a level 3 guild, then the Panda expansion came, from that September to December I watched our guild of 6 people, at which only 2 of us played, go from level 3 to 25, I had never seen this happen prior to the last expansion. The older players even stated, they have nerfed so much and added and subtracted, they find it isn't as challenging as it once was, in fact I had a warrior that some said was OP, all she had on was questing gear she got from quest turn ins. I took her to 70, they did a few patches and my husbands clothy took agro and my warrior would be taking dirt naps. thus I tried to get better gear, to no avail, in the end she was deleted and remade into a Monk. I remember when warriors, paladins, and mages could and would walk the game, and with this next update coming, there maybe more leaving. http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/9135374 Blizzard should balance the classes and the leveling of guild and player instead of messing with gear and such. all I have to say, is when next update hits, good luck out there PVP'rs and PVE'rs .
I know, and the conversations that go on, I'm glad my kids are grown.
I'm one of those lost subscribers, I expected so much from pandaria, really looked forward to it, but what I got wasn't even close to my expectations. So I made the choice to quit playing WoW until next expansion, if that expansion sucks as much as pandaria, then I'm afraid it's gg for me, I mean if blizz cant make next expansion good, then there really is no future for me in wow anymore :PI love to play with 10 characters, I can spend 25 hours each week on wow, but I tried, my alts couldn't even get 5% of the stuff I wanted to get for them/do with them.And cba playing with only 1-2 chars.. boooooooooooring.And dungeons are boring and easy, I close my eyes when I play dungeons, and when I open them, I have solo'd every dungeon on heroic, that's how easy it is.Also everything is weird and complicated in pandaria, weird mobs here, weird mobs there.MOGU MOGU MOGU MOGU MOGU MOGU MOGU MOGU MOGU MOGU MOGU MOGU MOGU MOGU All that has anything to do with MOGU, looks THE SAME, and it's BORING.LFR random loot system is a joke, random loot, I already have 100x of the loot I get, why would I want more?Give me POINTS instead of somekind and let me choose my own loot, might aswell, since the system is broken and you know it.Anyway, fix the broken game, and I might consider coming back.
Easy fix.. make the next expansion like WotLK.
