    Declining numbers is a game "dying" how long it takes is anyone's guess at this point.

    Are the other MMOs in a pretty good decline also? Some are yes, and those would be dying too.

    500k is huge, especially considering the 10 million number is hugely inflated. The 500k loss has to be in Europe/US, so a big deal.

    9.6 million subs after 8 years is insane, WoW isn't going F2P anytime soon

    Why do I have a feeling that Morhaime will say that the majority of the subscriber losses occurred "in the East"?

    When this number falls to like.. 100 thousand people feel free to call it news.

    How many people do you think play in the U.S. and Europe? 2+ million respectively? Losing 1/4 of your market in one of those places is not something that you can just ignore.
    He's not putting a positive spin on a huge loss. Are you kidding?

    400k-500k is barely anything.

    Remember when they lost over a million subscribers in ONE quarter?

    Every mmo is in decline. People quit and come back.. WoWs numbers are only bigger because they can be. If you only have 250k playing, losing 25k is around the same amount. You say WoW's golden age is over.. based upon what? At least it had a golden age.

    Also, i quit months ago so don't try throwing that fanboy crap at me.

    It's numbers have declined and rose before.

    If anyone thinks 9.6 million is "dead" they really need to take a look at the rest of the MMORPG market.

    And WoW is still 9.6 times bigger than it's closest competitor.

    Where's the news here?

    They gained about a million when they released MoP, so the numbers are still higher than before MoP.

    looking forward all the "wow is dying" posts. anyway, i actually expected a small drop, i thought maybe 1-200k. very surprised to see such a massive drop. i dont think its much to be concerned about, wow is what, nearly 10years old, it would have to be super amazing to retrain 12m subs at this age.

    Oh noes, the game is dead. Considering GW2, this is hardly surprising and yet it's an amazing number, after 8 years running, it's simply incredible.

    Yes but they always had a new high. Now they have peaked and just drop lower.

    I missed where anyone said anything about "dead"

    I still wonder how many of those 9.6 million are game cards in China with 10 minutes of playing time (subscription) still left on it, but hasn't been used in 3 years.
