    Everyone asking where the haters at, they are here just harping on TOR.

    Haters will be haters no matter what.
    If I weren't insane: I couldn't be so brilliant!

    • 2 million people played the Diablo 3 beta.
    • 1.2 million people bought the Annual Pass.
    • Pre-orders for Diablo 3 have set a new record for Blizzard. This number includes units pre-ordered as part of the Annual Pass promotion, as well as retail and digital pre-orders.
    • Blizzard renewed their license with NetEase for the distribution of World of Warcraft in mainland China, and it will continue for an additional three years following the expiration of the current license agreement.

    For a 7 years old game I would say this is a very good new and I'm glad to know it.
    Business is everywhere in the world but a great strategy is not for all....isnt so simple, easy and fast to have the results, eheheh, you must be a Master in that....and very skilled.
    A great game like WoW and the capacity in many years to be a champion its the proof that Blizzard is a genius and they know how to handle it.
    So I'm happy to have my annual pass and to play their future games.
    Congratulations to them.

    Sorry for my english but I'm italian.

    I would like to see a comparison of WoW at how many months SWTOR has been out. That would be a real representation, but then you could argue that MMO's were not as popular then, or that they were just taking off. SWTOR also has to deal with the people that are already content with WoW and when they tried SWTOR, it just didn't give them that "wow" feeling again, no pun intended. Tough to be amazed by an MMO these days after playing one of them for the first time.

    Who cares about swtor? I'm just saying it's impossible to gauge how well WoW is doing based on official subscription numbers, since blizzard no longer breaks it down by region.

    That's all. A game being engaging and fun and perfect for long-time commitment ain't the same as it being addictive. I could stop playing this game today, the game I've been spending so much time in for so many years, and I'd not feel any withdrawal. Would I MISS it? Of course, I love the game and it's a source of enjoyment. That's not the same as addiction.

    I'm not at all sick and you don't have to feel sorry for me. And I'm very well educated on addictions (as I said, I've experienced it) and I still laugh at anyone claiming to be addicted to a video/PC game that they have to both pay for AND keep installed on a computer, especially when they at the same time state they do not enjoy the game.

    Doesn't have anything to do with anonymity either, just common sense and real life experience of the real deal, not people having a weird relationship to an optional game.

    as long as people keep talking about wow - good or bad doesnt matter here - its gonna keep going strong.

    Get a grip, its your opinion as a single individual, nothing more, nothing less!

    I guess WoW is dead, haters.

  14. #394
    I'm kind of sad. I was hoping for a subscriber loss. Why, you ask? Because there are still more trolls and haters in my game and I wish for them to go away. They be hatin, but they still payin.

    WoW was at something like 1.5 million after 5 months and still rapidly growing. It hit about 2.5 million in June, where it launched in China, and then it hit 5 million by December.

    highly doubt you are educated on addictions.

    Talk about haters.

    Which of the two games you mentioned has lost over a million active players since let's say, Dec 20?

    How quickly you seem to laugh and also forget all at the same time.

    Although the fanboism is pretty thick in here I will say that it seemed unfortunate that regardless of the quality of patch or whatever people want to use to blame the supposed decline of subscriptions that it is unfortunate that with the scroll of res boons that the numbers actually didn't go up at all. Would this represent then an unsuccessful promotion or just a method to maintain player base size?

    WoW is far from done, only proper idiots would call a game this big and enjoyable (subjective, again) done.

    I've tried other mmos (Rift, SWTOR, GW2)...none won me over enough to take WoW's place.

    Sorry, you'll just gotta accept that people speak with their wallets here. In the end most people play games they feel attracted to, if SWTOR, Rift and soon Tera and GW2 don't take the cake, then that means people simply aren't as attracted to them as to WoW.
