WoW Loses 1.1 Million Subscribers, Down to 9.1 Million

[pepe2c]

OMG and the annual pass is still not over, let me get some snacks for when that happen xD

[Mascotte]

No new content in over half a year with DS being a rather disappointing instance to begin with.
Expected 1.5 actually.

summer + d3 + boring ds = fail

[Locruid]

I agree. I have really logged in for the last 1-2 weeks. Just catching up on Movies and other games cause MOP is right around the corner. I havent cancelled my Sub, but not everyone is like me

Sides, I'm not gonna be worried about Wow for a long long time. DAOC is celebrating thier 10 yrs this month and they've had 3,000 subs for the last 3 yrs LOL.

[Nerraw]

Does anyone have a list of how the subscriber numbers went up/down near the end of Wrath?

Ouch, losing 11 million a month due to lack of content...I wonder how their management makes these kind of decisions.

[ripcurlksm]

It'll be way up in a month or two anyway, depending on when the pre expansion patch comes out.

From what I've read, there wont be any raid content in the pre-expansion patch. Just the talent system and battle for Theramore.

[Dasn]

oh boy, here we go

[Fool]

huehueheuheueuhueheuhe it's because of the summer, like every quarter.
this quarter (q2) includes April-June, it's spring not summer fanboys lolol.

Infracted.

[Suggs]

Damn. That was a hell of a lot more than I figured. I have a feeling it's going to be really bad when The AP wears off.

yep , 2 more months for me and thats the end of paying to play warcraft for me.

Bit of a bonus though, wont have to see anymore retarded posts from windowlickers screaming '10 mill 10 mill 10 mill subs' at least it will be a diff number to look at..

...oh and also wonder how long the defenders arrive in the masses giving it the swtor vs wow sub number bollocks.
Now time to sit back and watch all the reasons people like to give to back up the loss of subs.

[Jaylol]

I expected a pretty large loss but not this much, though I guess it's understandable.

[carnifex2005]

Weird that 0 were lost in Q1 but 1.1 million were lost in Q2. I'm not going back to the game but I can see MoP being a hit. Looks like a great expansion.

[Myzou]

That's... a lot larger than expected.

In 2 months, that number's going to skyrocket though, so people shouldn't worry.

[Essenji]

Oh wow! This was quite a surprise! But I guess I understand why. The reasons they listed were very valid, especially the one about not receiving new patches. WoW is dead atm (don't hate on my for saying this) and a lot of people are barely playing anymore. But we'll get them back for MoP, so I'm not too worried

[familiar]

There's nothing to do at the end of this expansion, so nothing unexpected

[Mascotte]

OMG and the annual pass is still not over, let me get some snacks for when that happen xD

Next quarter will include both the initial annual pass drop but also include MoP launch.
So the number is likely to still go up either way.

[Schmilblick]

MoP will change it for sure

[Arkamedis]

Just a couple more weeks until MoP, nothing to worry about tbh. Actually... If you people dont have STOCK in blizz, these numbers shouldnt matter lol.

[Tiev]

Lack of content, the content we got sucked (DS), and LFR made us get fed up with it quicker. 1 million subs deservingly lost imo, albeit they will likely be back in September.

Very much this.
