Good! I hope this is a sign to Blizzard they have to stop taking their customers for granted and release good, quality content at a reasonable rate.

Diablo didn't have much to do with this since people that play Diablo and WoW at the same time got the annual pass, since they get Diablo for free while still being subbed to WoW. Numbers decline cause WoW is just old and mists doesn't bring anything new to the table.. it's the same game it has been for a long long time

Another 7-8 million people to be lost before they have to watch out for other MMOs

This is actually a good thing.
After this, there is NO WAY they will repeat the no-new-content-for-6-months thing.
Mists will save it. It's a great expansion.

Hahahahahahahaha
Sorry, had to get that out.
No wonder really, months and months of no new content, the thought of DS just makes me cut my wrists, combined with the previous useless patches (Zul remake), There is just nothing left to do. Hasn't been for a long time...

wow... I always said they'll have a drop, but such a huge one was unexpected.
Also next quarter is the june-july-august, so will also be a drop as people just took a break before MoP. Only the fourth quarter will have a raise.

I'd say that is, in fact, unexpected and what the Annual Pass was supposed to prevent. Imagine what it'd be without the AP.

Presently dead, and dead for good are different. It's okay to say that for the moment. Still, over a million leaving... Whoa, that's scaring. I wasn't expecting that. Althought from my raiding group of almost 20 only 3 still logging in. The others left due to disagreements, and quit after not finding another group to fit in. Originally Posted by Essenji

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

As a WoW lover, I'm not exactly surprised.
DS has been out 8 months, everyone and their dog has killed Deathwing so of course people will quit for that. D3 has no doubt taken a few subs away too.
Lets see how Q3 goes, MoP is released but there's no more Annual Pass. My prediction is 10.5 million total.

meh still Number 1 in mmo market.
let the haters commence in utterly pointless flaming/discussion. (I agree tho that the content was lackluster in cata, so far they have learned much from their mistakes from what i've experienced in beta)
Mists of Pandaria is going to be a very special experience which I don't want to miss.
gg.

I wonder how the numbers are fairing with Diablo 3? WoW is 7 years old now and had its greatest moments and shortcomings in a long period, while Diablo 3 seemed to rushed through that process in barely 3 months... Blizzard should be concerned, fo sho.

A lot of people I know (including myself) aren't even going to buy MoP. They're just cuttin their 1 month loss and getting out. I realize this isn't everyone though. Originally Posted by Mystile
