WoW Stable at 10+ Million Subscribers
Blizzard had their Q4 2014 earnings call today, announcing that WoW was still at 10+ million subscribers at the end of 2014. This is the same as the mid November announcement that listed WoW at 10+ million subscribers.

• Subscriber numbers are expected to decline, just like after the release of every other expansion. Asia is expected to have a larger decline, as subscriber numbers there are more fluid.
• Hearthstone has over 25 million registered players
• Heroes of the Storm has 9 million users registered for beta

Patch 6.0.3 Hotfixes - February 5

Raids, Dungeons, and Scenarios

• Blackrock Foundry
  
  • Resolved an issue where Slagshop Brutes may sometimes not reset correctly if the raid wipes while they're casting Death Howl.
  • Hans'gar & Franzok
    
    • Hans’gar and Franzok’s Crippling Suplex now deals 30% less damage (200,000 damage on Raid Finder, 450,000 damage on Normal, 600,000 damage on Heroic, and 700,000 damage on Mythic).
  • Blackhand
    
    • Blackhand's Impaling Throw damage dealt to Siegemakers should now properly scale up based on the number of players in the Raid.
    • Visuals for Marked for Death and Slag Eruptions should now be easier to see.
    • Players should now only receive a single debuff that refreshes when running through Blazes created by Siegemaker Mortar attacks.
    • Resolved an issue that could cause some Hunters or Warlocks to suffer fatal falling damage during the transition to Stage Three: Iron Crucible.

Battlegrounds and Arenas

• Faction flags should no longer appear for players in an Arena or Arena Skirmish match.

now they could fix eu realms so you can actually play their game

[DarkArchon]

This is the biggest sub rise spike since Vanilla...Was pretty much my prediction that WoD would bring a lot back and get above 10 million again. I think that number will get over 11 million before this expansion ends.

[Nerraw]

I had expected a slight dip. Impressive.

[Sarodan]

lovely such good pr team you guys have which zoo did you bought them from...how about fixing your god dam servers first...

[Terahertz]

Great, now if they could actually fix PvP and balance this game properly I'd say they actually deserved it.

[Ginkeltjes]

now they could fix eu realms so you can actually play their game

Nothing wrong with the EU Realms (Stormscale)..

[Grimalkin of Old]

Didn't see that coming.

[DarkArchon]

Guess i got here early...Here comes the ''bitchers'' The realms are fine.

[George Costanza]

no suprise. Looking forward to the next one.

[Jester Joe]

I can honestly say I did not see that coming either, I was expecting 8-9 million.

[McNeil]

It was to be expected that the subs would stabilise. At this point I can only see it going down though.

[Deleted]

Well, that's a downer.

[Xilurm]

I must say I am surprised.

[palaios]

Couldn't raid tonight on Silvermoon because instance servers are down, raids and garrisons.

Premade groups tab isn't loading either!

[Lundmark]

It will go down soon

[Dundebuns]

I wouldn't call a sudden surge to a value being 'Stable'. The next two quarters will decide if WoD can hold numbers.

[Tucci]

Epic! Love it.

[Zabatakis]

Huh I figured it would be higher than MoP. /shrug

[Socialhealer]

for every person saying wow is dying
