A loss of 0.9-1.2 million. Reason: nothing to do.

Its not really the fact that there is nothing to do, but that Mop is an all round shit expansion. When you base an expansion off fluffy panda bears, pet battles, evil rabbits, cliche boss quotes "you will perish!, you will not get to the emperoress, you will fail!", and mystical asian themed settings, then you know the expansion is doomed for failure.

How is it biased? That actually has a meaning, you can just say something is biased because you don't like it. Originally Posted by Jeffseid

But if you think there is going to be anything other than a sub loss you're crazy!

probs a 1-2mil loss, honestly wouldn't surprise me with how stale some of the gameplay is.

I am not sure we are going to get to know.
With 6.0.2 landing between end of Q3 and the Call, I think we might get a "The Current Subs Are" number.
So with that in mind I think there might be a gain (will for sure be a loss if we get the actual end of Q3 results).

I chose 500,000 to 1 Million Subs Lost. At this point people are just plain tired of "Pandaria," and really want to move on from this abysmal expansion... I can't wait for Warlords though, I will resubscribe just a week before it hits to do the pre expansion stuff and have my chars ready at the dark portal. Originally Posted by malletin

I predict the end of WoW, nearly everyone will quit before WoD, Blizzard won't release the expansion, WoW will be no more. Blizzard (out of desperation) release Vanilla servers and the subs increase to a new high 25 million. MMOChampion will have to add a Vanilla appreciation section to their WoW forums because everyone will agree that Vanilla was the best. When classic WoW comes to the end of its 2nd year Blizzard will announce the next expansion, Classic WoW all over again.
The entire population of earth will play WoW and decide that Classic WoW was so good that Blizzard should become rulers of the planet. Space travel will soon follow and in years to come Classic WoW will be played all over the universe.

These threads should just be closed before they are even started. It's pointless because it doesn't affect you at all. I put other because I don't care how many subs they have, long as I am having fun that's all that counts.
