I didn't do anything wrong.

It's not that surprising. You could buy MoP+WOW for $15 with 1 month of subscription at the end of last year. I bought 3. One is already unsubbed and the other two will finish this month. $15 is nothing to try out the content that you have missed.

You say bandages I say content.

Awesome news! MoP is an awesome expansion, You deserved it Blizzard! Now give us WoD beta and make it awesome too! <3 Blizzard

Wow, I'm very surprised. It's a small increase but any increase at all is unexpected.

To be honest, while I really like WoW and all, I don't think the current game deserves that amount of subs.

The game is still expansing its cash shop while it has plenty of subs

Yah cause "Wow is dying" 7.6 million subscribers and you thought it was dying. At that pace it will be dead in what 2034? i mean really. WoW will die when they release a better game, and stop releasing content. Most of us are family we have played this game so long.

Great to see it's getting stabilized.

im wondering, maybe RaF accounts are boosting the numbers a bit, in decemeber they reduced the cost of WoW to £4 from vanilla-cata, so a lot of people took advantage of that and raffed up new characters while it was cheap

Surprising that it happened NOW, but not surprising that it happened. WoD will bring in a chunk of subs I'm sure.

Oh well, doesn't change my gameplay at all. Gotta laugh at the morons choosing not to TRUST them on this or feeling butturt about it just because they have such a grudge against a game.

I laugh at Jaylock, Trassak, and all the other doombringers.

12m soon tm

Then back up another mil or so with WoD in Q2 (assuming it's in Q2)

In Jaylock's thread, he assumed it would have dropped to 5.7mil or something. That is ~2 mil.

I mean, I have no illusions that a ~10yr old game won't slowly erode the sub base until the plug is finally pulled at some point, and it will have little bumps and nudges with major patches and expacs, but still, it was definitely worth a chuckle at how wrong some were.

You look down on casual and new players, but you get offended when someone tells you the truth?
We all know who has to grow up here...

SoO launch
WoD announcement + Blizzcon
$5 battlechest for almost 2 months

Bring on Q1 2014 numbers.

Kinda shocked the numbers went up, especially with how tight lipped they are being about WoD and/or the beta
