WoW Up to 10 Million Subscribers
This afternoon Blizzard released the subscribers count as of November 13, 2014. This is up 2.6 million from the Q3 2014 call that listed WoW at 7.4 million subscribers.

Warlords of Draenor has sold over 3.3 million copies so far, up from 1.5 million pre-ordered in August.

Garrison Campaign Quests Active
Garrison Campaign quests are now active and the one you get each week appears to be random.

One option you may get is from Khadgar's Servant in your garrison, which sends you to Shadowmoon Valley for a short quest chain that rewards Sargerei Disguise (which is not a Toy).

    Fun kick in the teeth to the people I've seen on this forum declaring that WoD would bring 500k back and go F2P with the launch of the next expansion which would also be the last.
    I thought it wouldn't ever get above 10M. I had hoped it wouldn't too, I want a better game to play. WoW is pretty boring. Seems WoW is going to be king for another 5 years again. I'm tired of garbage games trying to copy it, oh well. We'll see how many it holds on to though over the new months. I'm guessing everyone just VASTLY underestimated how much people hated Pandas. I'm not really sure where all these resubs came from either.

    It’s an amazing achievement.

    People will say “Yeah but MoP had 10 million too” but according to the long term downward trend that begun at the end of WOTLK, they were losing roughly 2 million subs per expansion start. Cataclysm had 12 million thanks mainly to WOTLK, MoP had 10 million.. the trend was WoD 8 million or less.

    And let’s not forget MoP had 6.8 million last year. So they’ve added 3.2 million subs in less than a year. That is phenomenal for a 10 year old game. Just look at how sharp that upwards line is on the graph.. you have to go back to the end of 2005 to find a jump that steep. Amazing.

    What does this tell us? WoW still has an amazingly strong and attractive foundation and if Blizzard can make true on their promise to keep the content regular and of a high quality.. they could be set for even bigger numbers.

    I get goosebumps imagining how this has gone down with Blizzard and in particular people like Chris Metzen. It’s also shown them their decision to put their MMO eggs back into the WoW basket was the right move.

    May the good times continue. Enjoy them folks.

    The Asian Numbers aren't fully in.

    If Quality of Gameplay speaks of anything, Warlords of Draenor deserves 12.5 Million Subscribers or more. It's by FAR best MMO I've ever played. The leveling design was nothing short of perfect, the story, the garrisons, everything has been amazing, now that my Server isn't stuck with a Queue anymore. I just hit Level 100, and I'm actually in awe with this game again in a way I haven't been since Wrath (when I joined).

    Blizzard has made the perfect expansion, IMO.

    They both work fine for me.

    And no, you're wrong, subscribers are now up to 100 billion. (If you get to simply make up new numbers without a shred of evidence, so do I.)

    Launch boost, happens every expansion.

    How people are in shock and awe is beyond me. Look at the chart.

    Yeah cause a 50% subscriber jump isn't something to be in awe of.

    Especially when that 50% is the next 5 MMOs combined.
  1. Pachycrocuta's Avatar
    Well would you look at that. I honestly didn't think it would ever get this high again.

    Also, to those people saying they shouldn't do it yet since they need a q4 call: They ALWAYS give a subscriber number count 1-4 weeks after a new expansion rolls out, no matter when it happens in a quarter.

    We can do this!
    Only 2 Million from the peak, but still to gain 2 million subs they would have to not only maintain the 10 million, but pull in more subs. We will have to see if they can do it.

    Awesome!

    Come on, East! Put the population higher than it has ever been!!
    Yay, subs! Show those naysayers!

    They're not working fine on EU-Ragnaros (and I'm guessing a lot of other high pop servers) as the Instance servers are full constantly.

    And this is why my server has been fucked the past week. haha

    They don't, and they aren't counted. It is made explicitly clear.

    Almost 50% they still need to get back to 12 Million, only 2 Million away.
