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).

    Watching you lot get so upset and sore over WoW is a lot more fun than playing it, I've been here for years but only decided to sign up just to convey how utterly pathetic I think some of you are over how hurt you are when someone bad mouths the game.

    Looking at the published figures less than half of the, how shall I say it without upsetting people and triggering them... "subscribers" have bought the new expansion.

    Nice edit there.

    As for the stuff you removed, Asians don't buy their expansions, which accounts for quite a bit of the "missing" numbers.

    Point is still valid, an extremely large amount of people are hurt because of the lack of transparency.

    As to my edit I had a few typos, re-read it and thought you lot aint worth it. You'll cry and have their children regardless.

    10 million subs, WoW is dieing guys

    Nice to see that nice increase in subs. Was what i was predicting that WoD will get them back up to Lich King numbers and bring back alot of the old school players..I believe people will still be coming in and the Q2 report will show them at about 12 million subs.

    Is this confirmed? Digital Spy says it includes free game trials.

    Confused. Does anyone else notice it says December 2014 for the "spike"? Thinking these are projected numbers, not what's happened yet.

    An endless cycle of people justifying subscribers to support their opinions. There is always an increase of subscribers for a new expansion. We'll see if they can hold them..

    Every company on the planet cooks the books. They own the SEC. They lobbied in the wording of most of the regulations. Companies get to define terms like "subscriber" in-house. The SEC doesn't track whether 3 million of Blizzard's subscribers are trial accounts at any given time.

    Damn... the more you know. Wonder why no other MMO is at 10 mil subs if they can count trial accounts and announce as many subs as they want.

    3.3 m copies of draenor makes no sense. how can there be 6,7m subs without draenor
    must be a lot of people waiting till the storm is over to activate their copies.
    or you would almost think that almost all those 6.7 without draenor are battlechest accounts aka secondary accounts, farmbots or multiboxers

    Dude. If corporations lie on such things, what they worry about isn't the SEC, it's shareholder lawsuits.

    Hint : Shareholders.

    They have rights if the company is being misleading and deceptive.
