Prediction: WoW Down to 5.7 Million Subs

[Notdev]

In before people start saying Blizzard is lying.
Anyone who thought that wow would lose 2 million subs in one quarter is delusional.

[Polarthief]

TBH I'm shocked someone would really think subs would plummet this much after a patch.

Q1 2014 though, they'll lose that 200k if not more, just to gain quite a bit in Q2 when WoD comes out, then back to losing more in Q3/Q4.

[Ofire]

Lol...everyone who has seen the up by 200k is going to come post here now.

[Kezotar]

HAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA my face when I see the front page and these masterminds prediction about wows subscription, ahhahaha

[Toppy]

I'm usually the first to defend wow, but even I wouldn't have guessed at a rise in subs in the middle of a subpar raid tier with so little other content.

[Msi]

In your face, muahahahaha GJ Blizz

I just, cannot. Stop. Laughing. Oh. God. Oh good Lord. Oh, my sides hurt.

UP by 200k. Where is your god now, OP?

Probably banned, along with the OP. It will be mildly amusing to see the spin the doomsayers will try to give it.

I still predict "SoO was fresh, carried subs. No new content in Q1, Q2 report will drop by ~2mil." type responses from them.

And so it begins..

Without a doubt. People will say I'm a "doomsayer", but I'm more or less tied to facts than stupid opinions with no ground or basis to stand on.

While no one expected a 200k jump upwards, it's a guarantee that subs will drop in this quarter, and drop even further in Q2 unless WoD drops then. Patches jump up a bit, expansions jump up a lot higher. Quarters without any content drop subs.

Ungeared players like having Timeless Isle to easily get gear, and there WAS a raid tier. Whether it was subpar or not (I think it is) is opinion based, but that won't affect subs. Q1 2014 will lose that 200k, if not moreso.

[McNeil]

Well... we just had 20 pages of pretty much nothing now

[Socialhealer]

HAHAHA, jaylock (insert insults here the guy really is a ******) a million miles off, unlucky troll, oh also you're banned class guy i'm glad we have him around here really makes everyone else look like a genius.

Why do people care so much about how many people are playing? Just don't play on a shitty dead server and you're fine.

Honestly, you've nothing to back that claim. This earnings report is of the end of the quarter yes? If we didnt see a drop then, which is something we'd normally see, you can't really assume we'll see one later. Its baseless doomsaying at this point, because everything was pointing towards a drop that didn't happen.

I'm guessing they're planning on a PvP resurgence to help sustain the game through the next few months. It might actually happen, as the value of PvP gear will be the highest it's been in the expansion.

7,8m people, 10m people, 4 m people have one thing in common. That's still a fuckload of people that (most) MMO's/other games can only dream off.

lol @ all the haters, get owned!
