How many subscribers are left?

[Spiffums]

My main server with from NEW PLAYER to FULL. I guess all the subs just realm changed to Dalaran.

[Gimlix]

I think anyone who thinks WoW has still around 5M is lying to themself.
It's lower. Not alot but it's lower.

4M'ish i would say?

[WowIsDead64]

Some changes to game suggest, that number of subs is very low and still dropping. For example removal of PVP servers in BFA is essentially about merging PVP servers with PVE ones, as PVE no longer have enough players to play with.

[FelPlague]

My server has gone from Full to Low.
80% of realms are saying Low

There is nobody in the main hubs anymore, I think they're currently lower than they've ever been.

do you have an example of when?
was it full before legion (legion upgrafded the server counts)
and was it during peak time? and now you are comparing it to now, and at lowest time?
also main hubs? what the fuck do you mean main hubs, everyone just stays in their order hall or goes and does actualty content

No, removal of PVP servers is stopping an issue of people who want to play with friends, therefore being FORCED into pvp.
also they wont be merging servers, what are you talking about?
there is stil lPLENTY of pve to play with

There is people who think less then a million
i comissioned my new avatar for that exact reason.

5-6 million seems reasonable.

Ehhhh i liek to give it the benefit, but i still think 3-5
still amazing numbers, but it seems people rather have less content, then more RNG based content

[HordeFanboy]

Below 2 million.

my server for example, see those dots, those are each a player who has TRP active currently, at 3pm on a work day.
there is also ALOT morep layers then just that
and before you say "cross realm" moonguard baby
also alot of these blue dots are stacked people for example

so each blue dot coul be 1-20 people
also i should try to get the screenshots from this years ToA.

The the white knights will say 8 million or more and the the grumpiest will say 500k or less.
It's probably somewhere in between thoes two but Blizzard never actualy gives out exact numbers anymore after they started to drop below 4 million or so.

They make most of their income from services and box sales these days anyway. The actual sub numbers do not really matter and with cross realm you never actually get to see any really empty server anymore.

[FelPlague]

Just a stab in the dark, I'd say around 7 or 8 million right now.

Ok nice, im all for ya being positive, but abit tooooo high there man.

On a server that has no cross realm.
it is very populated, like very.
but yeah the people saying 8 mill, like thanks for being positive when like 80% of people will be negitivie, but try to be reasonable, and the people for example ol less then 2 million above me.
well Avatar is now relevent

It definitely isn't in a freefall like WoD was at the same point in it's lifecycle.

lol? PvP has been a minigame for about 8 years now. They've tried time and time again to make PvP interesting and failed every time.

Since solid numbers aren't available and most answers will be speculation based on anecdote and guesswork, there is unlikely to be much of constructive discussion to be had on this topic. Closing.
