    WoW stabilizes over 10M subscribers, down 100k in Q4 2011

    Diablo 3 - Activision Blizzard Q4 Conference Call - Diablo III Planned for Q2 2012

    WoW stabilizes over 10M subscribers, down 100k in Q4 2011
    Activision Blizzard latest earning call revealed that World of Warcraft lost 100,000 subscribers last quarter, following the loss of 800k subscribers announced last quarter and 300k loss from the quarter before that. The game lost 1.8M Subscribers over the year but the number seems to stabilize over 10M and it wouldn't be surprising to see it go back up with the release of Mists of Pandaria this year.

    World of Warcraft now has 10.2M active subscribers.


    • World of Warcraft lost 100,000 subscribers, down to 10.2 million. This was a total lost of 1.8 million for the year.
    • Diablo III should launch in Q2
    • More than one million Annual Passes have been sold in the West.
    • Blizzard is happy with how the subscription numbers held up during the most competitive quarter ever.
    • When asked about churn since the competitor's launch, "December was a good month for us."
    • There are ~50 million active Battle.net, Call of Duty multiplayer, Call of Duty Elite, and Skylanders WebWorld users.

Oh and most of us couldn't even afford our epic car mount to drive there, we had to settle for our 60% bike mounts.

    From a business perspective, not good.

    Glad to see them stabilizing.

    ...Blizzard has gone the mile and added LFR for those people, but nerfing normal and hc modes is just plain stupid. The Burning Legion didn't get pushed back by lining up a thousand arcane mages spamming AB. It took work work work.

    Like I said, when Blizzard made the hard content mandatory to progress... All my friends quit and the game lost millions of players. When they stopped making hard content mandatory, they stabilized.In Mists of Pandaria, I like how the hard dungeons are for fun and not mandatory to progress. I think this is a great improvement upon their Cata philosophy.

    Very impressive. I bet they dread the next quarter (or two) before MoP launch, though.

    I do hope this isn't going to make them overconfident again.

    Well you were all correct. Blizzard is bleeding subs. At the current rate of 100,000 per quarter WOW subs will equal TOR's in a little over 20 YEARS.
