Can relate to that, tried MOP trial and visited my old server (alliance) which had top world guild progress during TBC and WOTLK, numerous 25 guilds, Ironforge was packed at any hour.
Today? Not one (1) alliance guild is ranked at wowprogress, which lists 289 guilds who have killed at least 1 raid boss in this expansion. It's not just dead in a sense of small population. It literally is dead, with only CRZ people occupating old cities.
Well, okay
What effect does this have on me? oh, none at all? okay
You assuming im a fanboi is fail if i understand you correct. Facts are that the number of WoW subs are so high that most likely no MMO will ever get near to it.
If you're talking about investors that getting a heart attack for a decline in 1 product over the complete blizzard line, even a expected decline (yeah any well thinking investor will have the brain and knowledge to see that this product has gone waaaaaaay over his top and its impossible to maintain), I think your seriously missing the way of thinking of a decent and realistic investor.
Trust me, no skilled investor would assume that their investments keep increasing endless in value on a 'product' like this.
Besides they don't invest in WoW, they invest in Blizzard and/or Activision, as long as Blizz' their revenues are good in relation to economical developments and/or comparing products or companies, no investor will die of a heart attack.

WoW's biggest problem right now is dealing with the dead servers. My server went from a medium sized population, but fairly active at the end of Wrath to an absolute ghost town where even putting together a Sha pug can take over an hour, if you can even make it happen. I'm pretty sure we don't have enough skilled players left on the server to ever put together an Oondasta kill once 5.2 hits, which all adds up to a game that is becoming increasingly less enjoyable. For those of us not willing to give Blizzard transfer fees, it'll come down to the choice of how long I keep playing, not where to move. Most of my guild feels the same way as those who are willing to transfer from our server have likely already done so. If Blizzard doesn't address this soon, a lot of servers will bleed out and they'll see a more major sub loss. WoW isn't on it's death bed, but the situation could spin out of control on Blizzard faster than they realize if they don't make it a priority.
So, an 8 year old game is no longer increasing its player base. Wow, what a shocker. Still funny to see all the 'wow is dying' idiots.
Im one of those 500k, got bored of my main, alts in mop are horrible, so im off wow for awhile. Eventually ill be back, but gw2's got me hooked again right now
Subs going up again with new content in 5.2 like it allways was....9.6 million subs...theres not one game out there who had ever this amount of subs.....
You guys do realize that even at these numbers they are still making 1.7 billion dollars a year off subs alone. Not to mention the other services such as transfers, name changes and store pets.

After 8+ years...I unsubbed yesterday.
I had hopes 5.2 would improve the aspect of the game that kept me around so long...my alts. From everything I've seen and read...it's going to be just more of the same. Been a good run though!
I don't really care. As long as the game is entertaining to me i will keep playing.
Il still be playing till im the last person online.
Imagine that,your the only player left in World Of Warcraft,how eerie would that be,specially when you see someone or something zoom past your vision and you race to see who it was or what it was,ghosts in the machine son! Holy sheet!

Are you mad? For one everything you read is not final its only in PTR so thats 1+ dumb point to you.
AND HOW CAN YOU NOT BE EXCITED ABOUT RIDING A FRICKING TRICERATOPS!!!
Maybe its just me but i think you should do a little less reading and more time playing. Me thinks you have made a huge mistake (in gaming terms not real life terms ofc)

Well after all blizz have to ban some botz
i could not think that day when WoW is REALY dead.. I mean, its a pioneer of whole mmorpg games. First of its kind and no other game cant beat it... ever.
China will never quit, being the majority of WoW player base will always make it look popular. What do you expect from no sub & free expansions.
But as you see, anything negative the haters will jump on it like it is christmas morning or candy. There nothing you can really do about it, just let them look like idiots and move on is the best advice I can give. This a WoW fansite its not surprising that people just outta the shadows to through around some words. As Karma will take its tole in the future & it will be funny.
I don't always hunt things, But when I do, It's because they're things & I'm a Bear.
