Well, by a lot:
Most of Expansion V if it's intended to be released by Spring next year.
5.5
Heroes of the Storm
Diablo 3 Expansion details
Starcraft 2 next expansion details
Hearthstone stuff
Possible Titan stuff.
I guess it depends on what the two of us consider to be "a lot".
Called -150k. But as of 30 sept so during 5.4 rush peak.... That not so good.
I think it ll depends of bllizzcon and 5.5 but we ll see bigger drop the next q.
Q4 at least 400k
Q1 600k
Now blizzard have to find a way to keep subs for 6 month without any new big content. A true challenge. Blizzcon hype could help.
Imo if next xpac sounds great i ll just unsub my 3 acc and w8 for it. If it sucks, well...

Here's the bottom line. Ppl are applauding the fact they only lose 100k instead 1mil. That's like saying - good job - you only lost the game 5-4 as opposed to losing 12-1. It's definitely progress and better than the doom and gloom faction expected, but seriously - slowing the bleeding and stopping the bleeding are two completely different things. Blizzcon is critical for their future success, popularity and growth. And, I am 85% certain they will fuck it up beyond recognition.
They have a lot more going on now than they have at any other Blizzcon in the past. We have three franchises with expansions on the way and two side games that still haven't been released but have different amounts of testing going on.
Plus there's the movie, all kinds of merchandise, and the extremely tiny and unlikely chance they might show us something about Titan (which I doubt).
WoW would still be in the top 100 populated countries if it were a country, right above Bulgaria at 99!
Well SoO isn't exactly old yet so it's expected to have stayed around the same spot, to be honest I thought there would be a slight rise in subscribers. Meh, guess I was wrong.
Hey everyone
Authors I have enjoyed enough to mention here: JRR Tolkein, Poul Anderson,Jack Vance, Gene Wolfe, Glen Cook, Brian Stableford, MAR Barker, Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, WM Hodgson, Fredrick Brown, Robert SheckleyJohn Steakley, Joe Abercrombie, Robert Silverberg, the norse sagas, CJ Cherryh, PG Wodehouse, Clark Ashton Smith, Alastair Reynolds, Cordwainer Smith, LE Modesitt, L. Sprague de Camp & Fletcher Pratt, Stephen R Donaldon, and Jack L Chalker.
Not really. There will be other quarterly reports after this one and before the next expansion launches. It's fair to say they'll be worse than this one which is better than I expected.
On another note: it's disgusting to see so many people emotionally invested in the failure of a video game. Move on already.
