Garrison Campaign Quests Active
Garrison Campaign quests are now active and the one you get each week appears to be random.

One option you may get is from Khadgar's Servant in your garrison, which sends you to Shadowmoon Valley for a short quest chain that rewards Sargerei Disguise (which is not a Toy).

So like.. thats a big number for a 10 year old game. I think we can safely say WoW is NOT dead.

[Baneleaf]

Well that explains the queue times.

[Zabrinka]

Holy crap. Well, WoD is well worth coming back for.

[Deleted]

WOW! Damn son.

[Lime]

Mind blown, now give it a few months

[Kuul]

BOOM!

Damn, this is some shit.

[Prag]

It's funny when you look at the start of WoW. Games launch now with triple those numbers and decline, but people still say WoW is a dying game.

[Dome Fossil]

Sub updates? WoW is dead! Wait, what? Oops, force of habit.

[Deleted]

This explains the crappy servers tho. Yet i do question, how did they manage to keep it up back in wrath ?

[Slirith]

it'll drop by 3mil in 6 months. Expansions always bring back subscribers.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

I...didn't think this was possible.

[Deleted]

you know trial accounts count as subs right?

[glowpipe]

its already down to like 8 mill with this terrible release. one week after and garrisons and dungeons still do not work

[Vishy]

Where are your gods now doomsayers?

[Collected]

No wonder the servers were catching fire.
