    I dunno but if you think people complain about the cash shop now... just wait to see what happens if WoW ever went free to play

    There is no quote. If there was it would be on every gaming news site in the known universe, Twitter and everywhere else. Since it isn't there is no quote.

    Both new mobile games are free to play. WoW, both retail and classic versions will continue as a combination of free to play and premium sub.
    Sounds like a load of bullshit.

    We currently do not know the mobile games in progress, yet, and they sure as hell ain't going to sacrifice one of their main cash-cows for mobile apps.
    FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..

    It's mmoc, if the mods actually did their jobs and closed/banned ops that just shit post and rage bait the site would have 3 threads a month.

    Instead they ban the people that call out the obvious trolls/bait threads.

Kotick is almost 60, rich as hell, with no kids and no family, in other words he is only hanging around if he can sit on a throne and be worshipped by sycophant's. The expansion packs will continue as long as they are selling over a million copies per expansion but below that there will be questions about the value of continuing on a downward spiral or selling the brand while it is still worth something.
    No kids? Somebody better tell Audrey Kotick they don't exist.

    look, I know you hate wow. But fact is - wow retail on PC rakes in the big bucks on the regular. Shit all you want on SL, it made alot of money for ActiBlizz and will continue to do so with subs, mounts,token++.

    It makes zero sense whatsoever to give up on wow on pc right now. Add more games/venues to explore the warcraft universe? Sure, mobile games are probably coming. End retail wow on PC? No chance.

    Most people bitching and moaning now about SL will buy the next xpac and sub up.

    News like that would be front page, so there is no way I’d believe any of this nonsense.

    I don’t doubt there is more mobile content coming, though.

    Op if you want to troll at least check reality before - we are in 8th expansion, so the supposed "end" is like 5y ahead... doubt they have such cut and dry plans so far ahead... especialy considering wow is still making INCREDIBLE amounts of money...

    My coffee grounds this morning read that 12.0 will be about space dildos and it's on my PC.
    You are welcome, Metzen. I hope you won't fuck up my underground expansion idea.

    Why you always fall to OP's bait threads? Check her started threads and how many are closed.

    We can only really shit on him, because the rules forbid us from calling him and others out on their bullshit.

    So pathetic. People have been predicting wow mobile imminent since about LK. Not gonna happen anytime soon or it will be a parallel product, not the actual retail line. Wow is completely unfit for mobile devices and you should simplify the hell out of every aspect of the game to be playable on mobile.

    We're "discussing" this crap, if that can be called even discussion.

    Not our fault shit like this stays open and is allowed to happen and fester on a daily basis by the same few bad faith posters. Like this thread is opened to literally just agitate people with fake news to boot, but nobody with a power to do anything about it gives a damn apparently.

    So we end up "discussing", because that's what we do.

    the best way to squeeze money out of the blizzard ip is in making movies and tv out of the lore. trying to make pc games in a mobile world isnt very good. they could sell the blizzard ips to disney. but before they do that, it would be wise to reset the lore to wow vanilla to stir up as much nostalgia as possible. otherwise you are making tv about the janitor. they gotta scrub current wow out of this first.
    TO FIX WOW:1. smaller server sizes & server-only LFG awarding satchels, so elite players help others. 2. "helper builds" with loom powers - talent trees so elite players cast buffs on low level players XP gain, HP/mana, regen, damage, etc. 3. "helper ilvl" scoring how much you help others. 4. observer games like in SC to watch/chat (like twitch but with MORE DETAILS & inside the wow UI) 5. guild leagues to compete with rival guilds for progression (with observer mode).6. jackpot world mobs.

    Getting anyone to play WoW even for free is a losing battle now that 99% of all players left. The casuals see the game catering only to the 1% hardcore raiders and feel alienated. No point in giving blizzard feedback either as it seems they want the game to die but don’t wanna kill it abruptly. They have plans for a WoW mobile to take over the IP in the future.

    Simply Google WoW mobile.

    Well... Those Legion spaceships needed to be just A LITTLE more stylized and from a distance, they would have looked disturbingly similar to... /puke

    Yeah it's kind of disheartening to say the least. I know the mods volunteer but at the same time I couldn't volunteer to coach a little league baseball team while also showing up drunk and punching the kids. Not doing your job=not doing your job paid or not.
