Wow is not dead and it wont die even with the 800k lost subs. My understanding to what happened (MY UNDERSTANDING = May or May NOT be Right!)
Is that wow was already dead/dying in china,
If people forgot the events that happened in WoW China (or maybe WoW Asia ? w/e im not 100% sure anyway)
1- Banning all the GUYS (in real life) that are playing Female Characters (lol) in game
2- Banning WoTLK and finally releasing it after destroying the actual contents
(check China Marrowgar lol etc) and they delayed the expansion till EU and US players were killing the lich king.
and obviously.. way too obvious is :
3- Mists of Pandaria ... i dont even need to say more.
If im not wrong, This is the end for WoW China unless they make a "Special" Version of Mists of NOTPanderia
