DragonAgeOrgins Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Since there is no off topic WoW stabilizes over 10M subscribers, down 100k in Q4 2011 Activision Blizzard latest earning call revealed that World of Warcraft lost 100,000 subscribers last quarter, following the loss of 800k subscribers announced last quarter and 300k loss from the quarter before that. The game lost 1.8M Subscribers over the year but the number seems to stabilize over 10M and it wouldn't be surprising to see it go back up with the release of Mists of Pandaria this year. World of Warcraft now has 10.2M active subscribers. World of Warcraft lost 100,000 subscribers, down to 10.2 million. This was a total lost of 1.8 million for the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullwrath Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 It seems Deathwing's Cataclysm hit so hard that it even smacked Blizzard in real life. Now *that's* a boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalDreamz Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) Now it's going to be reversed. Instead of WoW holding subs from SWTOR. SWTOR will have to prove it's worth for when GW2, Tera, and MoP come out. I highly doubt SWTOR will only dip 100k from those titles. Heck they'll probably dip 200k by next month against no competition. Edited February 10, 2012 by DigitalDreamz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's likely to lose subscribers until MoP, regain subscribers for a time thanks to it and then start to losing them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotardNosef Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 The real question is how many of those 10.2 million are in Asia and thus aren't paying subscription fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden_Dissent Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 they already had less than 10m, how did they lose subs and go up to 10. whatever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobadee Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 So WOW has lost more subs than TOR has. ok. ha ha ^^ It's February, anyone with a life is out trying to work their social skills. I haven't had time to log into the game in weeks. Might eventually quit the game; cause, well I'd rather have someone at home at night with me than a video game that's rapidly loosing it's appeal. Fully voiced my ***, half the time you're reading because they got lazy and threw in some fake language that's just a couple of phrases being repeated over and over. Kind of like how each class has this same set of phrases that they say over and over and over throughout the entire story line. Lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackumDog Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) who cares, really. WoW is some other game, SW TOR is what we play. Edited February 10, 2012 by MackumDog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it's just the natural decline of the game, because of SWTOR or a combination of the two (not to mention other factors), we'll never know. However, one thing is for sure: I WISH WoW THE BEST OF LUCK AND HOPE IT SURVIVES. Why? Because I don't want the WoW player base flocking to SWTOR to ruin this game with their childish attitudes, their gimme gimme gimme me-first I'm hardcore cuz I exploit and play 14 hours per day nonsense, their demands that SWTOR become SPACEWOW with addons and all sorts of other crap, etc. Oh wait....

Holden_Dissent Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 The real question is how many of those 10.2 million are in Asia and thus aren't paying subscription fees. they claimed once upon a time that only 4m subs were from us/eu. Since they don't know whether they lose subs in the Asia market, I'm guessing 10.2 - (4m-recent loss) = total asian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeda Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 So, your point is? Think hes trying to say they SWTOR lost 3x as many subs a month as WoW did in 3 months. Any everyone says wow sucks so swtor sucks 3x more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quraswren Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 The real question is how many of those 10.2 million are in Asia and thus aren't paying subscription fees. I have wondered the same thing. With blizzard creating their own definition of subscription and that including anyone with a game card and each individual game card being considered a subscriber; it seems blizzards numbers are probably not what they really are. Speculation of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantragk Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 So WOW has lost more subs than TOR has. ok. By all estimates didn't TOR not gain 300k from initial box sales? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevlarto Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 it has lost subs for 4 straight quarters now, Q3 it lost 800k before TOR, plus thier stock was downgraded, the game is old and the sparkle is not as bright as it used to be, I suspect in a year or two it will make the switch to free to play, blizz execs has already stated as soon as f2p is more profitable than subs they will make the switch, can't stay on top forever..it's done well over the years.

Rouge Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I bet WoW loses more subs to GW2 and Tera than SWtOR does. TERA is another Aion. The Secret World is also part of the equation and it's offering some of the innovation that so many of the complainers here and elsewhere clamor after and is a chance to see whether they put their money based on how they write and speak. No levels, three factions etc. GW2 might not have much influence because it will have no subscription fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
