Arkerus Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I think the MMO market itself is in decline. It hit a bubble and now it's going back down again. Almost all products and markets experience that over the course of several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt_Latency Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Game is 7 years old. The fact that it still has subs at all is pretty impressive. How many games last 7 years never mind hold the number 1 spot. You can't compare the 2 with a straight face. it's not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash-X Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Game is 7 years old. The fact that it still has subs at all is pretty impressive. How many games last 7 years never mind hold the number 1 spot. You can't compare the 2 with a straight face. it's not even close. Pretty much. Nothing is killing WoW except time. I think finally the really outdated graphics and gameplay may be finally starting to wear thin on a lot of it's players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inrsx Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 SWTOR went from 1.7 subs to "well over 500k" and went F2P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taloraan Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 SWTOR went from 1.7 subs to "well over 500k" and went F2P. This, and as mentioned earlier, WoW has been around the block for some time. The fact that TOR didn't even make it to a 1 year anniversary without going with added F2P model is hilariously bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy_Wars Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 F2P in less than a year is epic fail. These mmo guys failed at running a traditional mmo. They gonna suck even more at trying F2P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taorus Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 Well...Since F2P is the future of MMO gaming....EA make a prudent business decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SithEater Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Well...Since F2P is the future of MMO gaming....EA make a prudent business decision.People say that like its a good thing. I mean who wants decent content delivered in a timely manner when they can have f2p mmos take their money and spend the majority of their development into making more crap for you to buy in the $ store. Who needs new raids when you have 10 new pets to choose from right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aricus Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Only about 6 weeks to MoP see how much they rise then except I bet you don't post those. I'll probably rise some but I don't think they're going to recover the 3 million subs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catsmeat Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Well they sure didn't end up here. I wonder where they went? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aricus Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) Well they sure didn't end up here. I wonder where they went? Honestly, probably various games single player? Or perhaps they're just done with the game. If you think about it the last three Expacs had noteworthy raid bosses in them (including Vanilla had some). Arthas, Illidan, Kel Thas, Kel Thuzad, Sapphiorn (sp), Kil J, Sarages, Death Wing, and etc. I don't even know who the F*** is in MoP lore wise. So I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the Warcraft fans left since pretty much all the important lore bosses were killed.

They gonna suck even more at trying F2P. the guy from warhammer is on the steering wheel....either he happens to be THE unluckiest SOB on the planet and he always comes into projects that are going to get screwed by the investors and shareholders , or he screws the game up and the shareholders and investors salvage what they can....hmmm i wonder wich one could be?
