WoW down to 9.6 million subscribers as of December 31st, 2012

We should discuss WoW more. WoW losers are what I think of when I see PC gamer.

I always found it funny that people who play MMO's, a gaming genre where they socialize without thousands and interact with others almost constantly through chat or some other voice chat service (Skype, Ventrilo etc.) are viewed as anti-social losers.

Children with the IQ of a rock screaming over XBL are clearly better at this task :P

To WoW fans.

Others looking for a fresh experience. Well they play Guild Wars

Socializing online is completely from than in person.....

I stopped playing about 4 months ago. I personally think the game has gone down hill in so many ways. CanYouDiglt

How much of your life did you waste on it?

The game is way too grindy now with daily / weekly content, and epic gear you have to farm for outside of raids, so you can't keep up with the times if you don't play 24/7. I miss the competitive PvE scene but yeah, real life called.

Blizzard is historically one of the greatest but my enthusiasm for the company was dampened by the Activision merger.

From my little time spent playing SC2 I think I will love that game so they are still relevant, I'm waiting for the inevitable complete edition in the future.

Still amusing any way I look at it.

my biggest complaint this time around was not making any new big battlegrounds.

i would probably still be messing around with it if it had a new wintergrasp or tol barad type mass battle to que up for.

i used to just que up for those and then do things away from the keyboard like watch tv or whatever then play the bg when it started.

pve gets old super quick but player killing was something i never tired of.

i was pretty shocked as soon as i realized they did not include a new mass battle.

wtf blizz?

I imagine you must have worked hard to achieve such a great physique playing all those console games.

Go fetch me my supper you filthy console peasant.

LOL I talk more on here than I play games lately. And we all the fat basement dwelling social losers are PC hermits. WoW is proof of that.

9.6 Million paying subscribers is more than any other MMO out there, I don't really see the problem.

9.6 million times a monthly fee

PC gaming still stuck in MMOs I see...

So you just sit in formus to talk about games you dont play.  

And people wonder why PC gamers are the master race................

Oh the horror! They're down to just a slightly less impossibly large regular player base!

Best expansion since TBC, but Wrath did irreparable harm to the game. Still got a lot of life in it, though.

Its not a waste if you enjoyed it.

It KILLS me that Diablo 3 is the #1 selling game of all time. Hurts my soul.

Diablo 2 is arguably the best game ever, and D3 is such a pile of sh!t. I hope you die horribly, Jay Wilson. HORRIBLY!!!

trollop_scat

Please.... tell us what you really think.

Diablo 3 is a good game, its not perfect. But neither was D2.

never played it, never will... Nothing against the game, I just wont ever do a monthly subscription to a game.  I'd think about it all day like I was losing money if I didnt play.  blah.  Probably the biggest KOTOR fan you'll ever meet and I refused to play TOR too.  I may play it now that its free but I doubt it.

princeofshapeir

by the time i started playing tb it was always like me alone vs 3 guys on the other side.

the one i miss playing was wintegrasp, that was the one i just stayed in the que and replayed over and over again.

it was strange to me they did not have a new one like that ready to go for mop.

i would still be playing wow if i had that to play instead of quitting after i had run all the raids and finished all the daily content.

OMG! only $115 million every month?!! The horror:o  And they only made 1.1 billion last year... they will not survive.

I may play WoW if it didn't cost anything.musicalmac

You can play to level 20 for free.

to me mmo's are the absolute cheapest gaming experience that exists.

plus when you get sick of the mmo expansion  all the games i normally would have bought are a few months old and have had price cuts.

does nobody else do it that way?

Yeah.

GW2 is quality stuff.

WoW could lose half of that and still be one of the most played games in the world,and the fact that it has around 10M subscribers after almost 9 years it´s pretty incredible,no other game ever came close to that.Arach666

WoW died right before Wrath came out.  Blizzard caved and completely casualized it.

Its pretty sad to see that WoW has gone from this...:

... to this:

(the MoP picture is a little inaccurate by only one detail: the panda isn't wearing its hat)

People feel invested in the game, it's hard to let go after they've spend hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars on a single game all these years. Even if they want to move on, it's hard......... sucks for them.SaltyMeatballs

I actually enjoy the game,  so it doesn't suck for me.

Yep WOW lost its attitude and coolness. I feel like im playing a Disney mod with MOP.

How does it still have so many subscribers? I just don't understand. It really is an addiction for most people who play it.

It's no more addicting than any other RPG.

Everything about this game looks terrible no matter the time period.

I always looked at WoW as a MMORPG with training wheels. At some point you have to move on.
