Eh

Not feeling it like I was for WoD. Elf-only demon hunters don't appeal to me.

same old shit.

I had fun questing in WoD, but quit when I realized that the Garrison system was essentially Facebook.

World of Warcraft has hit its lowest subscriber total in ages.
As part of a quarterly financial statement, Blizzard announced that WoW hit a recent-years low of 5.6 million subscribers.
When we last got an official count from Blizzard back in May, WoW was at 7.1 million subscribers. It was a pretty steep drop from the game’s post-Warlords of Draenor high of 10 million
Since then, Blizzard’s expanded Warlords of Draenor’s endgame with some of their most challenging raid content yet, but perhaps it was a case of too little, too late.
Perhaps, if Blizzard can reliably put their expansion factory into overdrive, players will stop canceling subs between expansions, throwing the game into this torrid cycle of boom and bust.

iirc, BC averaged around 7m and was constant growth? Now sub base has dropped below that....

There's no fool like an old fool.

They've reduced the dev time between expansions, too.

In a way that's good because you're not drifting aimlessly for a year after the last content patch hits, but you're also looking at yearly expansions.

I haven't actually subbed in awhile myself. I quit before the game tokens came out and only buy game time with gold. Cuz I'm rich bitch.

[SHAFT]

They're going for the cool factor for sure. Demon hunters and Illidan. That'll get more subs.

The emerald nightmare and getting to fight gul'dan sounds cool though.

How much does a month usually cost in gold? I don't even know how much I have any more, but I used to have a couple characters at gold cap (was it ever raised past the ~2M, I think it was?). I'm sure I'd be considered poor at this point.
