How are the hardware-requirements going to be affected?

My computer played classic just fine but with any Addon, performance went down to the point I can barely play Cataclysm.

you still have the same PC after 7 years? thats not blizzards fault
If you think it's too hard there are solutions other than asking for a nerf, getting better is the first that comes to mind.

I'm not blaming 'zzard. Just wondering if the requirements skyrocket any further, planning on picking up a new PC anyways.

well that was to be expected to be honest. DS sucked balls, and there has been no new content for 8 months now. Add to that the lack of server community and no attunements it had to go down...
But I'm pretty sure it will raise pretty harsh with mop again. That shit looks promising. You have everything. 3 nice raids, pokemon and farmville. So what else would one need?
To be serious the raids really look promising.

And the 9.1m is the PR-Number! I can't believe there are still 9m people so stupid to play this boring casualshit. I don't believe there are more than 3m accounts that pay 15$/month to blizzard.
The Pokemon&Panda Expansion will be the final blow and hopefully the death of WoW.

I played classic and BC and stopped after years when most of my friends quitted due to rl obligations or just lost interest in the game. When Cataclysm came out, I thought about joining the community again but leveling all my characters again didn't sound very appealing to me. Besides, I tested it at a friends house and wasn't that excited about it so that I would invest much time into it again.
Now, Mists of Pandaria hasn't changed my decision in the slightest. I think I just lost the connection to WoW when my friends left and the community itself grew more and more unfriendly. At least that's how I experienced it.
Moreover, cuddly pandas and cartoonish look definitely won't let me feel the urge spending +8h on. Fortunately, I should add

It should be a major wakeup call to a company when you lose about 25% of your entire customerbase in a single year. Combine this with the fact that Starcraft II seems to have lost even more players in the last year (used to be 1m+ players online everytime I played, now it's always under 500k) and that Diablo III is more than likely headed down the same road (if it hasn't already)...

Would prompt any sane company to get their act together but I have a feeling Blizzard is just going to milk their franchises into the ground and start fresh with Titan or something. They just aren't even trying these days.

Nothing to be expected when they have people doing the same content for 1 year+ like Dragon Soul, etc. With MoP, the numbers will rise as always. The number will rise for SC2 when HOTS comes out. Its just a neverending cycle, really.

this + "10 million D3 copies sold, with 1.2 million of those from the Annual Pass." 10 million is sick.. so much more money than 1 million subs which even may come back with MoP

I think this is the biggest reason why people miss vanilla/tbc days. Not because of the state the game was in content/talent trees/etc wise, but because of the times they had with friends who are no longer playing.

Every time I read new blue posts on mmo, the more and more I fully agree with blizzards decisions, and the more and more I believe that the majority of any game community should be ignored when it comes to making design decisions. Sure there'll be some good feedback and ideas for blizzard to take in, but most of it is drivel.

Subscription numbers always drop near the end of an expansion as people run out of things to do.

But it seems the drop is a lot larger than most people expected.

WoW has not had a content patch for what, 9 months? Not really surprising at all that they dropped subs.

MoP, the xpac that everyone went "WTF is this?" when it was announced looks really promising in beta now.. Its art,pet battle,raid mechanic,faction system are awesome and there are more. It's quite unexpected.

I was thinking the exact same thing when i saw it. Im a long time WoW player (haven't really played during cata though) but was looking for a new MMO to peak my interest. Pretty sure im going to be back to WoW come MOP.

This isn't exactly true. Subscriptions continued to rise at the end of TBC and remained constant in both Q3 and Q4 of 2010 at the end of the Wrath cycle. Of course, the cataclysmic (:D) losses accumulated since Q1 2011 can be attributed to a plethora of reasons, but the "end of expansion" argument just doesn't match the facts.

I'm not one to jump on the doomsaying bandwagon, so I will spare you that. I just hope that any inferences made by the devs to account for the loss of ~3 million subscribers over the course of an expansion are no longer completely related to excessive difficulty.

Going down from 12million peak in October '11 to 9.1million (pre expansion) August '12 is not a major problem imo. The new expansion will see a minimun of 1million players back, the summer months of WoW are known for the most of the player base (uni students/college students/school kids) take time off the game to go enjoy the summer and then get back into WoW when the school term/semesters start up again.

And anyway even if WoW doesn't get much past 9.1 million subscribers ever again, thats still £80,600,000(@£8.99 a month) $136,409,000 (@$14.99 a month) Euro118,209,000 (@12.99Euro a month)

So im sure if you cant make a profit from that much a month you have a buisness problem >.<
