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. | ||

The Pokemon&Panda Expansion will be the final blow and hopefully the death of WoW. User was banned for this post. | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. Source: http://users.telenet.be/mmodata/Charts/Subs-1.png 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. | ||

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 >.< | ||
