These include the china subs too, don't they? Like 70% of them
Theres no way theres 7m players. Retail feels incredibly dead.
Started playing Wow in 2005. Just gave it up about 8 months ago. Can honestly I miss the friends I made more then actually playing the game. Might come back if things are changing. It was and can still be a great game with lots of reworking.
they're basically doing the same thing that Xbox does.. they just want to just make themselves look good.
I couldn't careless. it's all bs unless a company is using a nonprofit 3rd party for metrics.
The only thing that will fix wow in your boy bald man gold’s eyes is classic wow. Like i get people want classic but that’s not saving the game and that’s more than clear
idk shit about the lore i havnt played enough but assuming the game goes up to mop (cata included) with that statement and they get their own servers and legion and everything after gets its own servers instead of making the massive mistake of replacing wrath like a bunch of morons im totally down for that.
So i was thinking of returning to play casually, but are addons really banned? Loved dmg meters and stuff
Honestly, I think they need to split subs. Do like a $12 or $15 retail sub, and a separate $8 or $10 classic/SoD sub.
I’ve been subbed near nonstop to WoW since classic wrath launch, I only play SoD now. I haven’t cared for retail since BFA, and I couldn’t care less for plunder heroes of the storm
I don’t mind paying for classic/SoD/hardcore whatever – thats WoW to me.
I am completely alienated from retail WoW, I do not care about war within. At all.
MMORPG不在人口上造假，怎麽活呢，亞洲服務器有大量的中國機器人。
Look how slow the graph drops post Dragonflight launch compared to every other expansion, just looking prior to the blizzcon/SoD spike. Goes to show they made some very good player retention decisions, which will be good in the long run. The initial peak being low doesn't bother me much because It's understandable considering peoples sentiment with WoW at the time.
If they want to make everyone playing the same stuff they should just do a real remake of classic, tbc, wotlk etc but on a totally new engine, new good looking graphics but same gameplay. And then go a new way after those 3. New storylines or something.
Didn't like the Dragonflight cinematic, I liked the War Within cinematic a lot! BUT it would do nothing for anyone who hasn't played WoW, that cinematic will not bring new players to the game. I'd imagine they'll have another cinematic before launch (or maybe that's hopium).
The gnomes invented a shrink ray and accidentally shrunk the player base.
I still don’t understand how wow expansions work, like “people are raiding in this specific expansion”
I played ffxiv where the whole game is just always available and seen as a whole for people who have finished the latest expansion
mythic plus is not fun, i dont like waiting around queing up to do a dungeon i do not want to do for score or gear only to get denied for almost 2 hours bcs of very specific comp or midmaxing on everything. coming home to this from a stressful day of work has made me log off for the night for almost an entire week. i don't even feel like playing. god forbid you do something on an alt you either take super shitty ppl and carry your own key or you don't get invited bcs of your alt io score. and no matter what anyone saying…bro you can only run the same dungeons even for a season so many times before its just plain boring. i get my io achievements and never go back in there unless my guild requires it to raid and even then i do the bare minimum bcs of how grindy you are(depending on heroic, mythic, normal raids) nothing is an upgrade by a lot gear wise for weeks so fuck it ya know
Money loundering 101
I'd love to see Asmond react to Rav's WOW series
Mythic + will never be as fun or as engaging as Savage and Ultimate raiding in Final Fantasy XIV.
Shadowlands they should have let the Jailer win.
I seriously feel that as AI rises, that the reporting metrics of publicly traded companies are less and less believable. I understand it's a crime to falsify (like that stops them), but seriously there is constantly messaging of most game sales, most played, highest concurrent steam players, blah blah blah. Take Palworld for instance, a fun game for sure with tons of hype for various reason from scandal to AI development. You're telling me a that lets a computer do the work, wouldn't also let a computer generate hype, or player bots, or live viewership to drive sales? Okay…
its sad to see pvp in such a sorry state, ik its a pve foremost game, but the pvp community is/was arguably the most passionate and also the most entertaining, even max admitted this on his podcast. if you're a pve'er theres maybe some hope the game will get better for you, but honestly wow is dead and its time to move on lol
Doesn't really matter what they do at this point. After the pandas, fox people, gay dragons, and wokified storylines, I'm just not interested in WoW any more.
Well i think 7 mil might actually be a good number. BUT!!! more then half those players are classic only andy's
Sexual harassment blizz employees bad but ok for a president Trump? stop kidding yourself! its not ok !!!!
First step to holding yourself accountable is admitting you're wrong. Good job.
classic vs tbc is not even comparable. It's fractional who stayed for tbc
They’re going to force all the SOD players into the cata classic realm after the season ends. They’re going to repeat a mistake made over a decade ago
This chart changed my life
Why doesnt Blizzard hire Asmon as a consultant? seems like no brainer.
MoP was so crap. Just a Chinese sell out.
Time spent grew Y/Y lol can you read?
If they say classic is carrying WOW then that could further impact their retail community. Doubt they say ever again unless Gamepass happens and the numbers explode.
dragonflight the most fun ive had since legion.. wow are doing things right for once
What they need to do is assure aid players that the season characters will have an active server to play on after the season ends. That has to be priority. If you spurn those players the numbers will plummet
WoW needs the level of casual content that FF has. Logging in just to kill bosses for years on end is pretty dull at this point. Let me have a house or something jesus
If not for covid, because of lockdown in a lot of places and businesses closing, the subs would have been even worse, even when factoring in how bad the expansion was and the lawsuit. Covid likely "saved" subscribers from unsubbing.
8:29, the problem with the Jailer is even in the name itself. Someone who is jailed is not the person who is putting them IN said jail. Jailer does not equal inmate. His whole presence is just absolutely fucking stupid.
Totally agree that TWW cinematic is the by far the worst of all the intro cinematics. DF was mid for me. Left me feeling neutral. TWW actively killed my excitement and made me want to NOT try out the xpac. Every other cinematic besides those two have gotten me very excited and hyped to try out the xpacs
I play all versions of the game so I sub for 3 games
legion was HUGE for selling runs etc ty wow token
satan released a popularity poll
People will buy anything, really doesn't matter how garbage or shitty it is in reality.
36:55 This summary is about hours played, not subscriptions, so what it sounds like they're saying is that more hours were played by WoW's players during Legion than any of the prior expansions.
It doesn't necessarily mean that they made more money from Legion, or that there were even more subscribers for Legion, it could just mean that the subscribers that Legion did have put in enough hours to push the total hours played on Legion above the total hours played during the previous expansions. This could be achieved in several ways, one way being that they did have a lot more subscribers during Legion that all played the game enough hours, or another being that they had fewer subscribers but the majority of the subscribers they had were players that put in the majority of their day into the game, sleeping, eating, and going to the bathroom being the possible only periods of the day that were spent away from the game.
This graph is useless. If you tried to present this in any formal data context you’d be laughed out of the room. Unlabeled y-axis, lacking all context, and Bellular’s math is not to be trusted here. Also, fake graphs shared at trade expos should be taken with a grain of salt.
Look. I know a lot of people playing wow. About 25 in he guild, + 15 friend. They is actually just 3 of them still playing it. 1 harcore – 1lich king – 1mm+. That's it : 3/40.
When I logged in retail, late december, it feels empty. Valdraken was empty.
Hardcore : empty, stormwind empty.
SoD : People, but not as many as at launch.
So I seriously doubt all this numbers. Raiding numbers were so low at 1 point in retail, and we felt it as a guild when looking for pick ups. WoW is now known for is unfriendly experience for new players. Pexing as a new player is boring. You don't get attached to the Lore. System Mechanics are way to unfriendly at max level, from crafting, to reputation. Talents, flying talents, too many currencies, addons, pace, lack of understanding from players.
So experienced players don"t play anymore, and new players are not retained, but subscription number goes up ? Or is this just the 6 months / 1 year's sub gifted, that are here, paying without playing ?
