Blizzard on Conan's Impact

[Aug 01, 2008, 12:00 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Edge Online quotes Blizzard president Mike Morhaime during yesterday's Activision Blizzard earnings call saying that the launch of Age of Conan cost them some subscribers, but his estimate is about 40% of them have returned to World of Warcraft. They also quote him as saying that they expect more former players to return when the Wrath of the Lich King expansion launches later this year.

I think it's going to take an amazing game to pull any significant number of people away from wow And that amazing game certainly isn't AoC. I tried it for a little bit, raced to about level 48 or something, but it got very boring, very quickly. Being a melee class and getting enjoyment from doing fatalities can only last so long, and there's quite a lack of content at the mid-to-high level range. Not that I went back to WoW though. I haven't played that in months. Truth be told I'm kinda sick of MMO's all up, I'd rather just play Rock Band
