WoW Drops More Subs [Aug 04, 2011, 12:18 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Develop notes that the latest figures supplied by Activision Blizzard shows World of Warcraft has lost another 300,000 subscribers, saying the MMORPG now has about 11.1 million subscribers. They have Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime's comments on how they plan to reverse this trend:
"As our players have become more experienced playing World of Warcraft over many years, they have become much better and much faster at consuming content," he recently said.
"And so I think with Cataclysm they were able to consume the content faster than with previous expansions, but that's why we're working on developing more content."
Yesterday, Morhaime made clear Blizzard’s response to this trend. The company pledged to flood the game with new content as a matter of urgency.

Won't die overnight - but it sure won't last the next 10 years.
EQ is still around so I am sure WoW will be. But yes that falls under your "being around" clause. I just feel the game needs massive changes to draw people like me who have quit back. I am not even sure I know what those are, but atm I feel zero desire to return and I haven't been playing since StarCraft 2 came out.
