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.
300,001 subs lost. I just cancelled mine about 10 minutes ago. Had a hard drive crash and I just couldn't be arsed reinstalling 32gb of WoW to stand around chatting to a couple of folk. The Molten Front really killed it for me though, it's obvious that they've not got a single clue about non-raid content. Grinding the same dailies for a month to earn tokens to unlock more dailies to earn more tokens to unlock vendors to buy raid gear when I don't raid? Really, sod that, and I'd put money on any new content being either raids, recycled dungeons or more dailies with all imagination surgically removed.
