Re: World of Warcraft down to 9.6 million subs.

That ought to be start be starting again in a few months.

I'm thinking July.

I watched the first 4 seasons on netflix over the past 10 or so days. WTF was I thinking not watching religiously every Sunday...Not sure how I'm going to watch the first half of season 5 in Okinawa since netflix is unavailable without a proxy server.

What will all those programmers do now that they don't have all the trucks full of hookers and blow coming in and not having to stare at the same piece of code for the last ten years, realizing that they now have to do actual work for a change?

You are correct Criticals - we just know where these threads always go.

9.6 is higher than I expected. With all the free trials winding down, I felt some where in the 8milish would be the numbers.

I wish I could high jack that monthly electronic payment.

Criticals, this is the first thread that people jumped to the conclusion that the thread was headed into a "WoW's dying" direction.

All other threads essentially contained it in the OP's post.

Like I said, you're correct you didn't say anything about WoW dying directly. All I'm saying is if you post this exact same thread again, the same thing will happen.

Thank you for supplying WoW's current subscription numbers, I'm sure we all greatly appreciate it.

reply to Gork
See if you can follow me here.

I come to the forums to hear what others are saying about WoW -tips on how to spec, play, macros. I want to hear how they are handling the fights/raids/leveling. Hear their experiences, what they found that worked, didn't work.

I liken this to going to a break room during work, and sitting down with a bunch of people, and participating in the conversations. If people keep bringing up the same info, it gets old and stale and - boring. Yes, it may be new to some people. But when the majority of the people in the room are the ones that keep returning, it is, well - old. I know I am not the only one that would remark - "hey, that's old news" or "been there, done that".

Doesn't mean I intend to stop coming back here, but as a frequent visitor to this room, I can say - come on, it's been done before. What are you doing, man? Let’s move on.

I also compared this to a break out of acne, and the sky falling. Others chose to see the “WoW is dying” portion of my comment, and responded with the same flavor of joking. Maybe someone else will offer a remedy for the acne prone, or insurance on the falling sky. (yep, that was /sarcasm)

Well maybe you then should tell blizzard to stop releasing information on the WoWs subscriber numbers. Its obviously big enough news to make the front page on all of the major MMO/video game websites. I guess not the right kind of news for here. Its like the media should only report information that relates to your interest. Also, if this discussion is not one that you are interested in then why are you here? If the new subscription numbers are "old news" then you must be able to tell me what next quarters numbers will be? Or what the next expansion is for that matter.

The real old news here is your response to new information. Thats the old news.

And how can you say its been done before? It really hasnt been done before. Those had come out about an hour before I posted them. I know, i get it. I posted something negative about world of warcraft. Its blasphemy. They best way to show you do not care is to simply not reply.

Clearying this is all going above your head so I'm going to stop attempting to explain it to you.

No... no, this is not the first time there's been news of WoW's subscriptions going down compared to their all time high, Sorry bro.

Not at all. I disengage for the quality of the forum not for my own sake. However the comment about going over your head still applies.

Ask anyone here - I welcome an argument to a fault and enjoy anyone that can put up a reasonable "discussion".

So, if you want to carry on about how much you grasp why the community is sensitive to these threads, go on.

But even in your current reponse it's clear you don't understand.

Simply put, we're tired of people projecting the death of WoW and they're than immediately silenced by WoW's continued healthy existence. Only to be followed by another Good Mongo ringing the doomsday bell.

Your post followed the same format as others. I've already given you credit that you did not say anything about WoW dying, but I explained why the community is so tired of the topic because that's the direction the thread inevitably goes.

I gave you an easy out, I explained nicely why we react this way and most of this was directed at Gork even.

So if you want to continue, by all means...

inb4popcorn.

The thread goes this way because it was taken this way by people like you. Think about waht you are saying. Its not this thread or any threads like its fault. Its the responders.

The format is posted was by the words of activision blizzard btw. This isnt projecting the death of anything. Its a status update. A matter in fact the people defending wow in this thread are the death projectors.
