    Subscriber Definition: World of Warcraft subscribers include individuals who have paid a subscription fee or have 

    an active prepaid card to play World of Warcraft, as well as those who have purchased the game and are within their 

    free month of access. Internet Game Room players who have accessed the game over the last thirty days are also 

    counted as subscribers. The above definition excludes all players under free promotional subscriptions, expired or 

    cancelled subscriptions, and expired prepaid cards. Subscribers in licensees' territories are defined along the same 

    rules

    Active in the last 30 days, which is the best any company has ever been able to provide.

    Oh, and luckily? Your doubt plays no role in this matter.

     

    P.S.: I doubt this is in anticipation of WoD, which is pretty far off. It's far more likely it's due to further let downs in this market space.

    What is that... like 200k more than last quarter? I guess that Draenor news helped them out quite a bit.

    Its a mmorpg forum and this involves an mmorpg?

    I was considering resubscribing myself. So I guess others have that in mind as well and went ahead!

    I probably will. I kinda miss WoW :)

    I wouldn't be surprised if the new ex pack they're working on brings a lot of people back to wow. There still isn't anything as good if wow is what you're really looking for.

    how many are from US and how many from EU of that 7.8M?
  • HorusraHorusra Member EpicPosts: 4,411
    Love how people are quick to jump on the belief bandwagon when the number goes down, but when it goes up some they now say all the numbers are fake.

    I'm sure someone will claim:

     

    100K US

    100K EU

    7.6M Asia who pay 3 cents and are all gold farmers

    It is normal to have some spike in sub numbers due to a new expansion, it also happened to Cataclysm and MoP, but right after that there will be another major loss.
  • perran7691perran7691 Member UncommonPosts: 34

    7.8 million but how many are Chinese? Their subscription model is very different than EU and NA, by the day rather than month.

    Hes wants to flag wave in the face of forum trolls, who proclam how WoW is dying / terrible and if it would release today would insta fail (looks at post history), like yourself who when presented with facts then try to back pedal / damage control with passive aggressive one liners & emoticons.

    LOL.

    I stopped playing WoW long ago, but it's nice to see a sub game actually gaining subs in these dark times. Very interesting news, and thanks for sharing OP.

    Good for them. I was planning on coming back to WoW in preparation for Warlords but I'm still enjoying my time with ARR. Once my  interest wanes I'll be heading back to see how things are panning out in Azeroth.

    I think what helped was during Xmas they offered WoW and all expansions except MoP for 4.99.
  • LachyFTWLachyFTW Member UncommonPosts: 181
    I will go back when they announce the release date for the new expansion.

    Well, by using my WoW fan logic I can figure that since all the losses were from China where it "doesn't matter",   all the returning subs are definitely in NA.
