Hehehe, isn't WoW always Dying?
Can we not ask a little common sense here. Let's say, worse case scenario that WoW were to loose 50% of it's population, that's what? 4million player worldwide.... Whoa yeah, soooooooooooo DEAD !!!
Will subscriptions dip down eventualy, OF COURSE THEY WILL. Dear god at what point did you people start to see that as dead? If we were to go by what you people think of as dead EQ2 would have a foot in the ground about 1.5 years ago and Vanguard would be buried and having it's tombstone engraved.
WoW will continue to be a gigantic success, just as it should be and we should all be damned thankfull it is. More investors have had more interest in MMO Project because of it's success, it's put the genre truely on the mass market. Let's not forget it's braught so many gamers to the genre that will eventually go to other games and help populate outwards.
Oh and right... let's not forget the people Blizzard employs and the games they'll be able to produce thanks their financial success with WoW.
Yeah real smart, keep hoping for the Death of World of Warcraft and I'll keep on hoping it keeps doing as well as it deserves. Which is a lot.
Important Information regarding Posting and You
I just told myself that WoW is dying. For someone who thinks that WoW isn't dying, you sure do take offense to someone bashing it. And why aren't you playing WoW right now? Since it's the holy grail of MMOs.

wow could lose 90% of its player base and it would still have the largest amount of subs
plus who gives a poop people leave ANY online game they are replaced by fresh noobs, daoc,eq,eq2,uo,swg all these games had the same stupid posts by real life noobs years ago and yet they are still going.
if you are bored of a game move on play a new one or do what ever no one gives a rats ass if you are bored or think a game is dieing
I used to play, had a lot of fun, burned out (like I do on every game), and moved on.....
Trolls should do the same....

Well ... AoC and WAR might eventually overtake WoW... I doubt LOTRO will though.

So using your mathematical assumptions:
100 players/8500000x100=0.0012% of WoW total player base quit.
These threads are so funny....
WoW isn't dying at all, and I wouldn't take seriously anyone who spells "DIEING" - anyway you're just wrong.
BTW: I really agree with what you said about the expansion, it is truely horrible.
World of Warcraft is a proof that MMORPG quality should affect schedule/budget and not the other way around.

See you in-game, with like seven million other folks......
I'm pretty glad I canceled my subscription.
The press release was before TBC came out. oh and you think, despite the fact that TBC received great scores everywhere, that people suddenly left in mass amounts? yeah, just keep telling yourself that. besides, Blizzard has so many subscribers, it will outlive all mmorpg's released in 2 years from now.
I just told myself that WoW is dying. For someone who thinks that WoW isn't dying, you sure do take offense to someone bashing it. And why aren't you playing WoW right now? Since it's the holy grail of MMOs.offense? So because I defend my standpoint, I'm suddenly offended? please, be realistic..
Ahh, the old "Why aren't you playing [insert game here] right now" trump card. I'll explain it to you, nobody plays his or her mmorpg 24/7. thats why.
Ummm, how do we know its 8.5 million subscribers? Did someone count them all? How do we know its not 8.499 or 8.498

Calm down my good man, WOW is not dying in fact it could lose half it's subscriptions and still be on top.
Now will WOW loose some subscriptions with upcoming releases certainly, but rumors of it's demise are quite premature.

You're always crying when someone bashes WoW. Is that realistic enough? I was talking about you sig, and you spend mroe time defending it, then playing it.

I bet WoW will be around longer than Diablo 2, which is still very much alive after 7 years
Let say only 2 million buy an expansion in the first week:
2,000,000 x 29.99 (not including special editions, bastards.)
Approx $59980000 not including marketing+distribution etc.
now 12.99 x lets say roughly 7 million
Approx. $90930000
(this raw income, and trust me there's probably a lot more factors I didn't add on to this amount it's probably higher so forgive me.)
so in one month they pulled a crap load of money, add the two together, my brain hurts to much to do anymore math.
Overall, sorry if I'm wrong but I completely agree with you, they pull more in a month than I think most MMO's will make till they shut down. Even if they lose a lot of subscriptions. It will not phase blizzard.
ahem.... 8.5 million dont think so.
Are you guys even aware of the tourneys going on in WSVG in America/China this summer? WoW is becoming a competitive game.... lol. 3v3 tourneys for over 10,000 USA DOLLARS. The game is only getting stronger.... A lot of professionals in esports are switching to the game actually to make money. Pandemic recently won the 3v3 tourney in China..... NOT DYING
