    It was bound to get old sooner or later.

    Yeah, lets see what the holiday season brings - I'm sure that number wont be so bad in the end.
    The whole thing is just too massive to have such a drastic decline over a longer period.

    Numbers will go up when next expansion hits but it's past its prime for sure.

    yea agreed, was a really really awesome game, Im just upset with the changes they made to the characters in cataclysm. All of my favourite chars were changed heavily and i did not enjoy the shortened talent trees compared to wotlk, the raids and difficulty was nice but the PVP went backwards in my opinion and thats what i enjoyed the most.

    Perhaps now the world will slowly start to move out of the recession?

    Well, that's also part of the story not being told...

    A whole large portion of deserters are leaving BECAUSE of the upcoming expansion.
    On a personal experience only - My EVE corp has grown by 25 in the last 2 months, since the announce at Blizzcon. More incoming.

    So?!
    Well, they're all coming over from WoW. My guildmates.
    Why? They're pissed. And oh boy, are they...

    Thing is, when Cataclysm was announced; hardcore fans were pissed off. Whuh? But why?
    Well, we were expecting an Emeral Dream expansion! At that Blizzcon (Cataclysm) the question came up.

    Q: "What happened to Emeral Dream?!"
    A: "The next expansion will be Emerald Dream, we promise."

    Result: ROFLTROLOLOLOL! FUCK YOU! EAT PANDA!

    Yeah.
    People are pissed.
    Badly.

    That's par for the course for just about every change ever made to WoW or any other MMO with a strong competitive component. Not really a good indicator for the mood of the community. Personally I just think it's an old game and people are getting tired of it now, sure they have been changes but the basic gameplay is still the same. Some of the changes have pushed people away but lets be honest here WoW still has a huge population especially given its age.

    Imho the only real and proper wow was the initial package without the expansions, the 1st one was cool, but from there it just went to shit-hole.

    Skyrim is probably to blame.
