Sorry that you're on a shitty server. Mine's doing great, thanks.I've been playing for the last month or so and what was one of the oldest/original and busiest European servers (Terenas) is dead. Out of my guild of varying 50-100 members only two have been online. The AH is dead, zones are only busy with cross server people, even the MoP zones (which don't seem to have been included in the cross server functionality) are dead.
LFR and cross server are the life support for WoW at the moment.
I don't believe for a second they still have 8mill subscribers. I suspect those numbers are massaged massively. Here's a clue - Kotick himself said recently that they expect an even bigger drop off of subscribers in the near future.
Not sure if you know this or not, but RR doesn't have an MVP program. You don't need to hug them blue nuts so tight here, you spineless bootlick.

"They're just putting in vanity items and mounts, they'll never add items you can get in-game while they have a sub"The problem with the charms is it's a very slippery slope.
"I don't want to farm these items that increase my drops.. I'll just buy them"
"I missed my raid this week.. I'll just buy those shoulders"
"Man I really don't want to grind.. I'll just buy level 95"
If that would be true then how come no other MMO has managed to eclipse it by now?No one talks about it, no one plays it, it's become largely irrelevant in the overall gaming scene.
Perhaps because nothing of substance other than Star Wars has been released since WoTLK? EQNext and TESO will be the real test. Wildstar will bomb hard.If that would be true then how come no other MMO has managed to eclipse it by now?
So what's the Next Next Big Thing after TESO craters and EQN is F2P from the start?Perhaps because nothing of substance other than Star Wars has been released since WoTLK? EQNext and TESO will be the real test. Wildstar will bomb hard.
What the fuck is the problem with EQN being f2p from the start? Are you retarded or something?So what's the Next Next Big Thing after TESO craters and EQN is F2P from the start?
You think the age of sub-based MMOs is still with us? That model of business is dying its last grasps, and the problem that every MMO that think it can be sub-based, and faces F2P conversion after 3 months gets the conversion badly done.So what's the Next Next Big Thing after ... EQN is F2P from the start?
I'm sure you are polling your large base of friends and all but log on to any other MMO and then log on to WoW and tell me which one feels largely irrelevant.I don't know anyone who plays wow. I don't know how they can pretend the population hasn't dropped significantly from the social phenomenom it was 3-4 years ago. No one talks about it, no one plays it, it's become largely irrelevant in the overall gaming scene.
