The gullible fanboys really think there are still 10.3 million active subscribers when they only sell 3 million of the latest expansion?

...yeeeea, not likely.

Blizzard would also be breaking the law by releasing false information to investors. 

Even if your link was true, 3 million would still make it the most played MMO on the market wouldn't it?

 

Yea, and I'm sure you think the "law" is pristine and perfect in the United States. /sarcasm

But it isn't that lawless either where companies openly lie to its investors and expect to get away with it.

That 4.7 million is still just one month of sales. It hardly equals the total sales of the expansion.

... you really think they sold 5.6 million more copies since then?

...

...

The point is that they DON'T have 10.3 million ACTIVE subscribers. What their definition of "subscription" most likely differs than what it SHOULD be.

Where is your proof of that?

If what they say about their profits is true, it doesn't even matter.

im not a blizzard fan

but blizzard spells out what sub means better than any other company

World of Warcraft’s 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.

lol I already droped my SWtor sub. Its a Single Player game with no varation once you play 1 toon on ether side you have seen 90%of its content replayablity is the worst I have seen in any game. You will see the numbers are going to start droping for Swtor once peep can get out of there subs.

Dont matter to me. I could only handle one hour of this game before i quit.  There is better out there.

Someone should fix the title to:

"Blizzards WoW hit a historical reported revenue low, down below even 2007 revenues." or "Blizzard earned less from WoWs regular sales at the end of 2011, than it did in 2007 with just 8 Million player."

"Release of Portugese client failed to boost WoW playernumbers above previous quarter"

"Release of the long hyped Deathwing content failed to reboost WoW playernumbers, above previous quarter"

"Was Koticks claim of WoW being unnaffected by SWToR just hot air?"

Profits soared for all of Activision Blizzard, not exclusively those of WoW, they probably rather had to compensate for WoW.

If you sign up for the Annual pass, you are essentially signing a contract. If you fail to honour that contract, you are effectively defaulting on your financial obligations. I am pretty sure that Blizzard will not bother to report this but if they did this will be considered a credit default which as I hope you all know will reflect badly on your credit rating.

regarding annual pass, commentary at joystiq

http://wow.joystiq.com/2011/11/11/what-happens-if-a-subscriber-breaks-the-wow-annu/

there is less to the WoW Annual Pass than you think. You aren't signing a contract that will get Blizzard to knock down your door if you don't pay your WoW subscription that month. In fact, there really isn't anything terribly binding here at all.

Everything you are committing to results in Blizzard granting you a license to use a product or service and nothing more.

That promise is binding in the sense that Blizzard has sole rights over the Diablo 3 and Tyrael's Charger licenses and can revoke them at any time if you don't pay, so it is in your interest as a paying customer who wants to keep using those licenses to pay up.

i thought all the blizzard haters said they were losing millions of people..hahaha
