>World of Warcraft
more like Village of Warcraft
More like World of Still Bringing in Almost a Billion Dollars of Revenue in Every Year Craft.
>>333143631
I don't think a game with ~100k active subs is bringing in a billion dollars per year.
more like we shill overwatch now
>>333143756
Subs are not just the only income, anon.
>>333143756
You realize there's more then 100k US subs right? or are you just jaded?
>>333143495
>BUT WOW STILL HAS BIGGEST MMORPG PLAYER BASE!!!!!!!1 LOOK AT THE GRAPHS FROM 2011!!!!
>>333143631
>More like I spent most my adult life in this game and accomplished nothing outside of it and refuse to accept the fact it's fucking dead Craft.
>>333143801
100k x $15 x 12 = $18 million
you think the cash shop is pulling in the remainder of a billion fucking dollars?

It made 800M+ in revenue last year total. 4th highest grossing game on PC for that year. Shit still prints money.
>>333143801
>>333143826
Do the math you retarded fucks. There's no way World of Warcraft is netting1bn a year.
lel this is why they stopped publicly reporting active subs
>>333143932
Blizzard earns 881 millions each year.

no wonders, you're not supposed to make your autism leak outside 4chan, anon
>>333144002
That's still less than a billion, and I guarantee you it'll make much less this year and even less in years to come.
the old content is okay, would not recommend doing anything whatsoever with the current "content", though.
imo game is more or less dead until legion, it's been like, what, ten months since any new content, and no more until legion - if they fuck legion up too it's quite probably unrecoverable.
as for actually playing it, probably just avoid mmo's in general because they're all shitty or dead or shitty and dead.
>>333144197
>almost
>STILL LESS HURR DURR HURR AUAHAHAHA I WIN I WIN WIN AHRHGHURHAUHAU AUHAAA STILL LESSSS
>>333143973
Their subs dropped by 3 million in 2015 IIRC and their revenue still went up 50%. Cash shop just prints money.
>>333144197
They made a billion+ in 2013 and 2014 so that shit is not bad at all. Still extremely popular and they have no reason to stop making content for it.
From 2004 to 2012 WoW made over 10 billion dollars, so that puts WoW at at least 13 billion dollars in revenue so far.
>>333144015
Sure it is. The idiots left playing are paying for the ones that left, plus they managed to somehow make their own goldfarmers to get gold for the token buyers.
>reskinned shop mounts
>transfers
>faction/race changes
Back when i was still playing early in january i saw one guy race change from dwarf to draenei to nightelf to human to draenei and back to dward in the span of two weeks.
That's 100$ right there, 6 months of subscription. And these poor impulse control idiots are everywhere.
The game may be shit and it's quality going down, but their hand rubbing magic quality is going up UP UP.
>>333144428
>50%
Should be 50% year over year.
World of Warcraft has been the perfect quarantine zone for so many years. Just the fucking thought of it ending depresses me. To think these social outcasts will start looking for a new home to migrate to is chilling. I hope to fuck WoW stays up forever. We don't need the toxic cretins in any other games.
>>333144540
They all moved to LoL and DOTA2 already.
>>333144479

That's a lie, you can't racechange more than once every 90 days.
Nice try, faggot.
>>333144428
>so that puts WoW at at least 13 billion dollars in revenue so far.
Yeah because it costs 0 dollars to maintain servers, hire and play employees etc etc
All revenue.
>>333143495
>haha look at how dead this mmo is
you don't know how sad a dead mmo looks
>>333143495
That's nothing new, though. Most servers are ghost towns and have been for years. Blizzard just doesn't want to deal with perceived bad PR that comes from server merger so they're trying shit like cross-realm zones, dungeons, PvP, etc to try and fix it.
>>333144846
i played Warhammer right till the end
i know
>>333144753
>>333144846
Utterly dead games in general are really sad.
Opening up a server browser and seeing like, 3-5 games or even less globally is depressing.
>>333144903
Warhammer Online was amazing when it worked as intended. Shame that was only about 10% of its lifespan. Thank fuck that private server is actually kicking off rather well it seems.

>cap was 150 players less than a year ago.
>>333144753
how dense are you, faggot?
I don't even care about this shitty franchise, but I know that this shit, to this day, is still a money making machine.
That's the problem with it to begin with, they don't have to do shit since people will always give em enough money. As such, it's like a monopoly.
We will only see WoW being great again once it starts bringing shit for money.

>>333145129
WoW will never be great again because the people that made it great left half a decade ago.
>>333145235
Don't do that to me ;_;
>>333145129
Blizzard won't let WoW die off any time soon because they have nothing to replace it with. If Titan had fully materialized and we didn't have Overwatch I could see them pushing to end it in a few years but looks like Legion is doing everything it can to give the game a "fresh" new start of sorts by killing off every character off they can get away with.
All we're missing now are the final faggots

It's 11 AM in the morning on a Monday. A grand majority are at work or school.
>>333143495
Servers capacity just got upgraded in preparation for legion. I know subs have dropped to extreme lows but the game is a lot more alive than realm selection leads you to believe.
>>333144607
You are clinically retarded, you can race change once every 3 days, it fucking says so on the official faq. Atleast look things up before spouting bullshit.
>>333143631
Sorry to burst your bubble, mate, but Hearthshit's Blizzard's cash cow now. Why bother going into extreme lengths to keep this decade-old patchwork game alive when you can just make pull a dozen cards out of your ass every five months or so and rake in millions?
>>333144607
Race change has a 3 day cooldown.
>>333145609
Oh, someone is mad?
>>333145354
Every expansion is doing everything it can to give the game a "fresh" new start.
and each one of them brings in a couple hundreds of thousands of new subscribers/re subscribers and then it ends up being dead again.
>>333145627
Still half the revenue of WoW for now, profit margins are no doubt higher.
I wonder how blizzard feels about letting all that DOTA money just slip by between their fingers though.
>>333145818
Well he did just BTFO you.
>>333143495
They increased the capacity of the servers today, I don't know why they did it since the game is and still will be losing subs at least until Legion comes out.
Or do blind blizzard haters actually believe the game lost half it's playerbase in 1 day
>>333145980
The movie will bring in a lot of new players.
>>333145818
>spout bullshit

>>333146101
Lots of new 12 year old fuckboys
Hurray
Every few months I start missing it and try playing again. After a few weeks I remember why I quit. Then I try finding a private server so I can play like I did "when WoW was still good" but the playerbase on private servers is just as bad or worse than on retail. I should just let it go but I'm retarded so it's hard.

>>333145818
embarrassing.
>>333146354
lol, went crazy
>>333146354
Is there any other company who have become so out of touch with their fanbase as Blizzard?
>>333146235
Honestly I hope the movie will bring in a bunch of normal guys who can take it easy, normal people made the bulk of wow back in the day and I am tired of all these "hurry hurry gotta go fast" autists who almost the only players left. You can't wipe anymore, people will leave because they don't have the patience.
I get that no one wants to lose but fuck, how can they enjoy the game if they want to breeze through everything?
>>333146360
dicc, boipussy, etc, etc
>>333146354
>>333146504
that isn't what fuckboy means now. it's nigger speak for an insult that normies use.
>>333146264
I know this feeling, except its purely with privateroleplayingservers.
There just isn't much better out there.

hearthstone is literally a boardgame in the warcraft universe
everything that happens in it is hypothetical
>>333146631
>>333146724
Alright autismo's lemme break it down for you.The light can be wielded by anyone. Good or evil. You just need to have faith in it. Its how Forsaken priests work despite being utter monstrosities of life.
>>333143495
They just released a patch that increased the amount of players per server.
>>333146892
Thanks redshirt guy, i can always count on you.
>>333146932
that's a good start since all the other patches seem to be decreasing it
>>333146892
But all Forsaken priests are canonically shadow, right?
>>333146724
hearthstone is non-canon.
>>333143495
>not peak times
?????????
>>333147103
there are forsaken holy priests in lore
however, wielding the light causes them intense pain and shortens their lifespan because it weakens the necromantic powers that give them 'life'
>fucking 5am
>also just increased max server capacity
I mean I'm not saying the game ain't dead.
>>333146724
look kid, I don't play your autism games but even i know that Fartstone is a card game in the world of warcraft and not an extension of the lore
>>333144753
Yes faggot, that's wat revenue is. The word you're looking for is profit.
>>333146457
so what? they just use gambling elements to further the players addiction just like casinos in vegas. works out great for them.
>>333143495
Theres just too many goddamn realms. I know they wont do it since it'd be like saying "our game is dead" but they need condense them all down to like 5 or 6.
>>333146464
they want to hurry through shit because it isn´t remotely hard to do so since Lich King.

Don't you have to honestly believe you're doing good, and have faith in order to wield the light? It explains how Scarlet Crusade and Arthas were able to use it despite them betraying and murdering innocents.
>>333147830
Caverns of Time.
Still feel like subbing for a month, just to level some characters and collect some transmog sets.
It's like other Anon said, WoW is just a comfy game to revisit ervery now and then. It's the only MMO that still kindles my 12-year old feeling like it used to,
>>333147910

>>333147972
WoW and Runescape 07 do it for me. WoW less so because all my guild members are dead, normies, playing different games or on different servers each now. a constant /g/ kept the game alive for me
>>333147936
You are thinking of Paladins.
>>333146892
>Forsaken
>Utter monstrosities in life
Majority of them were not actually. They just ended up being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
>>333148207
I don't see the difference. Anyone that uses the holy light needs to believe they're on the side of good even if they aren't in most other societies.
>>333146848
The charm wasn't everlasting for me. Everything started to suck after they casualized/simplified everything. I miss building my warlock's talent tree to how I played and kicking ass.
>>333148608
They simply have to believe in the light and have faith that it will guide them. I'm not entirely sure but I imagine the Scarlet Crusade were being influenced by demons before wrath and thought the light guided them.
>>333143631
Every time anyone brings up WoWs decaying health the denial faggot needs to mention that the game is still profitable. It doesn't matter yet they cling to this one fact, put their fingers in their ears and chant "everything is fine".
They're making money right now, but even while making money they could easily go F2P if it means they'd make more money than they are currently. They of course won't do that unless legions numbers deflate down to what the current downward curve is predicting.
They attach their own being to blizzard, they have been absorbed into blizzard as a drone. They honestly feel threatened by the thought of the company being in danger. They feel better when they state that their master company is still profiting.
The state of this game is alarming and negative. The downward curve of subs is alarming and there is nothing you can say that will make that wrong. Thankfully for you legion looks pretty good and may repair the curve to be more stable.
>>333148193
I wasn't ever part of a guild that I actually cared about. Every now and then I just want to run around in the world.

What made WoW great was friends and the problem with most of you fags is that you don't have any.
Maybe in the old days when people were more social you got a similar experience and that's what you yearn for now.
>>333149069
this. there's no chance of me playing with my friends now due to all of their situations so that's why I'll never get back into WoW.
