Non mais jvous le dit ils vont comprendre au bout d' un moment xD

WoW Lost 600k Subscribers, down to 11.4M
Activision Blizzard's earning call was today and we learned, among other things, that the WoW playerbase is down to 11.4M players. That's 5% less than before the expansion and it seems that players went through the Cataclysm content faster than expected.

Blizzard also promised faster release of new content and expansions during the call.

During today's Activision Blizzard earnings call, World of Warcraft and its expansion Cataclysm were two very hot topics. Listeners asked a number of questions related to the game, more than any other title or franchise in the publisher's stable.

Of note, World of Warcraft's subscriber base has reached pre-Cataclysm levels, according to Mike Morhaime, CEO of Blizzard Entertainment. He then later stated an actual number, with subscriptions at the end of March clocking in at right around 11.4 million.

That's down by about 5% from the announced 12 million mark late last year. Interestingly enough, that was right before Cataclysm released. In fact, it's actually lower than the milestone reached in 2008 with the release of Wrath of the Lich King.

But one important thing to point out, and Mr. Morhaime touched on this as well, is that World of Warcraft's subscriber base does not change linearly. It fluctuates based on content consumption, which players seem to be doing a whole lot of -- at a more rapid pace -- with Cataclysm. "Subscriber levels have decreased faster than previous expansions," he said.

Surprising? Not really. We have to remember that when these numbers were pulled, Cataclysm was in a bit of a lull. The expansion had been out for close to four months, and most of its content had been consumed by a large percentage of the player base -- aside from heroic raids.






En gros, pour ceux qui parlent pas l' anglais, Wow a perdu 600 mille abonnements et donc ils redécendent à 11.4 millions d' abonnés a wow au lieu de 12 millions .
D' aprés MMo, Blizzard considère que cette baisse est normale et que l' on à pu appercevoir une baisse similaire en 2008. Selon eux, elle s' explique par le temps de développement
trop important de cataclysm , ce qui à frustré les joueurs restant pendant 1an+ sur le stade ICC.
Blizzard considère que, étant un début d' extension il est normal que le nombre de joueur baisse.


Petite remarque Yokoesque de fin : Il s' avère que durant la première partie de Wotlk WoW disposait de plus de 13 millions de joueurs .
