300,000 more subscriptions lost this quarter? 1.6 million since Cata launch? WoW dying?
Yes, yes and yes...
My BC era realm is a deadzone late night/early morning. There used to be enough Australians and New Zealanders around to pug a 10 man at 4 in the morning. We also used to have a lot more accomplished raiding guilds in Wrath. Lower subs + serious/hardcore players constantly xfering and converging on the same half dozen realms leaves their previous home servers neglected and vacant in regard to the voids they filled.
The biggest indicator for me tho is good ol channel 2, Trade chat. I've been playing consistently for years and at all hours of the day and night and I've never seen so much time go by without a peep out of trade like it is now. It really illustrates low population and inactivity imo. I can't recall trade being 'silent' for more than a couple mins at a time at any hour before Cata.
