Can we just have the Wrath of the Lich King Raiding Scheme?

The thing is, though, what you might be looking at as stagnation might actually just be the hypothetical limit of the player base. The game was so popular that literally everyone had heard of it. They might be the only game in history to have come close to really getting every possible player that would ever be interested in playing the game within the regions of its release.

Maybe. But I think that it's unlikely to be the case. The game had a steady increase up until WoTLK. If they had hit or nearly hit the limit, I think the increase would have been a lot slower before subs stagnated.

Decline would have been a better word than stagnation. So yes, it stagnated during a good part of Wrath and peaked at 12 Millions. I still have no ideas where you're getting your data about them losing their subs 2 months in.

And I only said they lost those extras that joined for WoTLK.
