Regardless of the source, there's an exodus of players happening from WoW to other games. As to what the accurate numbers of the situation are...only Blizzard and SE (and other companies) knows what they are losing and/or bringing in.

Tends to happen with MMO content droughts.

And games that actively seem to punish players everywhere they turn just for playing.

Start by posting what MMO-Population's equation for total active players is.

see here, 10 chars

The misleading part about the website is that they list literal dead game without servers having active players unless the supposed 13k active Wildstar players managed to bootleg a server somehow.

Good site btw.

This games population peaked at around 1.4 million some time after SHB launch, but averages a population ranging from 800k-1mil active subs.

Their supposed "daily active players" is well over double the active player count in Lucky Bancho's latest census.

Even if he wants to argue LuckyBancho numbers -- he would have to prove that 1.5 million players are either free-to-play, sub level-60, or bought boosts and havent touched them since; because those are LuckyBancho's main areas where they do not count.

While I do not think much about the claims made in this thread, I don't think it's fair to disqualify free-to-play players after the 5.3 update as they are playing the entire base game and its first expansion. They are definitely part of the community, in roulettes and other contents even with the existing restrictions.
