Originally posted by Robokapp It doesn't matter if the decline is deccelerating or steady. What matters is that there is a decline already (not even 1 month after launch). Successful MMOs usually GROW in numbers for the first few years, then they peak and then they start losing players.
BTW It's very noticable when doing DEs in level 20-60 zones nowadays. I see myself skipping most of the group events (because I can't find other people) which never happened when I got my first char to 80. |

Originally posted by Eir_S This made me lol. Yes, I think wow has its share of minors, but GW2 is so obviously aimed at a 10-18 audience. How can you not see this? |

Originally posted by krakra70 I don't dissagree. You are correct.
form what I see, the game will have a slower death than the latest new releases however. perhaps the payment model is at work here?

Originally posted by krakra70 stil have not answered the question. WoW had right at 49K players on Aug 26 2 days before GW2 release, yesterday it had 21K,. SWToR, LoTRO. and Aion are all also pretty much at the same pont they were at GW2's release. If people are abandoning GW2 in droves as you are claiming where are they going ? WoW lost almost 60% of it's XFire numbers with GW2's release and they don't seem to be going back I miss DAoC

Originally posted by Jimmydean so what is your prediction for September 25th? 40K ? 50K? And where will they be on November 25th? Do you honestly think 5 levels and a panda race going to get WoW back up into the 100's like it was a year or so back? WoW has been steadily losing numbers for a long time before GW2's release. My guess is people are tired of the endless grind, time will tell of course
No doubt WoW wil get a bump on the 25th, just like GW2's first weekend was the highest numbers it has seen. Question is how long will it take for the shiny to wear off? I miss DAoC

maybe they cancelled their subs for a month to check out GW2 and are just waiting til the 25th? If the conversation turned "Tit-for-Tat", and I've stopped posting, Consider it your win. |

Originally posted by Jackdog You do realize that the Pandaren were the most requested race in a poll awhile back right? Blizzard didn't just pull that race out of their ass as the one to add......... |

Originally posted by GeezerGamer WoW been losing players long before GW2 released and I seriosly doubt if 60% of the playerbases subs all expired on the 26th of August. If they were going to give GW2 a looksee and did not care for it you would thing that WOW's numbers would already be climbing back to the pre GW2 numbers dunno myself,. I do k=know though that the first 2 weeks of GW2 I was logging in 12 to 14 hours a day, now I am down to 4 - 6 I miss DAoC

Originally posted by stevebmbsqd if that is true then that makes it even funnier. What were the other choices, all something oriental in nature I assume judging from the rest of the expansions content I miss DAoC

Originally posted by hikaru77 clearly xfire population has nothing to do with actual numbers because we know wow has more player than guild wars 2 but at the same time gw2 has more players than wow on xfire so clearly a drop in xfire players does nothing to demonstrate a drop in actual numbers. |

Originally posted by hikaru77 my guess would be school starting, and getting over the I have to get 1 more level before bed syndrome that always occurs with a new games release Like I pointed out all of the top 5 MMOs have dropped by 30 - 50 % since GW2 released. Their numbers have not bounced up with GW2's numbers decline. Did everyone just quit playing ? I miss DAoC

Originally posted by Jackdog It's clear that the game of choice is still gw2 and people are just playing less. |

Who cares? X-fire is not a reliable source, I'm sure most of the GW2 players (including me) don't even use that website. The GW2 servers are full / high in the afternoon, no changes there. /shrug

Originally posted by STDB The point of the thread is just that. X-Fire numbers. Just take it as it is. XFire users are playing GW2 less and less, but it's still the dominant MMORPG. I myself don't use X-fire. |

Originally posted by NibiruX Actually, both can be right. GW2 can have a third of Wows western players but still top it on Xfire, it all depends on how much each player plays each day. Xfire logs how many hours the game is played each day from all players. If each GW2 player plays 4 hours and each Wow player 1 GW2 would top the list anyways. Then again. you cant compare Xfire ratings between games, it differs a lot how much users of certain games uses it. And it is way more popular in the US than EU. |

Originally posted by Jackdog If you bothered to look at the support forums on X-fire (don't use it, but checked it out), the application stopped working for a lot of players of WoW when the Pandaria patch landed as it didn't recognise the 64bit client and those that couldn't be bothered to manually fix it are just not having hours logged, even those that have still don't have the client working in game apparently. Not some magical drop in players, not some mass migration in one day, simply a technical problem. That being said, x-fire numbers are crap anyway, whether it is GW2's so called decline or WoW's. Of course GW2 hours played have dropped as people settle into their normal play routines after the initial rush, the same as Pandaria will see an initial boost and then tail off back to the norm again later on, it is just the nature of these things. It must be Thursday, i never could get the hang of Thursdays. |

Originally posted by halflife25 Actually you forgot, Stitch from Lilo Stich (azura), Tinker Bell wannabes (Sylvari) and Beasts from Beaty and the beast (Char). NOT to mention the cutscenes were obviously designed by disney, just look at the ending one for the personal story and you even see the Magical kingdom. Gotta love the hipocresy of the GW2 crowd. At least with a sub game they know that people won't tolerate bullshit and leave. With anet we have no recourse but to buy our own lube so our assholes don't get too stretched out from getting bent over a table at Anets will. - Hrimnir |
