World of Warcraft is currently experiencing a steady downward trend.
More and more people are currently leaving the game - unsubscribing, tired of the Cataclysm and rehashed content.
Players have finished the raid content sooner than Blizzard expected.
Many people now whine about Heroics being hard when compared to Wrath.
Thus far, World of Warcraft has lost 600K subscribers, which is about 5% of the whole subscriber base.
That brings Warcraft subscribers down from 12.0M to 11.4M. It's up to Blizzard to take action, since 5% isn't a negligible number.
People on my fanpage have answered the question 'Why are people leaving the World of Warcraft?"
Here are some of their opinions...
This game is getting boring and boring.. tho it's one of the best games i've ever played.
Its all the WOTLK noobs who think cata is too hard. Wotlk poduced a bunch of idiot players especting instant epics and no hard mechanics. Cata is a nice change, a good job by Blizzard.
I left because of class homogenization... There's nothing special to any class anymore. The community is getting worse, new players literally have no way of making friends unless they join a guild. BC was WoW's pinnacle IMO.
After playing the game since pre-be. raiding during all that time. it has been pretty boring for me. the mechanics are the same, just maybe a little altered, the lore got more boring imo. and just yea... after a while... and what really killed the game for me is Wrath. I mean... i wanted to slam my dick against a table it was so boring (Pally Healing).
Well, in my opinion, World of Warcraft its not anymore that game that could make me stay in front of a computer for hours and hours.. Everything's so easy and you get gear in one day, you get best gear of them game within a month, you can level to 85 in several hours.. you can beat 6/7 monsters at the same time at lvl 20.. i remember crossing Ashenvale with the feeling that something or someone would come up from the bushes and zerg me.. i remember to see and i admired those guys near the bridge of ironforge exposing and showing of their gear so everyone could see and pick them for raid.. it was the magic of the game, struggling and struggling to make an impact on the game.. now its completely given to the players.. the best time for me was TBC and the early wotlk when u had old naxx back.. you can say that tbc was fake and lame and vanilla was the deal.. but believe me.. tbc was the revolution inside that world.. damn i miss those times!

Among the 600K people, there is at least one, you certainly know.

The co-founder of Nihilum, Kungen, has left the game.
It's not sure, whether indefinitely, but here is his statement:
I've been playing since the release which was about 5 years ago and that's quite a long time. The first year the game was a 5 of 5 to me, the second a 4 of 5, the third a 3 of 5... You can see where this is going, I just don't enjoy the game the same way anymore. And so after having thought about it for a while, I finally decided that it was time to call it quits.
The guild is motivated and said to continue even without Kungen with even greater determination.
