• World of Warcraft Subscribers Loss & Kungen (Ensidia Retires)



    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!


    World of Warcraft Veteran Retires
    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.

      Good post, I have to agree with this, the game is getting more and more boring, I miss the sense off challenge this game used to have but now lacks. And finding online friends these days just doesn't happen.

      Agreed. All the classes are the same now, utility is gone.

      Patch 1.2 RIFT is going towards WotLK fail, where Trion tries to grow playerbase(and profit), due nerfing everything for the retarded whinersfailers in forums. T2 instances, which used to be hardcore and only for clueful/geared players, are jokes now. Warriors loling in leather gear and semidps build are spampulling while bards(not a purehealer but support aoe heal) are solohealing em. It used to be Full tank warrior/cleric(no rogue since fail aoe threat), cleric mainhealer and support - bard/chloro. People do T2 instances as 3man?WTF? They increased the amount of costs on the T2 Plaque gear, so ppl COULD FARM EVEN MORE?Im glad i got my T2 set in 1.1, since this fail LFG tool doesnt work, even in high populated servers.
      PvP is a joke, even tho they nerfed pyros and im playing rogue(which is A BIT more fun than previous patches), but still, once u hit rank 6 you got nothing else to do. Not mentioning the fact "real players" bot their rank up and Trion doesnt do shit about it.
      Only thing what keeps me playing is Greenscale and River of Souls raids, but thats it. Atleast they didnt nerf the raids jet(probably cause there wasnt enough whine about them being hard jet, since ppl struggeled to get 200 hit/shit and gear from T2 instances).
      The daily crafting quests are joke, since the receipts u can buy are total rubbish.
      And the cherriy on top of "THE CAKE" - some coolguys pay for soft, what gives location of artefacts so they could bot on BG with a WHITE TURTLE

      Please dont kill RIFT Trion.

      I know exactly the reason why they leave.
      The first half of the reason is cheating communities like this one, that makes it impossible for normal players to get a chanse to be something in-game, THIS DESTROYS THE FUN.
      The other half i that cataclysm is a fail, WOTLK was allways stable and fun, both low geared and good geared players had something to do.
      Then came Ruby Sanctum and the fails began...

      I have left this game for good.
      JOIN THE GOOD SIDE !!!!

      Tbc was the best & will always be i guess. It took some time for people to understand it.


      WoW is too simple now, noob friendly imo.

      @JinxFarm
      It's Elitists like you that make me laugh. Dungeons took way to long to complete... period. The main reason for that was the trash... either the amount of health they had or just simply how much of it there was. It wasn't taking forever to completely these dungeons just because of difficulty. Having annoying trash to clear there doesn't make it any more difficult nor does removing it or nerfing their health make it any less difficult. And that's all they did. Dungeons are now much quicker and don't take 3 hours to complete. All because they nerfed the Trash... not the Bosses.

      You also act as though that's the only content available to you... They added new Raid and difficult Raid rifts... yet you cry as if they made content easier.

      What people don't seem to understand is that when new content is added, it's usually harder because it's the next big thing. This causes problems. All those people that hadn't already geared up for the previous tier of content must also do so for the current tier. Now tell me which would you rather do... Make previous content easier so that those people (and your alts) and catch up to you which in turn allows easier recruiting... OR, would you rather not change everything and be forced to hold those people's hands through the harder content since that'll be your only option for gearing them up quickly. By doing this, you're hurting your raid because everyone else must pick up the slack.

      All because they nerfed the Trash... not the Bosses. <- wrong, they nerfed all T2 contest, but people still fail on em - even with improved gear AND nerfed bosses, which is double boost. Reducing trash is most welcome, since grinding through trash actually took alot pointless time, but making bosses easymode for 3mans is too much. Yesterday i did my last T2 instance using LFG tool, after 1.5h waiting to assamble our awesome grp, we managed to wipe 5x on AP T2 first boss before i took off - ALL POSSIBLE WAYS U CAN IMAGINE!(Failing on hiding on the boss aoe mostly)
      About your second part theres one simple truth - if you want to get gear, l2p, cus they didnt nerf raids(but boosted even GS 1 boss) and if these handicaps get into raids its going to be a disaster.
      Its just painful to see how retards in forum are killing another promising MMO due their lack of brain and the management actually listens em - like wow went towards downhill after TBC. Just didnt expect it to happen with RIFT after 1st month.

      I guess i was still in my honeymoon perios in BC and loved it, even tho i was to bad for most heroics and could barely kill gruul or karazhan. It gave me a magical feeling to try the raids (and mostley fail 'm). I also did alot of exploring which was fun while it lasted.

      The topic is very missleading, "Ensidia Retires" which they arent. As you said in your post aswell. Other than that great article.

      Or maybe it's time for a new generation of players. People are complaining, stuck in past version of the game. You all sound like old peoples "It was way better in my time". Take the game for what it is: a game. It had to evolve, it did. I, for one, am looking foward to the day they redo Northrend and outlands to fit with the current lore. I admit I left the game for a month or two, but I keep coming back because I enjoy the new content.

      If you want to leave, fine, do it. Don't say people are deserting the game because you and your friends are leaving.

      Rift ****ing sux.

      Wow isnt losing to many players cause of the boring content.

      New games come around, and as said, blizz didnt xpct to have people burn trough current content this fast.

      At this moment, wow is stale, and other games take adventage of it, like the copy cat game Rift.

      Problem is, they are dull and boring after 2 hours playing... so they cant keep theyre playerbase. In any way !

      Firelands will come, and loads of naysayers will come back...

      And kungen... you are just a lil bitch... Never thought hi of you...no more money to be made eh...

      Id like to see how many subscribers rift is getting per day... it seems the servers are getting packed and more packed... so if its sucks THAT bad then why are so many people switching?... sick of wow? Rift def. offers more dynamic game play thats for sure. However Im not defending the game to the T.
