When they say retention was higher than previous expansions at similar points they can use % instead of actual numbers.Ĭould be a retention rate of 55% over 53% but if maus are down, it's still a decline in overall population.In World of Warcraft, you play as one of the multiple races divided into three factions. Honestly, i never understood the fascination some morons have with streameers and such, my enjoyment of the game does not depend on them, untill you said so i didnt even know he doesnt play anymore, i play wow bcs I enjoy it, not bcs some youtuber does.Earnings calls are heavy PR events. So maybe, just maybe, YOUR opinion of the DF, which Asmongold might share (why on earth would we give a damn?), is not shared with general audience, and the game is indeed doing fine.Īs for Asmongold, or others like him, why should we care if they play?

and sure they can bend truth there but cant outright lie so that is hard to interpret differently. Then the game is in trouble? We have seen a lot of discussion about how Shadowlands is to blame for Dragonflight doing poorly, but if the game can not retain players like Asmongold then maybe that is the actual issue WoW is facing? At some point we have to stop blaming Shadowlands and look at the actual state of Dragonflight that for some reason is just not attractive to players.Īt this point you should read quarter call, which states DF have better player retention than previous modern expansions. Just seems like if Dragonflight has lost someone like Asmongold, who was the kind of quintessential WoW player who would play constantly. He used to PvP at a decent level and get many of the mounts and titles. He used to raid and clear Mythic, even during something like Nighthold.

Even during Shadowlands he played significantly more than he does now, which to be fair, is not that difficult, since he basically has stopped playing. Even during BFA he would play the game constantly. Flies around Stormwind complains about the game for twenty minutes, collects his monthly retainment chest and then logs off. Now he logs into the game for the first time in I do not know how long. The guy used to play WoW every single day and gave WoW incredible free advertisement on both Twitch and Youtube.
