Are we ever gonna give up this bs about the game dying? It’s seriously not, this happens literally every year. Players leave when they’re done with a season, then come back the next season/expansion. It’s not rocket science. Here’s the reality: next season starts and we’ll be back up to a million+ players. Then about halfway though, we’ll go down again, then s14 will have a slightly larger spike than S13 due to VoG coming back, but will also have another dip in players halfway through the season, and finally S15 is up in the air due to the little info we have on it and where the playerbase will be at that time. Then Witch Queen will launch and we’ll go back up above 1.5 million. We’ll go up or down more from there depending on how good/bad it is. Feel free to save this comment and come back in a year. I’ve been here since Y1 of D1, and the entire time I’ve been listening to people claiming the games dying and then checking the population. After the D1 droughts and D2Y1 I’m honestly shocked people still call this game dying. We still haven’t gotten below D1 population numbers since Y1, so I honestly don’t get why we still make up this lie that the games somehow dying 9-10 weeks into an expansion. This is just the basic flow of the game. WoW does the same thing just on a larger scale/timeline.
