But at least the drop off is slowing down.
Sad though that even with the diablo III promotion they could not stop another quarterly loss and finally see a gain again.

Eh, on the budget sheet it's a miniscule percentage, barely noticeable.
That said, I foresee them losing a lot more throughout this year, as long as we're all still alive and have access to anything outside a FEMA camp.

Come December 21st, my merry band of friends and I plan to raid FEMA camps full on rebel "wolverine red dawn" style.
We figure that will be much easier than trying to stock up our own supplies.
We decided early on that zombies vs. living would get boring way too fast.
There needs to be a third faction to keep things interesting IRL.

...and from the 1M of Annual Pass subscribers nobody can tell how many subscribed mainly for the Diablo perk. Only Mists of Pandaria has a chance to stop the subscription fall.

I plan on containing myself a Walmart store and a few Walmart rigs and just turtling. Food, guns, clothing, all kinds of supplies to make IED's and such.

Kudos to Blizzard for semi-stopping the loss of customers. Their last few patches certainly have been better than the norm lately, but MoP will still ruin the game for me.

They'll be back. SWTOR won't have the 7 year+ run that WoW had.

I have a hard time buying that number, as few people there are on my server now and as long as the ques have gotten, it has to be fudeged, I bet the actual number is more than 5 times that.

Well, there's possibly a lot of people like me out there that keep their account open, but don't play.

That has always been the case. When I used to take my breaks, I kept my account active even though I didn't log in and play for 6 or 7 months at a time.
The last time I took a break (last February), I deactivated my account and it has be de-activated ever since.
Either way though, so what? Why are people so obsessed over the numbers. The game is 7 years old now, OBVIOUSLY people are going to get tired of it at some point and move on. duh. Only a complete idiot would be surprised by this.

I suspect it's more this than anything else. So many posts by people who log in long enough to raid and maybe a few crafting cooldowns.

So, um, really?.....
People pay to keep accounts activated even though they don't even log in to use them, when canceling and resubscribing is so incredibly easy?
No,
really???

I log in to keep from losing the level 25 guild I have, and still play the auction house a bit.
But I don't actually play 
$15/month is nothing really.

But you are actually logging in and doing something.
I'm talking about people just letting their accounts rot yet still paying monthly.
WTF? At least send blizzard a message and fill out the nastygram exit interview every time you are going to take a break

I'm playing both wow and swtor.. and swtor won't hold me nearly as long as wow has. and thats just plain obvious to me. i thought the dialogue and storylines were really awesome at first.. now they're just annoying and i spacebar through them really fast on anything that isn't my class or companion storyline. amd i hear there isn't much endgame so when i get there i don't know what i'll do.
i do enjoy SWTOR.. and it's an amazing single player game.. and a crummy MMO. i feel like i'm playing DA2 or ME and not an MMO. now i get for a lot of people that's what they want, but i like to play mmo's more than i like single player games(i still like single player games but choose mmo's over them)
anyways.. blizzard has shown time and again that people leave when a game comes out and usually within 6 months probably 50% or more of the players that left for the new game comes back to wow.
that and really.. the game is over 8 years old now (think about the fact it was released 7 and half years ago, personnally i was in the beta, others were playing before me in beta, there was the alpha stage, etc.) this game has more than lasted it's fair share of success. name any other game or franchise that's lasted this long and had even 10% of the subscribers as wow and you won't find one. so if the end is near, the end is near. there's nothing to beat on blizzard for.
i mean seriously... listen to all the people.. they're like... "OH NOES!!@#! the end is near for the game i stopped playing 6 years ago!@!!$!$! i mean, it's still got 5 times the subsribers of any other game on the market but it's gonna dieWER!#@$!$ ZOMG!$@!$!$@ !$"
really people.. get a hold of yourselfs.
