‘World of Warcraft' News & Update: Despite Reports, Blizzard Claims 10.1 Million Players Is A Misquote Or Misunderstanding [VIDEO]
ByThe enthusiasts of "World of Warcraft" are insane about the latest expansion, dubbed as the Legion, and that has led to a resurgence in the multiplayer online role-playing game. But despite recent reports, Blizzard Entertainment claims that the earlier report saying the online game has 10.1 million players is either a misquote or a misunderstanding.
Blizzard has stated that the number of players isn't an accurate figure. The monthly subscription of "World of Warcraft" which cost $15, peaked in 2010 at 12 million before it moves downward to 5.5 million after the expansion of the online game "Warlords of Draenor" in 2015, according to Venture Beat.
The sixth expansion, "World of Warcraft: Legion," is likely getting gamers back into Warcraft, but a boost back to 10.1 million players seems like an impossible return to form.
However, Blizzard could have denied that 10.1 million is the actual subscriber number at the moment, or the video game developer is not planning to provide subscriber numbers any more.
A Blizzard representative stated that their policy for almost a year now is that they do not talk about subscriber numbers, based on the report of Polygon.
But, while Blizzard did not pitch in the specifics on subscriber numbers, the video game developer did share some impressive stats last month to show off Legion's launch. If the figure of the WOW subscriber is accurate, it represents an exceptional turnaround for "World of Warcraft."
Anyway, in the other post of Polygon, the online role-playing game's huge player base includes a variety of individuals who come to the video game for different reasons, in spite of that, if there's any single activity that brings people together, it's hunting down and showing off the rideable mounts. The launch of the latest expansion, Legion, means there's a massive of new mounts that have been added to the "World of Warcraft's" already massive list.
