This is clearly not going to be a big hit for the hugely popular MMO series, but Blizzard have announced that their World of Warcraft subscription database is down to 5.5 million subscribers. This is 100k less than their previous quarter.

There are a lot of varying factors that can affect this and there are also quite a few expansion packs and game modes for World of Warcraft where players may feel not a lot is happening at the moment. On top of this news, Blizzard has also announced they will not be announcing their quarterly figures anymore.

It’s not been revealed how they are planning on divulging new statistics going forward but they have said “there are other metrics that are better indicators of the overall Blizzard business performance” so this is suggesting they will try a different approach in future.

The latest expansion pack to add to their ever expanding collection is titled Legion; you can read more details here. It has been promised that a beta version of the game will be released later this year, more on that is expected to come in the near future and there will be a display for the expansion at BlizzCon this week.

Hi guys, The names Toby and I'm from the UK, I'm 26 years old and I've had a huge passion for the gaming world pretty much since birth. My first gaming console was the NES and I've got my parents to thank for that one, since then I have been gaming non stop, mainly on Nintendo consoles and handhelds but I've recently branched out into Sony's world and I'm playing a lot of Steam games. My favourite genre's are probably JRPG's, Platform, Action/Adventure and I love games with a good story, things like The Last Of Us, Ni No Kuni, the Professor Layton series. I'm a massive Zelda nut, always loved the franchise, the characters and the different art styles, not to mention the music. Apart from gaming I enjoy going to the gym, reading and general socialising. Quite a big film buff as well and I love my music and the cinema! That's me in a nutshell anyways, look forward to chatting games with you all! :)
