In recent news, we published that World of Warcraft have lost more than 2 million subscribers. That is a big loss for Blizzard and to be more shocking, the most of the subscribers that stopped playing WoW are from China. Few people on other forums told us that our title of news is true or it starting to be true, cause WoW is losing his power and the latest expansion Mist of Pandaria shows that Blizzard doesn’t have more ideas than pandas. Crisis?

Lets talk about begging of WoW, it wasn’t first MMORPG game, but none till WoW made so popular game like Blizzard did. Why WoW became so popular? We think cause it was one of the first MMORPG and Blizzard had good marketing- advertising and hype was every day higher and higher. Blizzard spent 4-5 years to develop game and they hard work payout, cause WoW is one of the most profit games ever, with one of the most highest population in the game.WoW reached 15 million subscribers, but some people are saying that WoW had  15 million players. Most of them came from China more than 7 million.

In our first Sunday Theme we talked about F2P model of MMO games, is it a future? We think it is and that P2P will be only used by big companies like EA or Blizzard, but most of the developers and publishers will choose F2P model. Can WoW survive 2-3 years more on P2P? Well it can, but Blizzard than need to update game with better expansions and have better relationship with community, every year someone gossip about WoW transforming to F2P, but that will happen hard, cause we must say Blizzard wants more and more money, they don’t care if they will lose 2 million subscribes, untill there are still people playing and giving their money to Blizzard game will stay on P2P model. But what if they in future give some kind of F2P model or whole game transforms to F2P?

Surely it would be big news that every portal/forum (including us) would talk about for few days. Imagine on our portal title WoW F2P game or something like that? I and we in PCGN think that servers would crash first day of F2P and Blizzard will have hundreds of problems. After that game will not last forever, but it would be top game for next 10 years? We can’t predict that, but one thing we can WoW will shut down one day and that day new era of PC gaming and MMO gaming will start, a future of free games and better ones!

CONCLUSION: In the end we can be grateful to Blizzard and all people who started this whole idea of making an ultimate online game, with million players from all the world playing in one place and they did it, since than more and more developers are trying to make MMO games that will be better than WoW, but for 7 years none did that, but that moment is coming, everyone can feel it and last news about losing subscribes just confirms that. SWOTR and GW 2 will be next great MMO battle, we guarantee that. I as writer of this text never played WoW, but my friends did and almost every time they meet, they talk about WoW and its getting annoying. Enjoy while it lasts

The new website will become a global platform combining a vast community section, comprehensive art and fan content areas, and a full-fledged Ultimate Conquest interface, all united under single design with much improved navigation and enhanced productivity.

“Developing the new website took quite a while, and we are truly glad to finally launch it,” said Wargaming.net CEO Victor Kislyi. “The design you are seeing now will become the foundation for the three-in-one “World of” web platform.”

This is great news from Ubisoft and I hope in future we will have more free DRM game from Ubisoft

The “30-plus hour” game puts players in the shoes of one of the two original characters with different motivations. As former members of Robert’s Rebellion, players will have to battle through numerous quests as power over the Seven Kingdoms is contested.

On the gameplay front, the title will feature an “active slowdown tactical combat engine” that slows time and lets players make strategic battle decisions. Character interactions and player decisions are also said to have a big impact on the game’s world.

During closed beta testing, players explore content from levels 1 to 50, choosing from between eight classes. War of the Immortals also boasts a unique pet system based on the concept of ‘capture and customize‘.
That comes alongside an advanced guild system, which allows players to establish housing for guild members, recruit new warriors, plan dungeon runs and create new recipes and items.

To celebrate the closed beta launch, Perfect World Entertainment is giving away one of two prize packs consisting of Logitech gaming gear and a limited edition War of the Immortals mousepad valued at $210 USD.
All players that log into War of the Immortals between now and November 13 will automatically be entered for a chance to win.

“War of the Immortals gives players a heightened AAA free-to-play experience with interactive environments, soul gear, an in-depth pet system, territory wars PvP and compelling action-RPG combat,” said Jonathon Belliss, Executive Producer, Perfect World Entertainment Inc. “We have brought together some of the most requested MMORPG features into one compelling new game and look forward to hearing what gamers have to say about the closed beta experience.“
