From GameWatcher: "World of Warcraft has long since stopped being the behemoth it once was, it doesn't take a genius to figure that out, but since Blizzard stopped sharing any concrete subscriber data back in 2015, it's hard to gauge what sort of player count it's been kicking up."
Blizzard Entertainment has announced the opening of beta registrations for “World of Warcraft: The War Within,” inviting players to explore new subterranean worlds beneath Azeroth.
Danish from eXputer: "Despite Blizzard's attempt to give a fresh new spin to World of Warcraft, some fans still seem to be stuck in the past."
HG writes: "Blizzard is usually pretty bad at keeping secrets, but the company somehow managed to keep this one under wraps until now. Plunderstorm is a special limited-time event that’s basically World of Warcraft’s take on the Battle Royale genre."
This was already debunked. You're quite late to this story.
And who cares. I cancelled my subscription for the last time because I'm tired of Blizzard not knowing what they are doing with an expansion. Let's hope the next gen brings some true next gen mmos
