They will both be dead in 6 moths, this will be free to play by console release.

World of Warcraft is 10 years old, now I've not been up to date with any form of MMO successions but I'm pretty sure it's seen its fair share of hate like ESO has.

ESO won't die. It's getting so much better by the week. In case you haven't realised, people ask for something and Zenimax gives. Some things they don't give, granted, but they're the kind of things they'd see as "generically MMO".

World of Warcraft saw a loss of 800,000 players in the past four months.

This confirms my suspicions, Ebola is spread via MMO's and it's killing off gamers at an alarming rate.

The jury is still out on whether this is good or bad news.

Yes it is a coincidence. ESO had 5 million beta users and is only up to around 800k, most likely they did not leave to come to ESO. ESO has its own players and I doubt we stole any players at all. Neither will be F2P any time soon.

I know, it's completely out of control, why just yesterday I got carjacked by an Ebola virus in broad daylight .... held me a shepherd's crook point until I gave up the keys.

Of course its not a coincidence. Games, regardless of how good they were or how successful they were, die at one point or another. Graphics get considered outdated, the mechanics stale and the game world itself not as lustrous as it used to be. WoW is at least 10 years old by this point, and despite its success in its heyday it is still considered an old MMO by most people.
It had a good run though.

WoW has ups and downs and always has. Population goes way up after an expansion, and back down again in the lull between expansions. Right now they're in a lull. But when the next expansion comes out, it will go back up again.

WoW is a monster. It won't be going anywhere for a very long time. Even when it's at its lowest, it still dwarfs almost every other MMO combined. It's Blizzard's license to print money. Almost anyone else would kill for even a significant fraction of their numbers and revenue.

Agreed with Pallmor. Wow has more than 10.000.000 people plating. Don't know the numbers exactly... 12.000.000? 15.000.000? When you have so much people, 800.000 people down or up it's just normal.

Also, this is almost one year old... I mean...

Perhaps they all left for this other successful P2P mmo.

Maybe they can hire him to come to ZOS and pull another one out of the ground.
