Considering how badly implemented 3.0.8 was, the gear merge of 3.0, and the bad logic that has permeated PVP (1000 resilience or GTFO) this does not bode well. They should take the resources, buy back their stake from Activision and go out on their own and focus on making WoW as good as it can be.

KotOR looms large on the horizon and I personally know a lot of people looking for anything that isn't being dumbed down or simplified like WoW is.......

What happens in the game does not necessarily mean that the stock will go down.

The ONLY way players can change a blizzard stock is if they cancel their accounts. Stopping the money flow will directly effect the company stock. Do you really think stock analysts care what they hell happens in the game? Nope. They don't know or care. All they see is the success of the games sold and subscription rates.

Only when you see the subscription rate level or go down, you will see REAL panic in the stock.

Right now, it's just a bad economy. Plain and simple.
