Apocalypse WoW?

Is the end nigh for World of Warcraft? Okay, that's a little over-dramatic, but Wowinsider.com has a post wondering why so many people are leaving the game (according to stats compiled by warcraftrealms.com), only months after the Burning Crusade expansion. Strangely, numbers were climbing right up until the release of the powerful add-on.

Comments below the piece come up with several suggestions. Some think it's to do with the arrival of summer, others that TBC made the game less accessible and friendly to casual users. There are also suggestions that this is a natural drop-off for a three-year-old old MMORPG.

Are you still playing? If so, has TBC enhanced or reduced your experience?
