The latest expansion fo WoW has sold 3.4 million copies on launch day (also including pre-launch sales). And suddenly I’ve come to realize this: _World of Warcraft it’s going to outlast EVE_. 3.4 million copies are a minimum of 115 million dollars. How small should this become until Blizzard gave up trying? I mean, even 1/10th of that (12 million dollars) would be worth developing the thing -not with a thousand people, of course, but still would be a viable business proposition. And WoW is going to take a bit to shrink by 90%. Certainly more than what will take for EVE to reach demographic collapse. How long until noobs start in an obvious barren land highsec…? ---

It won’t outlast EVE,not so fast. I believe many people will get bored of WoW and stop playing it before the next expansion. Blizzard already stopped making subscriber numbers public 2 expansions ago. The point I make here is EVE is a patience game while WoW is an instant gratification one. EVE grew slowly and will die slowly(if it dies at all). On the other hand, WoW will end abruptly. EVE just needs funding imo. ---

I think WoW will last longer from the fact that you can have private pirate server. CCP will never go that way, they need a monster to run all things. ---

WoW has a larger player base and can be run on any server hardware. WoW could shrink to 1/100t the size and sitll be a viable commercial product (Ultima Online is 21 years old and still is being run and developed officially). WoW servers hold like 40-50 players max, that’s a "fll server2. EVE doesn’t haves that luxury. In EVE, without enough players online, the server becomes a barren wasteland. There is a number below which players just won’t find enough players to feel the game is alive. And the day we will learn what is that number by experiencing it is coming. I give it a bit over 3 years. Could be up to 5. But EVE isn’t going anywhere even if the Goons don’t want to “serenitify” Tranquility à-la-PIBC. Highsec is dying down and CCP isn’t saving it, nor haves any plan to save highsec. And EVE without highsec is just a corpse waiting to notice that it’s dead. WoW will outlast EVE, both as a commercial game and as a “unoffcial” venture. ---

With the vanilla WoW’s way of dealing with questing and reward system being praised by people (similarity with EVE on some level, like when people say EVE is past its best years), and them still using private servers for that original experience, its like it will never die even when Blizzard ends as a shroud of an atomic cloud. ---

From that ARS article: > "Microsoft is also warning, again, that _all_ Windows updates now require the use of a compatible, up-to-date anti-virus program. The changes made to the operating system to address the Meltdown flaw are significant and have revealed many bugs and incompatibilities in anti-virus software. To ensure that the patch isn’t applied to machines with an incompatible anti-virus program, the update—and every subsequent update—requires a special registry key to exist. This registry key is created by anti-virus software to indicate that it’s compatible with the Meltdown fixes. > > Systems without a compatible anti-virus application won’t have the registry key, and, hence, those won’t receive any further Windows Updates. This includes systems with no anti-virus software at all. Windows 8.1 and 10 both include integrated anti-virus software that’ll set the key and enable updates appropriately; Windows 7 users without anti-virus software will have to install suitable software themselves. Microsoft’s own Security Essentials works, as do various third-party options." So, for those with conspiracy theories about Windows Updates, now they know how to effectively turn windows update off forever. Just deactivate Windows Defender/Microsoft Essentials ( I did a long time ago via registry as MS a/v ■■■■ annoys me with its limited customization ) and don’t install any anti-virus. ---
