On YouTube, Reddit and Twitter, there are stories about people leaving the game. Some cite long delays for new content in a game that charges a monthly fee; others are annoyed at a lack of communication.
Players have been flocking to competing games in larger numbers than ever - led by a wave of famous streamers and content creators jumping ship.
Then, the allegations of widespread sexual harassment and discrimination at Activision Blizzard came.
As Scott Johnson, host of popular MMO podcast The Instance, put it: "You have the perfect storm for a lot of players to hang up their Azeroth gear for good and stake out for a new place to play."Activision Blizzard has not released official player counts for World of Warcraft (WoW) for years. But it does tell investors how many "monthly active users" all of its games have every quarter.
Those figures show that its games lost two million players in three months.
New numbers on how many active players it has across its portfolio of games are due out soon, when the firm announces its latest quarterly results.
WoW is still making plenty of money - revenue is up - so it's possible those numbers mean some of its other games are suffering rather than WoW.
"It's impossible to see the real exodus stats," Scott admitted. "But based on things I have heard inside and outside the company, this might be the most drastic dip they've yet experienced."He doesn't believe the dissatisfaction is down to any one thing - but that after so many years, players are used to every twist on the core gameplay.
