Acti-Blizz Q3 financials - High percentage of those leaving WoW return, says Morhaime

Speaking in an earnings call following the release of third quarter financials yesterday, Blizzard boss Mike Morhaime said that those leaving World of Warcraft for competing MMOs have a very strong chance of ultimately returning.

According to the exec, of players trying Age of Conan, 68 percent came back to World of Warcraft, with the figure for people having a go on Warhammer Online a lesser 46 percent.

There's no escape. Well, there is for some. Kind of.

Thanks, Joystiq.
