Over the course of 12 months, analysts anticipate that World of Warcraft will add over 1 million new subscribers. This 1 million figure will be on top of the already astounding 10.9 million current subscribers.
The huge surge of new subscribers will primarily be fueled by the upcoming Wrath of the Lich King expansion, set to release on November 13. Lazard Capital Markets' Colin Sebastian had this to say on the impact of Warhammer Online on WoW.

"We do not expect [Warhammer Online to have] a significant negative impact in the near-term on World of Warcraft — and note that preorders of the upcoming [WoW] expansion pack rank as one of the best selling games on Amazon.com and other retail websites. Our conversations at BlizzCon suggest limited interest in [Warhammer Online] among core WoW users."
