It really doesn't matter at this point. When Cataclysm comes out with the release of negrow (worgen) and goblins, including the Maelstrom being opened, AND Azeroth is going to be torched, players will be coming back to this game. It happens all the time. BC came out, tons of players (best expansion yet imo). Then later on when Sunwell patch came out, there weren't that many players because many took breaks. Lich King comes out, a ton of players came back.
Right now, with Aion out and Allods coming out in a couple of days, the numbers will drop, but not enough to cause problems or to leave the WOW community in a state of panic. Once Cataclysm is out, Aions numbers will be dropping heavily.
