Having launched WoW in China not very long ago they have now surpassed 1.5million subscribers in China alone. The total number of WoW subscribers is now at over 3.5 million. Put that in your calculator.

IRVINE, Calif. – July 20, 2005 – Blizzard Entertainment®, Inc. today announced that World of WarcraftÃ‚Â®, its subscription-based massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), has surpassed 1.5 million paying customers in China – just a month following the game’s commercial launch on June 7, 2005. The critically acclaimed World of Warcraft has now achieved another significant milestone as the largest MMORPG in the world, with more than 3.5 million global customers.

3,500,000 X $15 = $52,500,000 every month in revenue. Although they probably charge less in China, how much is it over there?
ed:
I heard there are Free servers where you can play on, can anybody tell moi if zis iz tr00? I'd like to test it out, mess around and not pay for it.

Yes, but server maitenance has to be through the roof.

I quit the game because it was too addicting, so you can make that 3.49999999 billion.

my friend got fired from Blizzard for taking the time to help customers. SWG>WoW

dr nein · 07-20-2005, 09:42 PM

No matter how much you dislike WoW, how can you say SWG is better? Horrible support, shitty gameplay and not a whole lot to do in that piece of shit.

Doctor Duffy · 07-20-2005, 10:30 PM

I avoid those kind of games, for fear of being addicted, which I know I will. I dont wanna turn into a fatass.

Who's your friends name? Did he make Starcraft? Just picked that up today for $10.

Civ IV and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion will occupy pretty much all of my time come november. Two of the most addicting games ever for me if their predecessors are any indication.
