New article here :

Wow now has 10.7 million people playing and Blizzard is bringing in nearly $100 Million a month. 

Let the flaming begin! 

(I really just posted this to see the haters unite and tell us why 10.7 million people are wrong)

 

There is no best MMORPG, only favorites.

10.7 million people are not wrong, it just isn't the game for me.  I found it far too simplistic for MY tastes and I found that too many other games trying to 'emulate' the WoW formula has compressed what was already a weak MMO pool with the same 'simplistic' game play.

If that labels me as a hater of WoW, then so label me.

I second that

I'm glad WoW still has 10 million folks, it means more folks that may decide to try other titles, even non-MMO titles (like Sins of a Solar Empire). A larger market is one you have to compete harder in, but it's one that isn't without wealth or opportunities.

Where did you get that 100 million figure from?

It's 2.5 million in the US.

People keep saying that WoW will soon lose a bunch of subscribers but it's keeps going up and up.

Maybe next quarter.
