As a matter of fact .... :))))

Wow regained audiance in the last 14 days.

http://www.warcraftrealms.com/census.php?serverid=-1&factionid=-1&minlevel=10&maxlevel=70&servertypeid=-1

While this site only shows a trend (because the maker's program Census plus needs to be installed),...

it shows a trend that the last 14 days  played characters are again up... by at leats 5% again.

It was 5.8 million charaters played ... now above 6.0 million (last summer of 07 it was even to 5.5 million).

This trend is being confirmed by Xfire stats btw.

and of course by sales stats on amazon

Can you believe in sales mid Europe: World of warcaft  has the spots 1 - 2 - 5 - 7 !!!! NOW anno July 2008 !

Warcraft is again on the rise people. Wheter you like it or not. :)))

I'll predict more than 12 million by December this year after WotLK hits the market

Maybe us old WoW players have a mental link, I have been seriously thinking of sub'n up again to get another 70 before WoTLK comes out. Seems like other people have beaten me to it.

"In EVE, no one gives a damn about a fair fight." - chafin

I have to confess, I've felt a slight pull back towards WOW.

I quickly dismissed those thoughts and will be returning to EVE. 

But no doubt about it, remains the favorite game of my teenage son and his friends, and they are eagerly looking forward to playing more WOW when the expansion comes out.

Not many good fantasy based alternatives atm.  We'll see what happens when WAR comes out.

Only 6 million active characters wow. That is a lot lower than I would of thought for the supposed accounts they report on being subscribed.

Ask a question and you are stupid for 30 seconds, never ask and you are stupid for life.

I don't think it counts the subs in asia, though...I think its europe/North america...but I could very well be wrong.

 

I actually resubscribed a couple days ago...I had that urge to play WoW again
