Uh, guys, not to burst anyone's bubble, but there are a host of free MMOs with larger install bases than WoW has.

This is, of course, because anyone who has ever signed up for the game and thought, "Eh, I'll give it a shot I guess, it's free" can be counted as a subscriber. Forever. Club Penguin has tens of millions of "subscribers," for example.

I haven't played this game, so I can't say whether it's good or not. I'm just making sure people have this in perspective -- 2 million for a free-to-play is a very different animal than 12 million paying subscribers, both statistically and economically.

Yeah, but I'd say that considering how it hasn't even been a month since the game was released that there's still a significant amount of players actually playing the game. It's a pretty impressive achievement for such a short amout of time, I think. There is at least one account that's inactive though. I gave up on it because the controls were bothering me for some reason. I'll wait for the PS3 version to see if I want to keep playing or not.
