| Kwaad said: Actually I doubt that there are 8.5 million subscriptions to WoW. Mainly becuase that number has been growing at about 1 million every 3 months steadily for the last year. Also, I was a early WoW adopter. I will say this, Blizzards numbers for the game are NOT subscription. It's total sold. Wanna post your source? |
It is easier for Blizzard to track subscriptions rather than sales since it is a revolving account. First it isn't 8.5 million players but 8.5 million subscriptions there is a difference. A lot of people 2 box and 3 box I woudl figure if you take those out of the equation it would be closer to 6 million. On top of that you have quite a few people that pop in and out every month or take long breaks but not cancel their subscription because people are lazy..If you take those out you would probably have around 3 million.
I mean basically it would average out 7K people per server at a time assuming 8 hours of play.
