When WoW hits 11 or 12 million after Litch King comes out this guy will really have to eat his words.

was going to say something like this

The thing is WoW numbers, like all MMOs, are horribly inflated. They love to count canceled accounts, banned accounts, inactive accounts, mule accounts, etc... Its technically true that they've had that many subscriptions but its not true that that many people actively play the game which is the number that produces revenue for them, not their LTD accounts.

This used to piss me off as an EQ player too, UO, EQ, EQ2, WoW, etc.. they all do it. You won't see numbers go down until its obvious that they can't be going up because they pad it the best they can.

And just to state this, I'm not trying to take anything from WoW, it is tremendously successful and probably will be for quite some time.
