    Unless you're some pvp player this theory just doesn't hold up. Everyone I run with wants an established server to play on. Who wants to risk having a server with no one on it in 6 months. Sounds great in theory if you're a solo player but when you wanna raid or pvp, you're out.
    WoW is big because they give it away for free in Asia. Last stats I heard put 7 mil in asia and the other split in NA and Europe. That's still good numbers for here but 7 million in Asia for a free game, who cares.

    I very much doubt it's free in Asia, especially if there is 7 million of the subscribers there, that's a lot of monthly fees lost.

    Your both right and both wrong. They pay by the hour, so anyone who has played even just an hour within the month is considered an active subscriber.

    They pay about 5 cents an hour in China, actually, which is ~$4.50/month if you play 3 hours a day. Hong Kong is 15 cents an hour. In korea/japan a moderately hardcore gamer would actually end up spending more than in the US, and this is Asia we're talking about so...yeah.

    Its just a weak game.

    I won't even go into detail about how wrong you are, you figure out a lot of things early which is what makes WoW a user friendly game, but hardly everything.


    Yes dude, you figure out everything, Thats one thing i cant play it, to plane simple and with simple games comes simple stuff, grinding for eq 24/7, all you do leads to your eq.

    How fun...

    I didn't understand half of that but let me tell you, you didn't figure out everything.  You probably barely touched the game.
