False info? I'd love to see a source of this 11.6 million players...
Do your own reseach clown. I ghowstcralwer said it on bluetracker, so you might wanna start there.
lol... Do his own research? He's questioning your wealth of knowledge and now you're either too lazy to get the information yourself or it doesn't exist. Either way you don't have an argument and you're making yourself look bad in the process.
11.6 million subs both active and inactive maybe. But I'd shit a brick and eat it if there were literally 11.6 mil+ players currently playing. Which I of course know isn't true.
As a side note: if you're going to smack talk a community, you could at least spell basic words properly, especially when bolded...
"IRL is a pretty upstanding MMO with thousands of classes, a lot of PvP and even some pretty unique emotes and titles you can acquire. Explore that world first, then we'll talk about this virtual one."

Blizzard is rly arcurate with thier sub numbers.
Also, i dont feel like going a month back on blue tracker. I know what he said, and i belive him.
I dont understand what are we discussing here.
Income or sub numbers.
All your writting is very interesting, but I only see income numbers and no official subscription release.
So, until you have them, people refrain from going offtopic. Thank you
Ill assume that you have enough intellect to understand that IS NOT an official subscription number report, and will dismiss your 100000000th post about something wich has absolutely nothing to do you the topic here.
I am with most people in that I wont take a forum post by a blizzard employee as "official", but Wow is still selling in droves...
here is a US NDP novemeber 2009 sales ( source )
1 / ** / Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 / Activision
2 / ** / Dragon Age: Origins / Electronic Arts
3 / ** / The Sims 3: World Adventures / Electronic Arts
4 / 1 / The Sims 3 / Electronic Arts
5 / ** / Left 4 Dead 2 / Electronic Arts
6 / 12 / World of Warcraft / Blizzard Entertainment
7 / 3 / Nancy Drew: Warnings at Waverly Academy / Her Interactive
8 / 7 / Borderlands / 2K Games
9 / 4 / World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King / Blizzard Entertainment
10 / 10 / World of Warcraft: Battle Chest / Blizzard Entertainment
Even 5 years on WoW holds 3 spots in the top 10 sales, its normaly within the top 5 but with L4D2, CoD4 and DA:O recently released its knocked down a few notches for a month or two.
In October it held spots 4,8, & 10, Starcraft 1 was at 13 woot! ( source )
In September it held spots 4,8 & 10 ( source )
In august it held spots 2,6 & 8 ( source )
In June it held spots 4,5 & 7, starcraft 1 at 10 woot! ( source )
What I am showing is WoW ( and even blizzards older games) are obviously still selling consistantly month after month, but we dont have official numbers in turns of retentions, and its rententions that really count.
Blizzard doesn't feel the need to share their sub numbers with you, you are of no consequence to anyone. Of course, their numbers will decline at some point, wow will not go on for 100 years. And when the numbers do decline, what's it to you?
Wow's 'cartoony' graphics were 'outdated' the day the game got released. I consider it funny you're putting yourself down like this since clearly you weren't bright enough to lay off the game when the game came out when the above was already true.
As for me, I liked the game's graphics when they came out. I don't see why a few years later I should suddenly feel they are inadequate when i felt they were pleasing to begin with. You either like them, or you don't.
But I'm guessing as your computer got upgraded it somehow raised your need to see more pixel/lighting, and other technical stuff like that? Talk about a slave to the computer age of these days
