Wow, 9MM at 15 bucks a month... its a freakin' license to print money.

I almost want to call BS on these numbers. 9 million subscribers? I wonder how many people with multiple accounts they're counting twice? And all the Gold Farmers with their thousands of accounts? I'd bet anything that there aren't 9 million individual people playing World of Warcraft in a 24 hour period.

Doesn't matter how many actual players there are. More important is that there are 9 million active accounts, ergo money is reeling in from 9 million accounts. If i'd be Blizz, I couldn't care less, if Bill had 8.5 million accounts. As long as there's licence to print money, I'm happy. And so is Blizz.
