Man youre working for Blizzard or what?

To reach 10 million subscribers but half of them have their accounts frozen dont mean anything really. Now dont run to conclusions,rivals coming soon enough. Besides the fact that WoW got 10 millions subscribers in total,can you say to ppl how many of that 10 million are frozen? Would be nice to know the truth you know :P Marketing these days .....Pfff

They only record active accounts when doing that.

EDIT: Over Christmas thier servers got bombarded to the point there were 15min-1hour queues. That is proof enough for me they aren't lying.

Not only that, they daydreaming with such Blizzard statements about 10 millions active players...They were changed some time ago even their spot,now claiming that they talking about active players?.. QQ ..

Worldwide ARMORY on 15/11/07 were only 4million characters,including low lvls and alts. Now Where the other 5-6 are? In china? or Japan?

Or it is a sign they had issues with their servers :roll:

Either way, I couldn't care less. I will stick to my Guild Wars.

Is this 10 million players, or 10 million accounts?

I gurantee that plenty of hardcore players have several accounts...

I have seen a couple players that multi-box, playing more than one account simultaneously.

That being said, the hardcore who do that kind of stuff are in the extreme minority.

You also have to take into account the fact that many players from the same household share accounts. Those unaccounted for players would easily overtake the number of players that have multiple accounts. There's likely a good deal more than 10 million players if they got that figure by only counting active accounts.

Reliable source please, I'm not interested in some individuals half-baked conspiracy theory.

It is reliable,more than Blizzards own statements.At least for me as for you TREAL,no comment,read first then say ownage or something.

If companies dont praise their games who will? Maybe fanboys. But thats it. Noone else.

Should i stick a statement of other company about false achievements? And say pown? lol... Go play now and beleive what you want plz,and let me beleive alot of others than Blizzard itself about this game
