    Good on WoW! I used to play it for 2 months before leaving because it just got too time consuming. But I can appreciate the longevity and substance the WoW games have. 11 million is a lot!

    What do you expect? It is WoW after all, and there is a lot to the Warcraft universe. Plus, how can you resist the Lich King! He's just so cool.

    I'm surprised the number of users isn't going down now.

    11 million subscribers =/= 11 million players. 11 million subscribers = how many accounts been made.

      Blizzard is still getting payed for each one, that's still a lot of money.

      Actually, I think that 11 million subscribers = 11 million players. To be a subscriber you have to pay, and you wouldn't subscribe if you don't play.

        11 Million subscribers doesn't really mean 11 million players, for example theres that guy who has like, 11 accounts or something and plays them all at the same time
        11 Million Subscribers just means 11 Million accounts made and being paid for.

    And as soon as WotLK hits shelves, that number will more than likely surge. World of Warcraft is amazing... and addictive.
