WoW Becomes Bigger Than Many Nations

[Uros "2Lions" Jojic]

01:11 pm EST @ January 11th, 2007

Blizzard has announced that World of Warcraft has officially broken the 8 million subscriber mark. So if WoW were a nation, CIA's World Factbook says that it would be the 94th most populated country on Earth, ranking between Azerbaijan's 7,961,619 citizens, and Burundi's 8,090,068. (Thanks, Blue).

Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. announced today that World of Warcraft®, its subscription-based massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), is now played by more than 8 million gamers around the world. World of Warcraft has also achieved new regional subscriber milestones, with more than 2 million players in North America, more than 1.5 million players in Europe, and more than 3.5 million players in China.

I say we get Thrall a seat in the United Nations. "The Orc don't need no stinkin' resolution to kill all their children, women and men! GARRGH!!"

	Reply Fucking Chinese. White people are really going to have to start fucking more or else they're going to lose the population race.

	Reply Simple math time, folks. World of Warcraft, according to Blizzard, has eight (8) million subscribers. Now, let's be modest and say they pay 12 euros a month, for one year: cha ching that makes 1 152 000 000 euros. 1.152 billion euros a year. Amazing, isn't it? That's a lot of money, right? You know what's more amazing? A Blizzard representative posting on the forum, with an apparent "poker-face" (unverified), claiming that fixing the Vanish bug is too costly. Heh! Can you believe the nerve of this company? Are we expected to believe that they can't allocate 500 bucks out of their 1.152 billion to fix a goddamn bug in their game? How about some updated graphics? How about some proper new content? I used to have amazing respect for Blizzard. With the release of WoW, that's all gone for a long time now.

	Reply Oh, and if you weren't a worthless crack-addict... I mean WoW player, 2lions, you would grab on that little fact with a satirical twist. Like say, a cartoon that makes a subtle hint to the fact that Blizzard casually, and often, takes a giant black dildo and shoves it up the players shitholes just for fun.

Regarding Mass Effect 2:
	A captivating and incredibly immersive sci-fi tale, would recommend it to anyone.
	Good, but not too big an improvement over the original.
	The best I could say about this game is "meh."
	I miss the RPG stuff! Christ, BioWare, what were you thinking? This is awful!
