Last reported WOW had 11.4 million subscriptions. here
At least Blizzard has the balls to report drops in their number now.
WoW is #1 on x-fire (and has been for the last 29 days). here
It will still be the most played mmo in the next 5 years by default.
If 8 million players are playing the Chinese version of WoW and they are RMT farmers, how are they getting the gold they are farming to US/EUR versions of the game and their potential buyers?
Hint~ you cannot trade gold between versions. Which basically means that if Chinese players are farming gold, it's because they are trading it to Chinese players for Chinese gamecards. Something akin to EvE and isk/GTC trading. While some US/EUR accounts holders are actually US/EUR players working as "Chinese" gold farmers.
Subscriptions for Chinese WoW are paid for using gamecards that are bought at the rate of 4000 minutes and 2000 minutes (30 yuan and 15 yuan respectively).
There is no limit on how long adults can play
