Congratulations! Want to buy some gold now? Just kidding. It's great to see it still growing, despite some random idiot's claim to WoW's downfall.

I doubt they'll break 12 million, if they do i doubt they'll break 15 million but if they do... oh wait.
:P

The sky is pretty much the limit with WoW, and that's not only a good thing for Blizzard, but the MMO market as a whole. It opens up the genre to a whole new playerbase that may have not considered playing MMOs before.

Congrads Blizz:

Maybe this means I can spend less time waiting for a team to form for Instances and spend more time actually playing the game! :D

10,000,000 subscribers doesn't mean 10,000,000 players i wonder how many of these are 1 person with 2 or 3+ accounts? and i bet a vast majority of the accounts belong to gold farmers, imo if blizzard knew what accounts belonged to gold farmers and was to ban them all 10,000,000 would become <7,000,000 real fast :D

10 million subscribers x $15 a month...

Blizzard is raking in $150 million A MONTH from this game ALONE and we as players still have to deal with quite a few balance issue and bugs. I mean, come on.

More power to Blizz for generating such subscription numbers, but it makes me wonder where all the money is going.

To be fair, adding two or three more people to the development pool doesn't necessarily mean quicker or more balanced content.

In the end, it usually turns out quite the opposite, where you have several designers now arguing over what they each feel is "right" for the game.

Shirvington,

I can understand were you are coming from but are you prefect and if you go to school or work do you do a prefect job. Name me one product/person/object that is prefect, so lets not push are theoretical wanted prefect requirements on a company that is meeting majority of people's requirements and needs.

Additionally $150 million revenue that is not profit and does not take into account the operating costs.

Lastly name another game that is close to WoW in terms of reliability and functionality in MMO genre.

I think my other colleagues said it, adding staff increases the complexity, since now the new staff need to be familiar with game dynamics and understand the development trail so far. Additionally when you add new code to original developed code, you always have issues, especially if you use add-ons.

I would want Blizzard to work with some of the third party add-on developers so that we have smoth transition to updates/patches and there is a standard for add-on development. just a wish, since I enjoy the game and know Blizzard providing a great service to the players

And WoW would still be the most played P2P MMO in the Western World. I don't think they'd care too much :-)

if their taking in 150 million a month i think they can afford to pay someone to admin av's. To be honest right now av has the largest number of exploiters this game has ever seen. i'd rather deal with gold farmers then have to be in a av where only 20 people are currently playing and the other 20 are just sitting in the cave >_> i know their making improvements to fix this problem but they need to do it faster because by the time they do something about it...all the people afking and using bots will have what they want and have gotten away with it.

i can deal with someone using their hard earned money to pay for something but i don't really approve of someone downloading some free bot then letting it farm them honor something which they don't deserve. And the rest of us suffer in av's because of it. bleh i'll stop ranting now
