WoW Patch Notes

The World of Warcraft Website offers a new set of version 4.3 Hour of Twilight Patch Notes for Blizzard's MMORPG. These come in spite of the release of said patch over two weeks ago and one two three hotfixes since then, proving that keeping up with game patches can be confusing, even with a centrally updated MMORPG.

Widen your world view, kids. WoW has a much, much larger population in Asia than it does in the US or Europe. A slow demise in your tiny little corner of the world does not equate to a global failure. (I'd wager most of their revenue comes from the US; but I'd imagine overseas operational expenses are measurably lighter alongside their revenues, and result in rather significant margins)

Perhaps you should take your own advice about world views

Their revenues wouldn't necessarily be made up from simply more players despite decreased costs. The margins per player in EU/NA are probably much higher than Asian countries, many of which are on alternative revenue models because their respective economies won't tolerate a higher cost (or due to government interference which is the case quite often too).
