A new patch is now available for World of Warcraft, coincidental with
this Blizzard Press Release
announcing that World of Warcraft now has 10 million active subscribers
worldwide. As there are always quibbles about what that means, here's their
definition: "World of Warcraft subscribers include individuals who have paid a
subscription fee or have an active prepaid card to play World of Warcraft, as
well as those who have purchased the game and are within their free month of
access. Internet Game Room players who have accessed the game over the last
thirty days are also counted as subscribers. The above definition excludes all
players under free promotional subscriptions, expired or cancelled
subscriptions, and expired prepaid cards. Subscribers in licensees' territories
are defined along the same rules." As for the patch, a new version 2.3.3 update
is now available, though
the Current Patch WoW Notes list the current version as 2.3.2 and the 2.3.3
patch notes are on the
test realm page, so this new version may not actually be live yet. Downloads
of the US/Aus manual version 2.3.3 client patch are available from
ActionTrip,
AtomicGamer,
FanGaming,
FileFront, Gamer's Hell,
Games32, The
Patches Scrolls, and
Strategy Informer. Various other language editions of the patch are on
ActionTrip,
AtomicGamer, Gamer's
Hell,
Games32, and
The Patches Scrolls. I hope it goes without saying that you should probably
not patch your client until you are sure your server is running the new version.

Still I can't help wonder how much more they would be making if WoW used P2P tech to make each of those 10 million clients , share some of the server burden. Why haven't any mmorpgs embraced P2P yet ? It seems like a perfect match.
Because from a technical standpoint it can't be done with current technology. For so many reasons.
P2P is for transferring files around, it isn't a magic bullet for distributed computing that lets you run a server farm across thousands of PCs on dubious internet connections.
