World of
Warcraft Achieves New Milestone with Two Million Paying Subscribers is the
press release announcing a new subscription threshold achieved by Blizzard's
MMORPG, with further breakthroughs expected when the game launches in China:
World of Warcraft recently surpassed the two million mark for paying subscribers. Already the largest MMO in both North America and Europe, Blizzard expects to see even greater growth with the recent commercial launch in China on June 7, 2005. Anticipation for World of Warcraft was already at an all-time high in China, with peak concurrency during the open beta test topping 500,000 players, nearly equal to World of Warcraft's peak concurrency in all three current markets combined. Blizzard expects to see the new mark of two million subscribers shattered quickly with the arrival of players from China in the coming weeks.
"I hear a lot of people saying that there is a definite item grind, though, that your survivability is massively dependant on your loot?
Granted, the people I hear this from may not be the most objective observers (ie, GW players)."
Remeber bunny hopping around in Counter Strike where you couldn't hit someone because your shots wouldn't land? Yeah? Well that's what good players do in WoW. You can have the most pimped out gear and I'll still bunny hop around instanting your ass to death. You can definitely tell the MMORPG addicts from the FPS fans when you start fighting. An MMORPG nerd will stand still exchanging blows. The FPS player will hop around like a crack addict so you can't keep targeted.
The gear only matters when you fight someone whose also a crack head (i.e. good at maneuvering). Then you're fucked.
