World of Warcraft Reaches 11 Million Players

Recently, World of Warcraft claimed it's 11 millionth victim. While Blizzard cracks open the champagne, I /mourn the lost generation of young men--and fat chicks--who will never again leave their computer desks.

I wonder how many servers are needed to keep those subscribers clicking??

No kidding! I heard that Blizzard had to hire 500 new hamsters to run around in wheels to keep the servers up.

I'm on one of the high population servers, so whenever big patches or exps are on the horizon, I always end up in 30 minute queues as people come back to the game. Very frustrating. Blizzard just opened up free transfers to some of the low population servers from the high population servers, so yay! :D
