World Of WarCraft Is One Big Country
by Darren
August 14, 2007 – 11:02 amIf it were a country, and not a game, then World of WarCraft would be the 90th biggest one in the world. The game has now exceeded its’ 9 millionth subscriber.
Oh yeah, thanks to Videogamesblogger.com for this idea: If you plot World of Warcraft on the CIA’s World Factbook list of countries by population, Blizzard’s aggregate subscriber list across all servers places it as the 90th most populous country on Earth (of 237 listed), i.e. bigger than Haiti, Austria, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Israel, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Ireland, and so on.
That’s a lot of people plugged in and playing. Plus, if it were a country, I bet it would be very well armed.
