Those things are horrendously expensive so if that is the source it would be hard for us to get hold of one to see.<br /><br />Eve tells you how many people are logged on and it's generally about 45 000 at US peak time.<br /><br />So if WoW was a million concurrent at peak and they've just lost all their China numbers it puts them at about 10 times Eve. (ie 450k online at a time).<br /><br />It's all so murky. However it may be the case that rivals like Warhammer should not base their expectations on WoW's "eleven million users" as this figure is probably nowhere even close to how many people actually play now, especially with the Chinese numbers gone.Stabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716211705647213383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829401646612727780.post-79940226771647837322009-11-04T12:51:36.022+00:002009-11-04T12:51:36.022+00:00I fail to see how one million concurrent active us...I fail to see how one million concurrent active users "pales in comparrison" to anything, let alone EVE Online.<br /><br />We have no idea how many users (concurrent or otherwise) that each WoW server supports.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10693094640731170153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829401646612727780.post-23353783160138963442009-11-04T11:55:30.703+00:002009-11-04T11:55:30.703+00:00I have to agree with Andrew on this one.

It still pales in comparision to the concurrent active user connections to the EVE cluster.<br /><br />It's a major milestone for WoW. To bring this news into an EVE comparision it would be like the first time they had 5000 concurrent connections to the EVE cluster.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829401646612727780.post-3236832307676634272009-11-04T04:44:26.933+00:002009-11-04T04:44:26.933+00:00I'm willing to bet that Reuters typoed.

That's probably supposed to read "one million peak concurrent users". <br /><br /><br />(i.e. one million people playing at the same time, as opposed to 1 million accounts)<br /><br />"Peak current users" makes no sense as a term.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10693094640731170153noreply@blogger.com
