Blizzard Entertainment has just announced that World of Warcraft’s subscriber base has reached an all time high with a standing army of over 12 million players. Does it seem like it’s been a while since you’ve read news about how many millions of people play WoW? That’s because Blizzard hasn’t sent out a press release about their subscriber base since November 21, 2008, when it was announced that 11.5 million players subscribe to WoW. Just one month before that, Blizzard announced that they had surpassed 11 million subscribers on October 28, 2008.

M$However, how many of them are actually gold farmers? It would be a lot harder to actually figure out how many of the 12 million + players are actually "players" It would be way more interesting to figure out how many are gold farmers.
Though gold farmers actually have gone down in the blizzard population due to the fact that people no longer want to buy gold and tend to go to guides more.
