World of Warcraft
World of Warcraft is a massively-multiplayer online role-playing game.
The most popular of all such games, it boasts 11.4 million paying players.
If it were considered a country, it would be the 73rd most populous, higher on the list than Greece, Sweden, and the Czech Republic.
If it were a state, it would be the 8th most populous, with 1 and a half million more people than Michigan.
If it were a city, it would be the 6th most populous, coming in ahead of Tokyo, New York City, and London.

Damn! Thats crazy!
And I still do not understand its ungoing popularity. Sure it was decent when it launched but now there is a ton of games with better entertainment/time ratio out there
I admit, I play this game and I enjoy Cata.
Its amazing that so many poeple play World of Warcraft.
too many warcrack heads!
I played that game for a while - it's really addicting, pretty crazy that it has more active subscribers than some countries.
Wow. It's crazy when you look at it like this.
only 11.4 million?
I would not want to live in the World of Warcraft city. I played from just after launch to after Ulduar was released (ugh, nerd memories), & while I still have friends I made while playing, altogether, it was so much wasted time.
11.4 Million people, all wasting time.
I thought a lot more people are playing this game, 11 m do not sounds that much when I heard that top gear is watched by 250-300m at a time
I am free of WoW.
oh jeez if only they made WoW somehow productive
Wow. Weird when you think about it. Not much of a WoW fan though myself.
I heard that their subs are dropping. It's still a good game (seriously, it's well-designed in many ways) but the community is really horrendous.
wow include private serwers and WoW players could make own continent xd
thats kinda sad
I just want to point out that you got over 110 followers in 9 days.
THAT is a number that's exponentially growing at a mind blowing rate! :D
Congrats!
Have some Skittles. :D
Pretty crazy, too bad (or good) I could never get into it.
I like that game but it went too expensive.
I only played the Beta, I never liked the game :/ but interesting info!
Crazy!
::clapping:: another great breakdown!
And don't forget that legitimate economic analysis has been done using the in game economy.
The eff, man.
11.4 million are not contributing to society.
that is actually kind of sad.
Its also insane how much money this game has made for blizzard
Oh nice curious stuff! :D
Never played it, people really dedicate this much time to a game?
I was one of those people :O
crazy men LS
Pretty ridiculous stuff!
and i would be in that city..... hahaha
Yeah, WoW really has some amazing numbers going for it. But I thought it had more subscribers?
That's population of a average country!
Lots of players, I wonder how many players have played in total(if that makes sense) Past and present.
wow thats insane stupid blizzard XD
More people playing, than there are in my country(Bulgaria) :D
In a sense wOW is a nation. A nation of like minded individuals following a common purpose and ideal.
yeah..WoW is so huge nowadays O_o
wow, never knew how many people played WoW
Ahh The days of warcraft - Long gone!
if it were a city, would have the biggest killing crime of all time
Thats mad, I used to play and it was addictive... but really was just a waste of time! but I suppose any game is
holy jesus haha
give them the vote!
addicting game
hahaha pretty nice facts! wird though
Crazy numbers!
Thats crazy, once you start putting all these numbers into perspective the reality of it all hits home.
ah yes, WoW
i quit unfortunately, so i can't be part of that country
Wow that's some crazy shiz!
interresting post, i used to play this game too :o
That is a lot of MONEY
that's just.. awesome.
ha that's pretty interesting
Pretty cool info! I actually thought there were more people in Greece.
Wow, that's way more users than I expected.
This blog, honestly never ceases to amaze me.
I used to be one of those WoW players. Great numbers :D
Cata is making the population going down!
Haha hey man! Really nice blog, i love how you explain it really simple, take care, following!
They really should move all the WoW players to their own country or city. Could you imagine it? Ah... A city full of nerds...
They'd name that land Mega Tokyo or something else that references comic books or video games like that.
I tried it...but paying for a game thats consumes your life? No way!
the International Confederation World of Warcraft. ICWOW The new world order is at Hand.....
The jump between city and state is kinda mind blowing. 8th in state but only 6th in city, that is crazy!
it's hard to imagine that many people still play it
WoW is boss.
Why isn't this about eve online :P
Its amazinggggggggggggggggggg
Pretty much, but feels like there were more people playing it before, not sure if thats the case though.
