LOL you mean you just made those numbers up. Yea, I saw that too... Blizzard was just refering to themselves (blizzard) as the creaters of diablo1 and 2 obviously.

The makers of diablo II are flagship studios. Period. These guys that are now working on d3 are NOT the makers of diablo 2.

Vouched. I'm very skeptical about the success of this game. I'm almost sure it's gonna blow. Sell? Sure, it will sell, because everyone will be hyped and be like "OMG ITS TEH DEE 3". But will it maintain itself as D2 did for all these years? Highly doubt it. The game is Dungeon Siege 2 + Warcraft outdated crappy graphics + a big name. That all = D3. I really think they did all those videos quick, they want to pass the view that they've been working on it for years. LIES! It's just because Blizzard is currently a joke. WC3: TfT was the last breakthrough they made. WoW sucks badly. Boring childish crappy game.

WoW was a huge success. the fact of them having 7million players still after a good few years. making them lets see 12 x 15 = 180 x 7,000,000 = 1,260,000,000
its around that much since the number isnt exactly 7million. and it could be lower now or maybe higher.
but roughly 1billion dollars a year. seems pretty big to me.

gameplay isnt that bad but it does get boring after awhile.
Wc3 was a breakthrough with custom games but it doesnt bring as much money as WoW. so thats why i say WoW was a much more break through.


still think d3 will be great. i love all blizzard games. i would be pissed if they let me down now.
the d2 team has been gone for awhile so i think they can make up for it. but it is a big loss.

Lmao sorry to see you actually believe those numbers for WoW
Currently Wow has less than 4 million full time paying members, it's something like 3.8
Current game traffic wise there not in the top 10.
The xbox360 pretty much owns the lions share there.

Some will like D3 and some will preffer HGL, doult one or the other will put hurt the other in the long run.

last i checked it used to be 7million.
damn WoW nubs....
o well still a great money maker
lets put it this way. if i was the guy that made WoW for blizz (thought up the idea) i think i would be pretty good with my life right now lol
and yeah that last statement i vouch

lets see im trying to find about how many wow players there are now since i am curious about it.
when Burnining Crusade was about to come and came out. there was about 8million people.
after that.... im trying to figure out

found this chart http://www.warcraftrealms.com/temp/activity.htm
though its prime times. which is like 7-8pm or something like that
so it isnt that many

posted in WoW forums on jsp. person said theres like 11million now..... so im gonna post on offical i think
ok nvm i cant since my account isnt working

LMAO, 11 millions, that guy is bullshitting you ahahah
According to that chart you posted it's 8 million, it sure is good money, but 90% of WoW population is made by 12-15 years old with Mom's credit card xD
It's still money anyway lol
Here in Brazil WoW is shit for 3 reasons:
1- Abusive prices. Each game (Original + Expansions) sell for the equivalent of 100 USD. ONE HUNDRED EACH GAME!!!
2- Monthly payment (maybe it's a worldwide reason not to play P2P games)
3- It's too childish. Everything is cute and shiny, with weak graphics, general population prefer CS:S.
On the US is a whole different history tho, from those 8 millions at least 6 are probably from US.

hgl never was d3

i only played hgl / wow as a way to kill time, just waiting for d3

enough with this faggotry. im not going to even bother to read thouse arguments ~_~

there is still at least year or two for d3 coming day and in thouse 1 or 2 years hgl have improved with its major patches, no one can know
if d3 will "destroy" hgl. annoying to see these threads everywhere.

HGL fan base is dwindling. I have been a huge advocate of the game but even I find myself straying away. If They do not get it right with this next patch they will lose a significant amount of people for good. Not everyone will give them a million chances to fix their mistakes.

Nicely said bubba. There are people quitting even before 2.0 because they aren't liking what hey are seeing in the TC/patch notes. There's even a rumor they will lower the % crit in Duellos of the Duelist and SuE Steadiers. They are killing the MM...and in my opinion the MM is the differential in HG:L. Where else can you use awesome guns to destroy demons??? I've heard of about 5 people (the I know, imagine the ones I don't know) who already quit HG:L because of 2.0. I'm wondering myself if I shouldn't sell everything and then sell the Palladium for FG.
