    [​IMG]According to recently collected statistics, World of Warcraft has reached over 13 million unique accounts. Here's a snip from the Gamasutra article:

    With the economic downturn is affecting not only U.S. but global economies one can't help but wonder which if any subscription based games will fall as a result. With decreased consumer spending, reductions in offline retail game sales and overall consumer angst, people are very simply holding on to the dollars they have, we're becoming the ant to the proverbial grasshopper.

    One might think, with the release (or rerelease in some cases) of so many new massively multiplayer experiences, that this might begin to chip away at the veritable mountain of World of Warcraft players across the globe.


    You can find the original post at Gamesutra.

    You will notice how I said accounts as opposed to users. I believe that a lot of people have at some point owned more then one account so the actual number of players is probably smaller then 13 million.
