Closer to 841 million. You'd need multiple gender studies degrees to afford that.

This was in the early 2000s when most people didn't have that.

Stop living in the past Gelston.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to playing my 30 year old text game.

No, you look it up. You're the one in fantasy land spouting nonsense numbers. Go ahead and link your source. We'll wait while you photoshop your NETWORK+ and MCSA.

WoW has over 9000 servers around the world. They aren't paying 5m each a month. Again, stop making shit up.

Blizzard has not released this info, and they likely will not. Estimates range from $120,000 - $150,000 per day to keep a WOW server up and running. So a bit under $5,000,000 a month or so is the common inference.
