Wowzer writes "Blizzard today announced that their MMORPG World of Warcraft is now played by more than 9 million gamers around the world. From the article: 'That's half a million more than the number of monthly players WoW had back in March five months ago. — It's interesting to note that if the World of Warcraft were a nation, CIA's World Factbook says that out of 236 listed countries it would be the 90th most populated country on Earth above Haiti, but behind Sweden.' Also revealed this week was that DC Comics are creating World of Warcraft Comic Books based on the MMORPG, with the first issue appearing on November 14th. The ongoing monthly series will be written by industry veteran Walter Simonson (Thor, Orion) and feature art by Ludo Lullabi and inker Sandra Hope."Read more of this story at Slashdot.

The dumbass who wrote this article would have known that it isn't "If world of warcraft were a country"

He would have said, if he were a good reporter: "If Azeroth, the fictional, but yet realistic setting of the game, World of Warcraft, were an actual country. It would be the 90th most populated country in the world"

What a dumbass...

Man you are a complex guy aren't you :O
