WoW currently has 11.5 million subscribers.

Let's say each of them buys a year worth of game time, 15 dollars a month.

2,070,000,000 dollars a year in subscription fees alone.. That's in the billions. Feel free to do the math on actual purchase of the game.

I can only imagine how much they'll make off of StarCraft II and Diablo III...

Pssh, Blizzard treats me right. ;o

I can't always say they get updates out on time though. Once, they were two hours later. :disapprove:

(But everyone got like a weeks worth of free play or double exp, or something AWESOME! Seriously.)

I forgot to mention, Blizzard also continues to make sales on StarCraft and WarCraft II and III. :wacko:

[spoiler-box] They only stuff I've done on my MMO, is story, damage calculators, dungeons, maps, race stats, weapons, basic play style, and reading through to see if it'd work. Nothing for pics is available. ;o But this isn't about me, it's about Blizzard and their huge amounts of money! [/spoiler-box]

SC and diablo won't reach the numbers of wow for simple reasons.

Either way Blizzard makes even more than that because they are part of Activsion and that whole thing is the biggest game company.

I had an idea for a MMO. I was going to steal all the classes from other successful MMOs and then throw in other ones that I think of in my head. Classes like Rabbi, otaku, librarian, governor, samurai, carpenter, plumber, magician(more like a David Blaine, or Houdini not spell caster) etc. With all these classes you'd think that there would be only seven good classes and everything else sucked. OH NO, I'm going to make one class broken every week. That is how I'll solve the balance issue!

Though as a wise man said "working on it"
