WoW Trivia Time!

Statistics may not be 100% accurate almost half of the time but if, like me, you take pleasure in knowing useless facts, read on.

1.    There are more than 11.5 million WoW players around the world
2.    Most of the players (nearly half) are from Asia, 22% in North America, 17% came from Europe, and 13% other areas
3.    It is estimated that the total value of North American and European players’ subscription fee amounts to 800 million USD―more than a year of Samoa’s GDP
4.    Human, with 19%, is the most popular race in WoW
5.    1 in every 5 players is a girl
6.    American subscribers spend an average of 22.7 hours a week playing WoW as opposed to 35 hours at work and 39.25 hours watching TV
7.    It took only 150 developers to create the 30000 items, 7600 quests, 5300 NPCs and 1400 locations in WoW

Yup, those are the top 7 facts you didn’t really need to know but still took time to read. Well, you know what they say. More knowledge, more power. And let’s not forget, with great power comes great responsibility. Okay okay, I’ll stop now.
