As zukaus posted WoW reached 8 million subscribers ~Jan 11, and farther back on March 1 2006 it had reached 6 million at that time. Now I don't know how long it would on average for players to reach the point in WoW (how far they are in the game) where BC becomes relevant to buy. But I'd wager it takes atleast a few months and maybe even a year. We can safely say that 500,000 subscribers probably will not have a reason to buy BC for a while and that upwards of 2.5 million may [emphasis], not for a few months. Correct me if I am missing something here.
