Complete graphical overhaul of the engine?
Eurogamer - May 19, 2008
Submitted by MsRonja (2529) at 2:13PM PST on May 19, 2008
J. Allen Brack: That's actually something we talk about every expansion. It's interesting, two games have really tried that before, Ultima Online tried it and EverQuest tried it as well, and in each case it was only somewhat successful.

So in that scenario that subscriber should only ever count as one sale. Canceling and renewing is not another sale, never suggested otherwise.
Understanding the digital/retail split would be interesting, especially in the PC space but I don't think TSE has the bandwidth to add more markets or dramatically reconfigure existing ones right now. For the time being, current GLS stocks should include all sales, retail or otherwise and that's the way it should be.
Given the even greater scarcity of digital download sales information, tracking them might encourage interest in TSE again and be a possible oppourtunity for KoC. Worth thinking about, IMO.[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 291 ]

WoW has definitely sold more than 11.84 million units. There were still 11.5 million subscribers in February 2010.
The reference notes that 70% of WoW trial players quit before level 10. I have not seen what portion of players quit before level 70, but that statistic would weigh heavily on the purchases of WoW: Lich King, which is entirely late game content.
