11.5 million subscribers is more than the population of:
Ireland (4,517,800)
Greece (11,262,500)
Israel (7,373,000)
New Zealand (4,294,350)
Norway (4,802,050)

So for assumptions sake, if the Alliance and Horde have roughly equal populations then they'd have a population the size of... Sierra Leone with around 5,866,000 people each.

Actually quite impressive, that!

Erm, anyway, great review Oric, I found it was quite comprehensive and it's good to know Blizzard are still keeping up their same standard of music! The only thing I can really add is, if WoW has never been that interesting to you, WotLK won't draw you in either, since it's (rightly) an expansion for fans and not unbelievers.

Fair point Bloo. But I disagree on some respects. I was once a vehement WoW hater, but as soon as I saw the content, and played it, I felt compelled to continue, because of the great interest. I'm not the prototypical RPG player (admittedly, PVP servers are not really RP-esque), and not a fantasy player. But something about WoW draws you in. If you haven't tried it, do so. If you don't like it, fair enough.

I can't tell you whether you should play WoW or not, that's for you to decide.
