Just think how fucking rich blizzard is from this too
Just think how much more they can make wow suck with all that money too.
So an average WoW player plays what, 2 - 4 night a week? Let's say 3 nights a week for 3 hours each night, that's 9 hours a week. Multiply that by 9,000,000, and you have 81,000,000 man-hours wasted every week.
That's almost 10,000 man-years (9240 to be exact) wasted every week on WoW. That's something to think about!

I assume a lot of the hardcore players will do more than 9 hours a week, but we have to take into account people who don't play much. If those people exist :)

In regards to somebody only playing 3 hours a night, for any given 3 nights, that's similar to saying we should think about how many man-hours are lost while we're all sleeping!
Sleeping isn't really the same because it's a biological necessity. As such, it's not "wasted" time.

Alliance or Horde? I need somewhere to roll a Horde toon.
It's Alliance. I have a level 60 Tauren warrior, though, on Burning Blade.
Yeah, my new characters a 70 UD Mage, mostly pvp though.
