World of Warcraft Returns to China

[Abedeus]

And then, the people of China rejoiced in the return of their favourite pastime.

By people you mean also bots that simply destroy the economy so that gold is worth nothing?

Analyst Colin Sebastian of Lazard Capital Markets estimated in late July that despite providing nearly half of the World of Warcraft user base, China accounts for only six percent of the total revenues generated by the game.

How is that even possible?

I agree, WTF? My head just exploded.

Let me put it this way.

In china WoW is dirt cheap, same with many, many things, because many people there earn next to nothing when compared to here.

And I love how they admitted (Indirectly) that AT LEAST 25% of the userbase they brag so much about having is just gold farmers XD

Ah, I see what you mean.

...And there was much rejoicing. And deaths caused by nonstop WoW-playing, but that's a small price to pay, right?
