WOW's 10 year anniversary stats

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of World of Warcraft this year, Blizzard released the above stat page on different aspects of Azeroth. It shows some impressive numbers. I know there are not a lot of WOW fans here (okay maybe just me) but it's hard to deny how incredible some of these stats are.

More WOW characters created than there are people in the United States? Wow, that's nuts.

2.8 million trades (per day) in the auction house. Geez

I've played WOW for a while and I think it's a great game, but I think I'm more fascinated with the phenomenon that it has become. Seriously, hats off to Blizzard for making a game that has captivated people for a decade. Amazing

Yeah. Even though the only MMO I play these days is Star Trek Online, it's pretty much impossible to deny Blizzard's achievement.

Kind of crazy to me to think it's been out for ten years. We are getting old. Also crazy that I've never played the game, but yeah, it's definitely a phenomenon. I think it's interesting that economists and psychologists and all this actively study the game as a kind of microcosm of human nature. That's kind of crazy, too.
