The main screen reports 500k people on BNet.

How many are SC2 players? IIRC, numbers were ~20-40k for TFT, less for D2+BW.

But it only reports 2-3k ongoing SC2 games in the NA region, which makes me think that a lot of the 500k comes from WoW. So unless WoW doesn't count for BNET numbers, I'm not sure SC2 numbers are particularly impressive.

i'm also curious! For years i thought the 12 million were active subscribers to wow, but it turns out that's probably just total anyway.

so im curious how big sc2 is compared to mw2 and stuff!

I think that if the numbers were great enough, Blizzard would make it public.

So I guess SC2 isn't really as big as MW2 (active people at the same time)

According to SC2Ranks.com there are about 3 million SC2 accounts. And then there's still a lot of people who don't ladder. You'd say the currently online number should be a bit higher.

WoW is counted in active subscriptions, doesn't mean they all play at the same time or every day.... I had my WoW account active until march, even tho I had barely played since last august.

funny topic, the xxxxx players online number IS the current number of all sc2 players, not diablo 2, not warcraft 3, not wow, ONLY sc2.

amount of games being played in your region is your region only, total amount of games is obviously total amount of games worldwide
