So... they only sold 3.3m copies, but have over 10 million subs. So two-thirds of the playerbase is still farming Siege of Orgrimmar, apparently.
Also interesting is that subs increased by 2.6 million, which means only 700,000 players that were subscribed since September actually bought the expansion.
Those numbers still seem greatly inflated, though, and if you look at the fine print it says they include key distributors; so if a place like G2A bought a million keys from Blizzard but has only sold 100 of them, it would still be reported as a million subs.

A key doesn't count as a sub, unless there's gametime attached to it which is only the case for the base game. Also they mention internet cafes where one bought key is played by x amount of people - which has alsways been like that.

hmm would definitely like an explanation for the difference between 3.3m and 10m...does that really mean 6.7m people are actively subscribed without WoD? 3.3m and ~3.5m would be much more believable.

Well, example of one - I reactivated my sub last month to try and level up enough to get into SoO at least once before the expo hit but have held off on purchasing WoD as I can't really afford to be distracted from work atm Will probably just get it next week...
Normally I would have guessed that there are plenty of casuals who are below max level and are just leveling before getting the expo, but they plugged the insta boost to 90 so hard, in every ad, it's hard to imagine anyone hesitating on that account.
In any case, it's nice to see overall numbers so high. This expansion must have really struck a chord somehow.

Certainly explains all the server issues.

" Blizzard Entertainment today announced that as of the first 24 hours of the expansion’s availability, more than 3.3 million copies had sold-through† and the game’s global subscriber base had passed 10 million, with growth across all major regions."
What i get from this is that 3.3 million copies were sold after the launch of WoD (November 13), so they are not countrin "pre purchase" of the expansion in this numbers.
So that could mean that probably the other 7 million or less got WoD already before that.

Are people enjoying this expansion so far? How far has combat come along since mists release?

It is rather lulzy. Had a prot warrior who topped DPS charts today in a heroic Auchindoun.

Exactly. It's still missing Korea, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and apparently the last 5 days.

Either your group was rather weak or the prot warrior was gladiator. As said above, its one of the most dealing dps spec right now in the game. Think it tops Warrior dps easily as well.
