You guys do realize that there were 100k+ people on SC2 before shutdown. right? TBH 500k people right at the start of phase 2 makes sense. (all the previous people + preorders + more invites).

the 500k is mostly coming from the WoW community as they implemented both to bNet.

0 StarCraft II games worldwide. 0 games in your region. So is that wrong if some people are playing? o.o

IRL D: face. Hilarious.

I am still trying to download this hugenormous program. I finally managed to download the downloader client, but it's going to take forever. Not to mention another huge patch after. FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUU so impatient right now.

And after that you might have to wait 30 mins for a custom game to start! :o

And you might be mistaken. The total active subscriber count may be well over 10 million, but that doesn't mean more than 5-10% will be playing at any one time except perhaps during peak hours or certain events.
