Please, don't bring numbers into a discussion based on the quality of a game. No, having a large player base does not make WoW a better game, because frankly, it doesn't have one.
9 Million is peanuts. Comparitively, peanuts. I mean, Maplestory has that number in Japan ALONE. Then China adds about 27 million, Korea 14 million, Global 3 million. And before you say it's not p2p, TONS people EASILY spend the same as a WoW sub monthly on 2x EXP, game items, tokens, shops, pets, cosmetics, weddings each month. Easy. Does that make it a better game than WoW? Because by your logic,
"If it was a better game, it'd be talked about more, meaning it would have more than just 500,000+ players with 1.7million characters only."
So that means Maplestory must blow WoW out of the ballpark, along with all the other games that are immensely popular in Asia like Audition, Ragnarok or Perfect World, that have way more that 9 Million subscribers.
