Blizzard's "major announcement" is but mere weeks away

[oldmandennis]

Most MMO developers have a breakpoint below 100k concurrent active subscribers where the game is still profitable. 100k-120k subscribers is the point where expansions usually start becomming profitable.

Adding 1 milion subscribers would make things very profitable, unless they can't manage their funds for some reason.

I doubt blizzard works that way. MMO developers don't grow on trees, and every competent one they can get their hands on is already working on WoW (and some of the incompetent ones). You can't just duplicate the leadership, and the leadership that has any MMO experience is tied up.
