it's a very good game. excellent reviews and strong word of mouth recommendations.
throw an eight figure marketing budget, brand loyalty and a good deal of MMO hype into the mix and you've got yourself a metric ****ton of subscribers.

Hmmm, what is the population structure of europe as a whole who are children, as of what we know, most WoW immature players are children, so the larger amount of children want primary colours and nightelfs giving BJ's to gnomes... Were the smaller older aged portion is not really gaming, for obvious reasons, as they have jobs, children and more pressing issues to tend to rather than games. But that is a one sided opinion, as 200,000 players in EvE are probably like 18+
i think the average age for WoW players was something like 22-28.
did you ever play WoW beyond the free trial?

Yes, I got to lvl 50 twice.
then you never really played WoW - most of the content beyond deathly dull NPC missions was in the endgame. I'm sure it's changed now, but in the first year after release it was simply a couple of weeks grinding 60, followed by a few months farming epics in MC, then BWL, then PvP rank.
Surprisingly, this was all good fun the first time around.

A huge portion of those people are not, I repeat are not 22+... Maybe a few 40 year olds, but 80% are children
honestly, you're wrong.

wanna bet?
also (and don't take this personally) but if you're 15 i'd consider you a child, which makes your assertions that WoW is played entirely by 'children' slightly mystifying, since in the entire time i played wow i didn't run into many players younger than you.

WoW role-playing is, for the most part, pretty ****.
then again, i don't know how good the general standard of roleplaying in Eve is either. Certainly some is ace, but it mostly seems to involve shouting about slaves.

Eve does not have the "his 10 higher levels then you, so there is no way you can ever hit him" kind of balancing. The difference between a 4 month character and 6 month character is slim, and even slimmer for 6 month 12 month.
The principle of diminishing returns means you cannot just rely on IG skills to pull you out of trouble, your own skills of situation assesment etc are much more important.
If you compare a lvl 40 to lvl 50 (or 50vs60)wow characters, the lvl 40 stands no chance in hell.
but that kind of level-disparate organic PvP doesn't happen very much in WoW unless people go looking for it, and the way the honour system works farming lower level characters is pretty pointless outside griefing, and there are millions of more entertaining ways to do that.
players of similar levels tend to find themselves channelled in the same areas of Azeroth by design rather than any happy accident, and the vast majority of PvP takes place in the battlegrounds anyway, which have been structured so you only ever fight against players of an appropriate level.
WoW pvp is actually really well balanced (any class issues aside, wow fans) and has far less ganking than eve, which is totally blobtastic.

Points for Eve:
- constant roleplaying
- needs some brain to be good at anything
- constant pvp (if you like it)
- Alliance warfare
- ???
- Profit
although i think it says 'selling isk' under the ???'s

Must resist...must resist...22-28? Aahhhh crap there we go. ROFLMAO! 
uuh, it is. or at least was.
my own guild had somewhere in the region of 150 members (only 90 accounts, but some were shared) and the age range pretty much straddled that figure. :lol: :roll: :etc:
