how many accounts? how many charas? how many unique users?

huge difference! Blizzard advertises 11 mill or something, but I am sure 5-7 are sub'd accounts...I personally have 5 accounts now, 4 are inactive...I sold a few charas off, which is why I had that many in the first place.

My numbers are just personal experience/shots in the dark.

I don't play WoW. Despite being superior to GW, it has a lot more grinding. It's a friggin' grindfest. Also, it's ridiculously time consuming. You just cant play this game casually if you really want to achieve something "epic". (no pun intended)

haha, WoW is not that much of a grindfest in comparison to other games ^_^.

Too true.
If someone made it to the top you knew they had no real life.
The words, "corpse run" still scare me.
