Remember that Blizzard count all trial accounts being made aswell
Peace is a lie, there is only passion.Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.

Whilst I am playing SWTOR and gave up WoW some time ago by no means am I going to take your opinion as fact. When this game has been out a few months we'll be able to get a better picture of what state it is in. However I don't think it needs to be compared to WoW nor does it need to claim to be a WoW killer. Every time a new MMO comes out they harp on about it being a WoW killer. It's just tedious.
Help me, Bio-Ware Support; you're my only hope.

See where we are in three months and this might be impressive. I have done that with most mmo releases, but for the first time I have actually cancelled my WoW to give full time to SWTOR, so the opposite can happen too The franchise has nothing to do with it, I only watched the very first SW movie, so this is an appeal that comes from gameplay an design purely. In any case, I do not get why people think SWTOR should have more number than wow at this stage, did WoW have 12.000.000 when it was released? Nope Give it time.

the only thing that can kill WoW is WoW itself anyway. people might test out new games when they come out, but I'd say those are the ones who are already somewhat bored of WoW already and play it mostly for the friends they play with. while I never played WoW I remember a time when I played games when I didn't care about any other MMO .at all. and didn't follow news about them, just hopped into game at the end of the day and was happy to grind along ;D eventually that feeling subsided, and I started checking out the websites for new games...

WoW's subscriber numbers is super inflated by its ASIAN client, they account for nearly 80-90% of the 11millions subscribers
