Everquest was better than WoW ever has been/will be, and there will be no mmorpg that will ever be better than EQ because of what WoW has turned them into.

I'm pretty sure I've done this comparison before...but I might as well bring it up again. Also, the amount of time the Average WoW player puts in compared to the Average COD player puts in is going to be hugely different.

13 million users on Xbox live; probably paying for a one year subscription at $59.99 (Current price @ Futureshop.com)--> Yearly Revenue of $779,870,000.00

Compared to WoW; 14 million users paying $39.99/2 months, or $239.94 per year. Yearly Revenue of $3,359,160,000.

Keep in mind that this is VERY VERY basic math and doesn't take into account any of the operating expenses, but that's a pretty big difference.

EDIT--> I recall reading some where on a press release from Blizzard that SC2 Beta is coming next year, possibly in the Fall.
