I couldn't help but notice that the number of MMORPG subscripers is 13Millions, and WoW has 6 Millions account, which is almost half of the whole market, wow for WoW.

nah, I seriously doubt it:

That presentation looks like it was cobbled together. Even the English is bad in places, making it seem like it was an Asian writing it, like English is a second language. That wouldn't be the case if this was written by North American business folks.

And since when does America refer to itself as "western"? That's what Asians call North America, not North Americans. We say Canada or the US or Mexico.

Sorry to shoot holes in the concept, but there seems to be a few too many holes in it already...

Except for the singular fact that it's hosted on the SEC website. That would be the Securities and Exchange Commission, head honchos of administration of interstate commerce and other general oddities of the US financial landscape. 'Tis real.

The only problem is that Interplay has been nearly insolvent for more than 2 years now, and they're in massive debt, with multiple lawsuits yet to fight. I seriously doubt that they have, or can hire, sufficient game-making talent to even attempt such a game, let alone try to maintain it or administer it (given the enormous initial costs of setting up an MMO, and Interplay's current financial situation, I dont' think the banks are too keen to loaning them startup money).

Still, all life would cease to exist if it were true.
