$150,000,000/month and they lose several dozen servers at prime time?

[elo]

$150,000,000/mon

Why, after three years, do people still make assinine comments like this?

learn2math / learn2bussinesexpensive / learn2figureout that asian WoW players pay a LOT less than USA / EU WoW players pay.

/sigh

I'd appreciate it if you'd read the post and not immediately assume from the first line that I'm all QQ about losing an hour of play time. You made some points that I didn't know and that's what the post was for, but I don't understand why you had to be rude about it.

I'm curious of the entire operation and how it works. It's clearly a truly massive undertaking and I'd just like to know the logistics. I want to know as much as I can about it because it directly relates to my career. For instance I read that they've got some 2400 customer service reps and 130 developers dedicated to WoW. I'd really like to see how they handle the servers. What kinda hardware to they run on, how's load balancing performed, do they virtualize them or run on the bare hardware etc. Sure they keep most of this info close to their chest but from time to time they do let little tidbits out and that's what I'm interested in.
