Blizzard Employees.. No I don't mean snow.

Question, how much are they paid to dress up like WoW Races?

[Harmonic]

Probably not enough to cover the psychiatrist bill.

I thought it was fans that dressed up for Blizzcon?

And Blizzards paying rate(Well, for GM's) is 25,000 Euro per annum. Which is absolutly shocking.
But anyway.

[Bishnak]

Not really. Monthly fee, 15 bucks?

Let's count 8 million out of the reported 10 as I'm sure they're counting inactive accounts as well when presenting those numbers.

8,000,000 x $15 = $120,000,000. A month. And that's just for monthly fees, and not counting the remaining $30 mil for the supposed 2 mill more players. Add Starcraft fame, Diablo-series, etc. CHING-CHING!

Granted WoW probably costs a lot to run, but I'm pretty sure Blizzard higherups all have swimmingpools filled with $100-bills in their backyards.

Woah. 25 000 Euros just to go around poofing in front of people, continuously asking you to delete your WTF folder or reinstall WoW. Damn.
