Right now the queues are an inconvenience, yes, but not the end of the world.
New expacs require a sub to get into and would be part of the sub numbers.

I'll be honest and say I forgot about trial accounts and give you that one.

Hardware doesnt matter as the numbers would be about what they have at the moment anyway. If they cant get new servers to increase the hypothetical 500k cap then not much we can do about it till they do.

Can't say I care to much about their profits. If buy something from them and I can't use it do you expect me to just shrug and say "oh well"? Hell by having the numbers out there they could still get people to buy the expac and just wait on the sub til things die down. If they have to be dishonest about it they deserve to die like any other dishonest company does.
