Ok, where are you getting your information, except from pulling it out your arse? "VERY VERY small" and "try it for a few months to a year then quit" are not arguments unless you can show where it came from. Stop exaggerating the turnover rate of WoW compared to EQ/FFXI. It kept far more players, for far longer.
