Via Wonderland, news that the (real) population of World of Warcraft is 10% female, 90% male. I’d been hoping for a more even split, given all the (clearly exaggerated) news that women were flocking to WoW. Oh well.
The9.com, the Chinese service provider for World of Warcraft, will pay $35M over three years for the rights to HellGate: London (which ships in 2007). Nice vote of confidence for a title that isn’t even complete.
