Thats right £382,924,658.58... this is what they make from the $8.99 a month we all pay.. The tv ad says they is 7 million players, so here is the math...

7,000,000 * $8.99 = $62,930,000 (a month)
$62,930,000 * 12 = $755,160,000 (a year)

$755,160,000 = £382,924,658.58

So tell me why does this game have laggy servers????? where does the money go????

Not to mention the price of the game .... £15 - £30 from each player then then money from the expantion.... Dam they got some explaining to do...

While the concern of realm stability and maintenance is surely valid, please refrain from calculations based on pure speculation. Several of the replies point out major faults in the first post, and I can add that the payment methods and fees are not the same around the world.

Closing this. Feel free to continue the discussion in a new thread (or one of the others already existing), but keep it to known factors or at least keep an open approach when not sure.

Thank you.
