Man I didnt know so many gamers were so boring to play such a repetitive and pointless game.

Wait, China is in first? Are you sure it's not Korea?

For a start, there are two Koreas. Secondly, assuming you mean South Korea - it has a population of 48 million. China has a population of around 1300 million

Allot of the money goes into the server maintenance aswell as the support teams i would presume.

Also the game was in the R+D phase for a longtime and the costs that went into making it were pretty huge i hear, i would guess a chunk of the cash went into the money invested into making it as it did take a few years.

However with that said - They are now making a killing with the monthly income - its beyond imaginable what the shareholders must be getting....god i wish i invested in blizzard..

Dude, they gross 1.4Bn USD per annum at 8 million users. There is no way in hell employing 1600 people and a large number of servers takes up even half of that money.

Taxes anyone?

And I don't believe they are traded publicly. Since they are owned by Vivendi, you might buy their stock, but I don't believe they are traded either.
