One million concurrent connections set record in WoW
Filed under: World of Warcraft, Fantasy, Academic
Amid unfounded allegations that these were all gold sellers, the fact of the matter is that gold sellers go where the money is: the European and North American servers. Regardless, this new record is quite a feat and we now anxiously await the next record-breaking event. Most random duel requests in a second? Most uses of the word "noob" on one server? We shall see.

Maybe Linden Labs should seriously think about hiring one or more of WoW's engineers away. They have massive problems at just 60,000 or so simultaneous logins.

Your clever comment about gold farmers got me wondering: if a person in China logged onto a US server (gold farmer or not), did he count towards the million? That is, are we counting people on Chinese servers or people whose connection originates in China?
Not that it matters, just wondering.
