Our friends at Joystiq reported on this fascinating survey by GamesIndustry.com that broke down responses from 13,000 US and EU citizens about how they spend their gaming time. While they don’t have specific numbers for World of Warcraft , the survey says [PDF link] that overall, 15% of gaming time is spent playing MMOs. US players spend about 14% of their gaming time on MMOs, while EU players range from 8% to 16% by country. In the EU, 14% of all players have played an MMO, and in the US, 21% of everyone playing games has played a massively multiplayer online game. Again, these numbers aren’t specifically for World of Warcraft (and because the survey went down to age 8 and up, they do include the vast virtual worlds aimed at children, like Club Penguin and Disney’s Toontown , which probably throw the numbers off quite a bit), but they do show the effect that WoW has had on the gaming population over the last five years. Five years ago, MMOs were definitely a niche — some hardcore gamers played them, but most people didn’t have the Internet connections to play an online game, much less pay a subscription for one. Nowadays, MMOs represent over one out of every ten minutes of overall playtime, and those numbers are only going to go up.

Our November Guild of the Month contest is still ongoing, but today is the day we unveil October’s winner. But before I do that, I want to tell all of the entrants that you shouldn’t get discouraged. We get a lot of great entries every month, and if you didn’t win in October, enter for November! If you don’t win in November, stay vigilant and enter in December. This contest isn’t going away. October’s winner, The Stonewall Family , is walking away with a $100 gift certificate from Swagdog , where you can pick up all sorts of custom guild apparel. Rather than trying to tell you about them myself, I’ll leave it up to the guild to do it. Who knows them better?

Ghostcrawler responded recently to a post asking about stat growth on items , and the results were pretty interesting. The player asked if Blizzard had any plans to cut back the stat growth on items before we reach +2000 spellpower, for example. GC had this to say: “They’re just numbers. We don’t think it starts getting scary until the human mind literally has trouble processing the digits. If your new staff has 152,420 spell power, well, yeah that’s a mouthful. But if your new staff has 4000 spell power, the only thing that can really be freaking you out is that 4000 is just a really big number compared to the 100 spell power you might be used to. Automobiles used to cost hundreds of dollars instead of tens of thousands of dollars too…. ” Well, sure, but what about in Cataclysm? With all those stat changes you guys talked about at BlizzCon , there has to be some surprises on the way when we see our first glimpse of Cataclysm gear.

Heres an article I found when surfing all about Breakfast Topic: Anticipation Syndrome

Click here to learn the secrets of making gold in WoW

Okay, I admit it: waiting for Icecrown has started to drive me a little nuts. Possibly it’s as bad as it is because this time I’m much more aware of the incoming patch than I have been for previous ones. I’ve run the new five mans on the PTR and kept up with the Quel’Delar questline and watched the raid testing on streams. Meanwhile, one of my oldest WoW friends will not shut up about Blood Elf Warriors in Cataclysm . Seriously, he will not be quiet. I’ve tried ordering him to be quiet but then he just starts nattering on about the violence inherent in the system. To a degree, all of this waiting for future patches and expansions is kind of getting in the way of enjoying what we have now. I’m starting to feel like I’ve lost track of all the current raiding and instance content and am just standing around trying to raid a dungeon that’s not even in the game yet. (And it doesn’t help with the song of Skinny the Belf Fury Warrior constantly ringing in my ears, either.) So now I turn once again to you, the viewers at home, and ask if you’re feeling anticipation syndrome or not.
