Vivendi recently put out a press release that boasts about their massive amounts of cash flow. Their ownership of Blizzard continues to be one of their best investments as WoW sales continue to prop up the media conglomerates revenues.

Blizzard's 2007 revenues were up 58% from 2006, while Vivendi Games' other properties (Sierra Entertainment, Sierra Online, and Vivendi Games mobile) were down 29%.

2007 was the first year that Vivendi Games revenues exceeded 1 billion euros (that's about $1.486 billion USD at today's exchange rate). Proof positive that not only is WoW extremely popular with over 10 million users, it's also extremely profitable.

I'm definitely not surprised, that's for sure. In my opinion, WoW is the first MMO to become really mainsteam, and that's a large part of its success. Your average person on the street probably has at least a vague understanding of what you mean if you mention it.

Try that with EQ or something and you'd be out of luck.

With that much potential profit we should see many more MMORPG's and other online games in the next few years. Does anyone have a link to how much the other companies are making? Such as eve-online, guildwars etc.

Nobody can make sure that their accounts have not risk to be banned ,Here I would like to share some personal experiences
1. create accounts, when create the charater you can see many people who may have been built directly point to confirm, not to choose individual personalities, I am feding up to see MONK , ugly to dead, that way I may blaze my impulse to report these accounts;
2. Grades, dont mixed outside when got only lvl3, if you stroll outside with the low lever, you may easy to track by GM , especially on a large cargo of gold coins ; http://www.viccol.com
3. Exchanges, when on the game will inevitably encounter some players inqure something from you, you are sometimes to be asked buying things , the best way is ignoring them,or just reply "im sory" ;
4. Online, avoid 24-hour online,jagex likes to track these accounts;
5. Transactions.when trade with others http://www.viccol.com do ya guys both take off and bring if something ,shun giving or accepting stuffs or gold ;
6. Skills, there are so many skills, you have to practice a few more options, do not practice single skill, it is obvious to seek excessive profits of money as a single and high lever
7. Consumption, you have to play RS for such a long time, so u must have normal consumption records; dont just save gold;
8. Keys, although there is few intelligence auto, but now there is http://www.viccol.com a semi-automatic button,it also bring some risk;
Ha ha. Perhaps I said many people are aware that you may not entirely know these, maybe you dont take measures, I do only to share my experiences to new friends
