World of Warcraft China

World of Warcraft will not be under The9 in June 2009.

So, an analyst implied that they might be stuck with 10,000 servers. I wonder what they will do with those servers.

Well, Netease will soon have WoW, but then, they are planning to buy new servers. If The9 planned to recoup the expenses they incurred from the servers in 4 years, maybe Netease will also plan 4 years to get back their money. But then, Blizzard gets a bigger royalty from Netease. Getting back their money might take a longer time.

Well, WoW is old. It's been around for quite some time now. But it doesn't necessarily mean that it will wane in popularity.

I read an article before that said if The9 doesn't release Wrath of the Lich King, then they might go bankrupt. Well, they just lost the whole game.

Mabe they are plannning a new game. Of course they have to come up with something that will be WoW's competition.
