Hot on the heels of their recent announcement of 7.5 million accounts, and just when I was starting to feel left out:
Dear Adventurer,

Aww, I feel special now. My name is Van Hemlock, and I ... am actually quite indifferent about The Burning Crusade. Gosh, that feels so much better, now my secret shame is unburdened. But before you all tear me apart for being the heretic I am, consider this - because of my steely apathy, there's only going to be 7,499,998 other players 'in ur outlandz, steelin ur demonz' come The Glorious Day! I'm a goddamned hero, that's what!
Mind you, that's not to say I'm not looking forward to the day itself with great interest. I've always wanted to know what happens if everyone in China all jumped up and down at once, and this is likely to be the closest comparable example in my lifetime...
