Blizzard has never been shy about its penchant for numbers ending in –llion, but this probably shouldn’t be possible.
During a GDC panel last week, Blizzard designer Jeffery Kaplan claimed that WoW players tear into 16 million quests per day, as though possessed by some deep-seated, primal need for collection of tiny animal innards.
Since July 2009, Blizzard’s favorite fans have completed a grand total of 8,570,222,426 quests. Hemet Nesingwary must be a very happy man.
We’re going to go lie down now. Numbers shouldn’t be that large. It just isn’t natural.

Just wondering - since according to the article, it's post-July 2009, could you guys let me know the winning lottery numbers for the next few months? Much appreciated.

That's gotta be something in the magnitude of 4 million+ man-hours a day! I wonder what could be done with that sort of time. Hmmm let me think... never mind, gotta go do some dailies.

Hemet Nesingwary is a character found while questing in Azeroth. There's even a quest called "Where in the world is Hemet Nesingwary" if i'm not mistaken.

I don't like Microsoft, I just associate with it.
