r/WoW has hit 1 million subscribers!


We have joined the rarefied club of subreddits with over 1 million subscribers! Our celebratory banner image was done by u/lolpancakeslol, who is amazing. Thank you very much!Blizzard, Reddit, and our Moderators are going to be teaming up to provide some celebratory prizes for members. We'll be doing this celebration in May, so keep your eyes open for a contest where you can win many digital prizes! A huge thanks to Blizzard and Reddit for their help with providing various prizes, including a huge bunch of Reddit coins to be handed out.We're hoping to allow some of the newer accounts to meet the requirements that we typically set for contests; by putting some time between hitting 1M and having the celebration, more people should be eligible. Consider yourself fairly warned - you'll need to be a member in good standing here, have positive overall karma, and have made a post here at some point in the last six months. If you don't meet those requirements now you probably can in a week.We're also putting off celebration until after April so that we can put more time and effort into promoting u/DesMephisto and his Charity Stream for Autism Awareness Month. If you haven't seen that yet, then check it out.To close, here are some allegedly interesting factoids about r/wow. Edit: turns out these are slightly inaccurate; I grabbed them from a third part site. Our own stat tracking is a bit more accurate (thanks /u/Ex_iledd for pointing this out):we're the 182nd largest subreddit (our near neighbours are r/youseeingthisshit and r/NoStupidQuestions)we make about 2400 comments per day, which is about 108th most active for comments over 5000 comments per daywe make about 188 posts per day, which is about 232nd most active for posts 218 submissions per daywe're 11th overall for how likely you are to get gilded for a postwe've been a community for almost 11 years, having been created Monday June 9, 2008We've displaced MidWeek Mending so we can feature this and the Crucible of Storms World First Megathread.
