Where is the discrepancy between 13 million subs and 5 million copies sold?

This may come as a huge surprise to some, but not everyone rushes out to get the xpac right away. I know people who are still playing with just the first box.

Lets say 2 million people just started playing. That's still a difference of 6 million. After 4 weeks are there really 6 million people paying their sub and not lvling past 80?

While admittingly odd, it's still not unheard of. Like I said, I myself know people still playing just original wow.

Possible reasons as to why:
~ People just don't have the money right now.
~ People want to wait till after school.
~ They want to wait till the first major patch is out.
~ They don't care to buy it yet.

This list could go on and on.

I'm part of the "big brother" thing on the wow forums. People that don't mind setting aside some time to assist new players and teach them a few things.

That and I like talking with the people on my server.
