Written by Daniel Vlad   
Thursday, 09 November 2006

The9 (Nasdaq: NCTY), the Chinese gaming company that operates World of Warcraft (WOW) in China, is set to report earnings on November 15. Since The9 relies on WOW for 99.9% of its revenues, an assessment of the WOW's usage trend is essential for estimating the company's revenues.

To track WOW utilization we have developed software to periodically acquire the user load levels for all individual Chinese WOW server groups. Each server group hosts a virtual mini-world and at the end of the third quarter The9 was operating 273 such WOW worlds. We analyzed the data using our internally developed methodology which allows us to obtain a time-evolving picture of the game usage and important metrics such as the daily average concurrent user (ACU) and the peak concurrent user (PCU) numbers. We constantly improve our models by taking advantage of the ACU and PCU numbers reported by The9 each quarter.
