Again, you can't claim anything in terms of active players, because you literally do not know.
Played? Played what? Character, pet battles... what? If you mean number of people that have played the game, there are several games with way more than the 100+ million that WoW has.
Purchased, no idea.
History, not something I can be bothered looking into.
Publicity? Where, exactly? WoW is more popular in the West and the East.
As you said "sub-based", WoW may well be more popular. Fact is, you have no idea if that is true.
