Man, some folks are really touchy. Why is that? No one here has expressed any negative feelings toward Americans playing. The original post was just wondering about the demographics. It is an interesting question. This game is not advertised heavily anywhere, US included. So it is interesting to consider why more Americans play. It doesn't matter where the game was invented or where it is hosted. Battlefield 1942, for example, was written by Scandanavians, and still it has a lot more Americans playing it than from other countries. Also, as noted, there are *a lot* of Asians who play online gaming (like South Koreans), including US-invented, US-hosted games (like WoW). In that case of AH, there must be some sort of predisposition toward it here that is not as strongly present elsewhere.
