We've actually been over 150k for sometime but I was waiting for the 50,000 account milestone before I said anything. It's amazing we still get many account creations off WoWStatus.

Congrats on the milestone and thanks everyone!

Great work and I cannot wait until overall you get such a big base you will need an external drive just for accounts!

No we need people to delete their unused characters. But on a large scale. Accounts take up almost no room since, they are just text. But with characters, lines and lines and lines of text per one character, all the spells you learn are placed into entries, etc. So the characters is about 5GB of text in the database.

I really need to pay someone to develop that really long prune script to delete inactive accounts and characters of five months but I don't know if I'll ever get around to it.
