WoW subscribers now nine million strong

Blizzard is happy to announce that its heavily-acclaimed MMO video game World of Warcraft has reached a new milestone as the total number of subscribers worldwide had already surpassed the nine million mark. Blizzard clarified that the tally includes existing subscribers only and not those who were banned or who have stopped playing entirely.

Blizzard Entertainment President and Co-founder Mike Morhaime had this message, “We’re thrilled that gamers around the world have continued to embrace World of Warcraft so enthusiastically. We’ve worked hard to provide a compelling experience for our players, and we plan to continue updating the game with exciting new content for them to enjoy for many years to come”.

When the first expansion – The Burning Crusade – was released, the number of sales totalled an unprecedented 3.5 million around the world. One has to take note that 2.4 million of those were sold during the first 24 hours. Currently, Blizzard is planning to launch the expansion in mainland China with the help of The9.

Everyone has to admit that despite the issues and problems being confronted by WoW today, it changed and revolutionized the face of MMORPG gaming. Kudos to Blizzard in its success and we hope that they continue looking out for their user base.
