I recall a little bit of doubt before World of Warcraft was released. How is it that Blizzard could handle the release of an MMO game? Haha! I think all doubts are safely gone, with Blizzard making the announcement that 9 million addicts are now subscribing to their game. That would be well over $100 million per month that Blizzard is taking in… incredibly impressive.
That’s half a million more than the number of monthly players WoW had back in March five months ago. And all this before the release of the World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade expansion pack in mainland China, which Blizzard expects to give a huge increase in gold farmers, no wait they didn’t say that, they said an increase in new and returning subscribers.
