In January, we had reported that World Of Warcraft had a player base of 8 million users. Now, Blizzard has sent word that the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) has crossed the nine million mark.
Mike Morhaime is the president and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. He says, “We are delighted that gamers around the world have continued to embrace World of Warcraft so enthusiastically. We have 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.”
World of Warcraft was first released in North America on November 23, 2004. And after that the journey has been in the upward direction for the role-playing game that has become a rage all over the world.
What’s more, Blizzard has stated that at present are working with The9, which is the title’s partner in China, to prepare the game’s first expansion called The Burning Crusade that will launch in mainland China. However, Blizzard will have to tread carefully in the world’s most populous country as gamers over there were not very happy when they came to know that the bones were all fleshed out in the game.
