Blizzard Entertainment have announced a new milestone for their award-winning time-pit, World of Warcraft. Over nine million people now pay a monthly fee for their fix, placing Blizzard on top of an ever-growing mountain of cash…and with the Burning Crusade expansion yet to be released in China, there’s plenty of growth still on the cards.
Blizzard co-founder Mike Morhaime is justifiably chuffed:
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.

In stark contrast to the stereotypical politician, eager to associate video games with violent crime and many other of society’s ills, Senator Ray Tenorio of Guam is just eager to get home and start raiding with his World of Warcraft guild, the Knights of the Marianas.
Cutting his teeth in Diablo II, he switched to WoW in November 2005 with encouragement from his brother Charlie, who was playing with a guild who needed a healer.
Tenorio said the following to Pacific Daily News:
What I like about World of Warcraft is it’s a great way to be able to reach out and connect with other people. So many different people play - attorneys, accountants, geeks, … all kinds of people.
What makes World of Warcraft so alluring is that it’s always reinventing and adding new content. There’s always something new to come back to.
