IRVINE, Calif. - November 20, 2008 - Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. today announced that World of
Warcraft ®'s second expansion, Wrath of the Lich King
™, has sold more than 2.8 million copies in its first 24 hours of
availability*, making it the fastest-selling PC game of all time. This eclipses the previous record
of nearly 2.4 million copies sold in 24 hours, set in January 2007 by Blizzard's first World of
Warcraft expansion, The Burning Crusade ®. Wrath of the Lich King was
simultaneously released in North America, Europe, Chile, Argentina, and Russia on November 13;
Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand on November 14; and South Korea and the
regions of Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau on November 18.
In celebration of the launch, more than 15,000 stores throughout the world had their doors open at
midnight to welcome thousands of expectant players. Several of these locations were attended by
Blizzard Entertainment representatives, who met players and signed copies of the game.
"We're grateful for the incredible support that players around the world have continued to show for
World of Warcraft," said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. ”Wrath
of the Lich King contains some of the best content we’ve created for the game so far, and we
look forward to seeing even more players log in to experience it in the days ahead."
"After a single day of availability, Wrath of the Lich King is already the bestselling PC game of
2008 at GameStop and ranks as one of our top-selling products so far this year," said Bob McKenzie,
GameStop’s senior vice president of merchandising. "In keeping with the tradition established
by their previous releases, Blizzard Entertainment has again created a product that not only
reflects their high standards of quality but is clearly an instant hit with gamers around the
country."
Prior to the launch of Wrath of the Lich King, World of Warcraft’s subscriber population had
grown to more than 11 million players, further strengthening its position as the world's most
popular subscription-based massively multiplayer online role-playing game. More information about
the new expansion can be found at the official Wrath of the Lich King website: www.worldofwarcraft.com/wrath |

 TV shows like "The Hills" focus on the petty squabbles that go on in the world of
spoiled, vapid socialites. I can't think of a program that gets into the catfights that go on in
the IT world, and I don't know whether there'd really be a huge audience for something like that,
but they do happen, and court documents in an ongoing lawsuit have revealed some juicy tidbits. The
class-action suit concerns the promises made by some PC makers that their computers -- even some
really weak-kneed models -- could shoulder the weight of Microsoft's latest operating system,
Vista. |
