World of Warcraft is probably the most successful game released in the past 10 ten years, if not ever. Not only has it enjoyed monstrous sales figures, but it has managed to maintain a massive active (paying) subscriber base since its launch in 2004.
It was announced in December 2008 that the game had peaked at 11.5 million subscribers, and until recently, it was not able to crack the 12 million mark. Until now, that is.
Blizzard has announced that there are officially 12 million World of Warcraft subscribers right now, and it is thought that the imminent release of Cataclysm is responsible for the increase.
“The support and enthusiasm that gamers across the world continue to show for World of Warcraft reaffirms our belief that it offers one of the best entertainment values available today,” Blizzard CEO and co-founder Mike Morhaime said in an announcement. “We are as committed as ever to taking the game to new heights, and we look forward to demonstrating that with Cataclysm in December.”
