Recently, a statistic shows that total 11.5 million people are World of Warcraft players. That is really an astonishing number which marks a new milestone in MMO industry!  However people are not supersized because World of Warcraft, deserves this honor, especially after the release of an expansion, especially one as widely hyped as Wrath of the Lich King which broke a few records of its own.

This number of subscribers haven’t spiked because World of Warcraft keeps gaining new subscribers all time. Gamesindustry.biz has a quote from Senior VP of merchandising at GameStop Bob McKenzie, indicating that it's not just Wrath of the Lich King doing well. The base WoW package and the World of Warcraft Battle Chest are still doing quite well. Better than last year, he specifies. So while those base package purchases are certainly fueled by the Wrath hype, it's bringing in new customers, not just the returning customers.

Deeds prove that World of Warcraft is and will be the best online game now and future. It may not be the kind of game for every gamer out there, and the game isn't without its flaws. Whatever, we are expecting its bright future.
