Blizzard Entertainment has announced that their online RPG World of Warcraft has been a smash hit among European gamers. In the games first day on sale 280,000 units were sold, with that number rising to 380,000 by the end of the games first weekend on sale.
On the day of release 100,000 people were playing the game concurrently and over the weekend this rose to reach 180,000. Mike Morhaime, president of Blizzard Entertainment was understandably very happy with the game’s success:
“Our experience of launching World of Warcraft in North America last year has helped us to prepare for Europe by providing more boxes at launch than we had previously planned and deploying more servers from the start, which we hope will allow us to provide a smooth and fun game experience from the outset for everyone playing”
This success comes hot on the heels of the game’s massive success in North America, Australia and New ZeaLand. The game has been branded as the best MMORPG ever made by a number of leading magazines and websites and we will bring you our full review in the coming weeks.
