The Lich King, seen here thinking about wrath.
As the run up to Wrath of the Lich King's release nears a close and people everywhere start fiending for all of the content they've been playing in the World of Warcraft expansion's beta to get out onto the real servers, Blizzard dropped a press release to just let you know that they continue to "run thangs."
Over 11 million people are currently subscribed to the game. That's a worldwide number, including Russia and Latin America, which were recently added to the "let's never go outside again" family of World of Warcraft lovin' locations. The last announcement of the game's player base came back in January, when the company posted 10 million players worldwide, with over 2.5 million of those coming from North America.
Wrath of the Lich King will hit "several regions" on November 13. Not to be an armchair analyst or anything, but I bet that thing will sell pretty well. You heard it here first.

I was one of the lucky ones ,I was there from the start for aroud 3-4 months and its an extremely fond gaming memory due to the atmosphere of half of britxbox.co.uk joining up and making a guild whilst discovering everything that was new,but i'm done with that game now and I can't ever see me going back without getting bored in a matter of minutes.
I never understood why they don't do a 360 or PS3 version.
Guild wars would make a superb console RPG and it's about time console got some online rpg goodness.

From what I understand, they only count current active accounts in the numbers they use for press releases.

There are too many other great games out now to bother playing this constantly anymore.
I'm happy to say I haven't logged into a WoW server for over a year now.
