Warcraft Bigger than Countries

World of Warcraft has now officially gone past the 9 millionth subscriber - elevating maker Blizzard into an astronomical position - virtually having a licence to print money.

The size of WoW is now bigger than the 90th ranked country in the world. The size of the World of Warcraft subscriber base is expected to grow rapidly in China now - with Blizzard and Chinese partner The9 ready to release expansion package The Burning Crusade into the country.

The World of Warcraft was released in November 2004 and surely Blizzard must be stunned by its continued popularity - continuing to grow years after release. The expansion packs continue to keep the game interesting and surely Blizzard will continue to release and ship new addons for WoW regularly.
