World of Warcraft Breaks PC Game Sales Records

Many readers have written in to mention the astonishingly fast rate of sales for World of Warcraft. From the article: "...sold through to over 240,000 customers at retailers in North America on Tuesday, November 23, selling more in its first 24 hours than any other PC game in history. ... Within the first day, over 200,000 players created World of Warcraft accounts. By 5:00 p.m. PST, over 100,000 were playing the game concurrently. These two record-breaking numbers made World of Warcraft the fastest-growing MMORPG in history." The official site also has information on an extension of the trial period for users who have experienced lag and queues.

Anyone know where I can find this info out, but about EverQuest II? It seems as though publications, reviewers, etc. seem to be pushing it aside in way of World of Warcraft. Now, how is that very respectful? Did EverQuest I not give us the MMO's we play today? Did it not blow open the genre for massive multiplayer games? Sure, we had Ultima, and some others, but EQ wasnt called EverCrack for nothing. Come on now mens and fems, give the game the rights, the respect it deserves(That does not mean you have to give it to Sony ;P ).
