Posted by CmdrTaco on from the thats-a-whole-lotta-xp dept.

Mightydos writes " An interesting article was posted on Blizzard.com today... They say World of Warcraft® has sold through more than 600,000* units to customers in North America, Australia, and New Zealand. The fastest-growing massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) has also shattered all previous concurrency records in North America, achieving over 200,000 simultaneous players during the holiday period.

    How this compares to the sales or HL2 or Doom3?

    A quick google search shows that Halo 2 sold 2.38 million units in its first 24 hours

    I've been playing it on linux for almost a month, using WineX. Works great. It crashes occasionally but I'm betting that's my videocard's drivers' fault (ATI victim here). Otherwise, no lag what-so-ever.

    Highly recommended.
