2 Million Azeroth Citizens

Posted by Zonk on from the zug-zug-zug-zug-zug-zug-zug-zug dept.

Gamasutra (and everyone else) has the news that World of Warcraft has hit 2 Million subscribers, making it the first U.S. based commercial MMOG to do so. From the article: "The most popular current MMORPGs in Asia are generally developed locally, but if World of WarCraft proves popular in China, as well as other soon to be launched territories such as Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau, it could quickly become the most globally popular online game in history. "

    China will probably ban it like Google.

    Or, in your case, World of Whining. On Stonespire (or spirestone, whatever it is) I have none of these issues. Low population pvp server. The longest wait I've ever had for the BG was 30 minutes on a saturday at 1pm.

    You're complaining about issues that were addressed already. If your server is so full you have to wait to log on, you can transfer your character to another server.

    Not a Twitter sockpuppet... but I wish I was.

    Battleground queues are insane on most servers. People have been waiting 15 hours on some servers just for the chance to play!
    Only for Alliance. It's not Blizzard's fault you selected Easy Mode. For the Zerg!
