World of Warcraft Overview & BC

When World of Warcraft launched 7 years ago, hardly anyone expected to see the level of success it has today. As of February 2010, over 13 MILLION people world wide are enjoying this MMO phenomenon. Moreover, returning subscriber aren't far behind.

With more and more people playing World of Warcraft, Blizzard has been challenged with the task of keeping old players interested (and paying their subscription fees) while now bombarding new addicts with an overload of information and options.

Their first expansion, Burning Crusade, introduced a whole new land to the world of Azeroth: Outland. Upon launch, millions of players flocked to the gate (located in the Blasted Lands zone) to challenge a giant demon and gain entry to this new world. It offered new quests, new cities, new races, and a level cap of 70 (up from 60). But before long, players had conquered this new world and were hungry for more.

Stay tuned for tomorrow's post: World of Warcraft: WotLK.
