With the launch of the Burning crusade version, the WoW subscribers and players have started to grow. As of now, the Wow community has about 9 million subscribers all over the world. Also, the subscriber base is expanding like crazy.

Initially when the WoW was released, there were a few problems that were mostly server related and performance oriented. With time and updates, these problems went away making this game the most popular multiplayer ever made.

Coupled with the launch of the new version and the shattering of sales records, Blizzard's WoW has achieved major milestones. I think this is indeed an exciting time for the Blizzard Entertainment. Hopefully, there will be more cool versions coming up.
