Wrath of the Lich King was released on November 13, 2008, selling 2.8 million copies within the first 24 hours of availability. Wow! No pun intended. This makes it the fastest selling computer game of all time, beating the record set by the previous World of Warcraft expansion The Burning Crusade, which sold 2.4 million within its first 24 hours.

With more than 11.5 million monthly subscribers, World of Warcraft is currently the world’s largest MMORPG in those terms, and holds the Guinness World Record for the most popular MMORPG. In April 2008, World of Warcraft was estimated to hold 62% of the massively multiplayer online game (MMOG) market.

Will there ever be a game globally as popular as the WOW series? I don’t know!
