Anyone that knows anything about MMORPGs (massive multiplayer online role playing games) is aware of Blizzard's World of Warcraft. It has something like over 4.5 million subscribers worldwide, and is turned into a bit of a juggernaut over the past year. (yes it's almost a year old!)
I mean, you know you are getitng towards the big time when the company has a conference similar to tech-ed about a game? They had like 8000 attendees at the inaugral "blizzcon".
Anyway, I know some of the readers of this site play WoW too, or at least planning too, at the conference announced the new expansion "The Burning Crusade".
I only really have one criticism that has been echoed around the net, why are blood elves horde?! (and what will the alliance race be?). Only time will tell.
BTW, I have a level 60 Paladin on the blackrock server if anyone plays on that server. (not that I get much time to play anymore).
