Blizzard Hoped to Sell a Million Copies of WoW  by Craig D at 11:41

PC
World of Warcraft Former Blizzard North employee, now Flagship Studios CEO Bill Roper told CVG is an interview the other day that Blizzard had hopes to sell 1 million copies of the game, imagine how they feel now it's sold more than 9 million!

"You have to remember," Roper continued, "that the most successful American MMORPG at that time was EverQuest with about 500,000 players. It would have been impossible to predict that World of Warcraft would take off as a cultural phenomenon as it did, but those are the kind of surprises that you like to get in life."

Still by far the best mmo on the market currently too - although that might change when Warhammer is out next year, although they obviously have a lot of work to do to match the ease of use, depth and customisation of wow. Just a shame it takes up so much time
