Irvine, Calif. – March 18, 2005 - Blizzard Entertainment today announced that World of Warcraft, its massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), has surpassed the 1.5 million subscriber mark, underscoring the game's continued success around the world. Building on its record-breaking debuts in North America, Korea, and Europe, World of Warcraft has reached global peak concurrency – the number of subscribers playing at the same time in each market – of more than 500,000 players.

	Jesus H Christ, that's £12 Million a month. That's a serious amount of cash. I certainly hope they are gonna put some of that back into the game

	Aye its a pity, just means more companies will make shallow shite for profit. Shite games are the mainstream unfortunately, people just cant get enough of them, so why bother making a decent one. They will probably bring out a Warcraft version of Golf soon, and make money from that also.
