World of Warcraft passes the 9 million subs mark

PC News | Next stop, world domination.
Blizzard has today announced that its epic MMORPG, World of Warcraft, now has over 9 million subscribers worldwide. Just to put things into perspective, that's more than double the entire population of New Zealand.

WoW, as it has become affectionately known, has regularly been taking over the lives of PC gamers since it was released in 2004. Success of the game has been buoyed by the expansion, Burning Crusade, and the fact the game has been translated into seven different languages.

“We’re thrilled that gamers around the world have continued to embrace World of Warcraft so enthusiastically,” stated Mike Morhaime, president and co-founder of Blizzard. “We’ve worked hard to provide a compelling experience for our players, and we plan to continue updating the game with exciting new content for them to enjoy for many years to come.”

With that in mind, it's a safe bet that 9 million is going to keep growing well into the future.

Brutal... it cannot be stopped, does any other MMO come close?

Guild Wars and its expansions are probably close to around 3 million, what else is in the millions?
