Blizzard Entertainment has broken PC sales records by selling over 2.4 million copies during the first 24 hours of availability of their expansion World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade. According to their press release, the company sold over 1.2 million copies in North America and 1.1 million copies in Europe, and over 1.7 million users logged in the first day. The press release did not state how many of those people wound up queued for their game servers, or how much productivity is dipping during the week of the game's release. Blizzard assures gamers that have not yet purchased the expansion that more copies are shipping daily; while GameStop and EBGames made an insightful decision to just order enough copies to cover pre-orders, local Fry's Electronics stores reportedly have stacks of the game available for purchase.

BLG writes: "To celebrate the announcement of Dragonflight, the latest World of Warcraft expansion, we decided to rewatch all the game’s cinematics and rank them from worst to best. Including the latest one, of course. In fact, we purposely waited until the new expansion got announced before putting together this list because we wanted to see how the Dragonflight trailer stacked up against all the other WoW cinematics. Spoiler alert: it’s not amazing, but it's not the worst one either."
For his segment this week on BJ Shea’s Geek Nation on KISW FM; Gareth at Skewed and Reviewed looks at new updates to World of Warcraft The Burning Crusade, WWZ Aftermath, and the new Dead Space.
Great looking update here and very interested to see what they have champions of the Horde and Alliance adventuring beyond the Dark Portal in Burning Crusade Classic will soon face some of Outland’s most iconic villains when new raid content becomes available globally.
Yup. I was one of them.
Also it seems that CS 1.6 junkies always slag off WoW. Mind you they are strange little people.
