"World of Warcraft, a multiplayer role-playing game, has reached a major milestone. According to game developer Blizzard Entertainment, the game now has over five million players worldwide. The subscription-based offering launched about a year ago in North America, Australia, and New Zealand, and also has been introduced in Europe and Asia," reports Newsfactor.
"Yankee Group analyst Michael Goodman said World of Warcraft took the online gaming market by storm in a short time. 'It has global appeal, unlike most games that do well in either Asia or the U.S. but typically not in both regions,' he said."
