I never will. From what I have seen of WoW thus far it is well worth the investment. I aims to get the expansion soon myself as goblins are really looking to be a fun race to play.John Funk said:

It's okay, when you grow up you'll realize that hating things just because they're popular doesn't actually make you look cool.
Not only are they already buying it, they intend to carve their logo on in such that it can be seen on earth, and they also intend to exile anyone who doesn't play wow from the earth to work on this project.Lawnmooer said:
Seriously the only thing that will come close to this record is going to be the next wow Expansion.
For years now Blizzard has been triumphing their own records as far as these sales go.

Wait the China server (5.5 million players) have not up date to Cata yet. That means the 3.3 million sales is only in EU/US/KR/TW servers which have only a total of 6.5 million players...
What if China launch Cata at the same time? Wouldn't that beat Black ops in terms of unit solds?
If same % of China player buy the game on the first day (which is more than possible, China always has been big on WoW). Then that would be 6.1 million sold in 24 hours, while Black Ops sold 5.6 million in 24 hours.
WoW China website: http://www.warcraftchina.com/index.html <-- still Warth of the lich King.

Just as the news post says, unsuprising: Blizzard has become the top mentioned gaming developers, and World of Warcraft is their most successful title.
I vote expansion four will beat Cataclysm.

Well. You know about the Man in the Moon, right?Lawnmooer said:
I hear that by this time next year, we'll be calling it the Orc in the Moon.
Blizzard will be buying the world soon, I presume? Do all their employees get handed a suitcase full of money upon employment?
OT: I'm not that surprised. I've only been playing since October, but the game is well worth the investment.

So at a rough guess& with a bit of simple math this expansion brought in Blizzard roughly around $155million dollards in one day // So that's he budget for 'World of Worldcraft: Rise of the Lich King' movie safely set away

And my $92 was a part of that, at 12:09 on launch day. I'm not sure if I should giggle about this or be ashamed.
At first I thought 'biggest selling' not fastest selling, and I for the life of me couldn't work out how and expansion could outsell the original game.
While I'm no fan of the paid for services like name changes, class changes, pets, mounts etc, so long as they never stray into giving people actual in game advantages for cash, I'm fine with them giving people an option.
If you've not played both original WOW and Cataclysm WOW , then you just have no idea how wrong you are to say they've just dumped some lava on a few maps and charged people another $30. I was looking forward to Cataclysm as I enjoy the levelling more than the endgame, and I've been so pleasantly surprised by how much they've packed into this, so much more content than I expected.
I expected a lot of the Azeroth zones to be shaken up and look different, sure, I didn't expect them to pretty much throw the whole original game in the trash and rewrite nearly every zone with new quests, npcs, etc.
On top of that, after 6 years, they're still making big changes to balancing the game and making it more user friendly.
This isn't a case of Simon Cowell backed karaoke singer gets to number 1 cos he's well funded and popular, but lacking in talent, its more a case of someone pouring money into a talented band so they can be the best they can be.
Popular fads fade, people wouldn't still be with wow years down the line if it sucked.
Of course, you're welcome to hate WOW, whether you've tried it or not (and damn, the limits on the demo are stupid and its no wonder so many people quit after trying it), but, I like it and I consider the £10 a month a bargain compared to one PS3 game a month, which I'd hope would captivate me for four weeks solidly.
