Wrath of The Lich King has made a history in the gaming industry for being the fastest selling PC game ever. We are all expecting to hear news with titles such as ’5 millions in 30 days’ or something similar soon.

2.8 millions in the first 24 hours is definitely a record breaking event. Even The Burning Crusade can’t beat the new record. Of course, most WOW fans have been anticipating the release of this new expansion and everyone can’t wait to get hold of this expansion.

Therefore, 2.8 millions of WOW fans got their copies within the first 24 hours and the numbers keep on increasing with no sign of stopping anytime from now.

Wrath of The Lich King is indeed an excellent expansion and even though it is still new, but it won’t take a long time for the fans to master the game expansion. However, if you need help perhaps you should take a look at the selection of Wotlk guides that can help you learn and master the game faster.

With such an overwhelming response from the fans, there is no doubt that Blizzard will continue to work on new expansions and keep on making big bucks.

New Pictures Release From Blizzard]]> http://topwowlevelingguides.com/blog/new-pictures-release-from-blizzard/feed 1 Wrath of The Lich King Is Out, What Next? http://topwowlevelingguides.com/blog/wrath-of-the-lich-king-is-out-what-next http://topwowlevelingguides.com/blog/wrath-of-the-lich-king-is-out-what-next#comments Thu, 13 Nov 2008 06:30:00 +0000 admin http://topwowlevelingguides.com/blog/wrath-of-the-lich-king-is-out-what-next Read more]]> Finally, Wrath of The Lich King is available in the market (US and some other countries as well as the European countries who launched earlier) and there are a few breaking news:

First of all, if you are getting the expansion in GameStop, US, you might want to bring cash instead of using credit cards because of some issues regarding to credit cards usage. Otherwise, you will end up wasting your time the whole day at the store.

Secondly, Blizzard has given one extra day to play World of Warcraft because of the in game mail problems, forum issues and the downtime on the main site. It is not a very good situation for Blizzard as in conjunction with the release of the new expansion, more people are going to check it out.

Thirdly, there has been a bug in the Dark Knight’s creation. Although it is unsure of how this bug problem came to be, but there is a quick solution to that problem. You just need to create a new level 1 character on that server and then you can create your Dark Knight without any problems.

Last but not least, “Wrath of the Lich King will be playable at 9:00pm PST on all North American and Oceanic realms.”

This is perhaps the most important news of all, as so many people can’t wait to get their hands on the game.

Still, don’t forget to get the leveling guides for WOTLK!

You can still feel the sensation about Wrath of The Lich King and the best part is you can still get the copy if you are a late bloomer. It is never too late.

Now, those in Europes would be enjoying their game at the moment since they get a head start before anyone else in the world. It is official that they have gone live and wild, perhaps?
