[bapenguin]

Blizzard (http://www.blizzard.com) sent out a press release today announcing that World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade expansion pack has sold over 2.4 million copies in North America and Europe in just 24 hours.World of Warcraft®: The Burning Crusade™ has broken the day-one sales record to become the fastest-selling PC game ever in North America and Europe, with a worldwide total of nearly 2.4 million copies sold in the first 24 hours of availability. The Burning Crusade, the first expansion set for World of Warcraft, was simultaneously released in North America, Europe, Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia on 16 January, and on 17 January in Australia and New Zealand.

The good news is Blizzard has 4 million copies available on Launch Day.

It's too bad the PC gaming industry is dying.

i said goddammmmmn

[The Continental]

In other news, heroin addicts are found to have the fiercest brand loyalty compared to any other product.

Was there any doubt that TBC would sell a shit load of copies in a really short period of time?

[Zander]

I forsee a bunch of PC gamers who do not actually play WoW and bad-mouth it at every turn, declaring a victory for PC gaming. Irony.

[markster3000]

I'm surprised that they need the qualifier "Fastest-selling PC game ever".

At 2.4 million, that's in fierce competition for fastest selling game, period.

[drakkarim]

so with all the extra farmers, i mean players, i take it the price of in-game gold must be inline with the peso these days? maybe i should re-up and buy a ton of gold and retwink my little tauren shammy.

Fantastic!

This doesn't surprise me one bit... and if it really shocks anyone out there, well, I think you've missed the other press realease talking about the rediculously high amount of active subscribers this game has.

[jamaicanrage]

Holy shit! Take THAT Lost Planet!

Nice launch Blizzard... even the servers didn't die a painful death (they did struggle on my realm however).

[kurr]

so with all the extra farmers, i mean players, i take it the price of in-game gold must be inline with the peso these days? maybe i should re-up and buy a ton of gold and retwink my little tauren shammy.

Nope. Gold is super expensive, on all the auction sites and whatnot. I used to buy 50, 100 gold here and there, usually when starting on a new server, just to have a little something to work with, but from what I understand, you can easily make 1000 gold by the time you leave the first zone of outland. They've made making money really simple.

Hell, I rerolled as a Belf Pally, and between my wife an I, we have over 150 gold, and we started with nothing and have only been playing for four days or so.

[Shjinta]

Getting gold in the xpack is ridiculous. The shatter hand orcs drop between 11-90silver So when doing the few quests that involve them you make a killing. Plus going out doing 5-10 quests filling up your bag with shit then selling everything? Christ i made 900 gold so far. Its damn simple

[Atorak]

Does anyone remember what Halo 2 sold in the first 24 hours? I guess that record has officially been shattered, correct?

[Salamande]

So when's the South Korean release? You want to see junkies jonesing for a fix...

[Maynard]

Well, all I can think of to say is WOW!

[Vandenh]

Does anyone remember what Halo 2 sold in the first 24 hours? I guess that record has officially been shattered, correct?

I think that was 3M+... Halo 2 sold 2.4M in NA alone and 3M+ worldwide first 24h.

[Borys]

PC gaming is dead.

[Franjo]

That is pretty impressive. I'd run this game on my 486sx but I lost my boot disk. Right now my DOS doesn't = UMB

[DangerousDaze]

I'm shocked to hear this news. SHOCKED I say! :p

[Mdot23]

Does anyone remember what Halo 2 sold in the first 24 hours? I guess that record has officially been shattered, correct?

I think it had sales of over 175 mill in one day, so that should be over 3 mill.

edit: make that 125 mill, according to wiki.

From Wikipedia -
"The game [Halo 2] sold 2.4 million copies and earned up to US$125 million in its first 24 hours on store shelves"

Looks like a draw to me.

[Sandman]

Only 2.4 million? What happened to the other 6.6 that play? Caught in traffic?

[Goronmon]

I don't play WoW...except for when I'm logged on my hunter or rogue or druid.

[Steele Johnson]

I forsee a bunch of PC gamers who do not actually play WoW and bad-mouth it at every turn, declaring a victory for PC gaming. Irony.

Perfect!! I see that happen all the time. The same people who bash WoW also bash consoles and praise pc gaming because so many people play WoW. lol Freakin' morons!

And congrats to Blizz for making the expansion available to the millions of people who play the game. I was actually surprised that I could walk right into my local software store and find a copy on the day it was released. Blizz definitely has their shit together... and they also have all of our money. ;)

Lets see if Blizzard will hold to their promise of releaseing an expansion pack a year.

[Atorak]

In the event of a tie, the winner goes to the mouse and keyboard.

[MijiT]

so tempted to pick this up and start playing again......must resist....arrrrrghhhh

[51|RandoM]

so tempted to pick this up and start playing again......must resist....arrrrrghhhh

Same here. I've found a brief review of the official forums an effective method to strengthen resistance.

Waaaagh! I can't 1-hit every class, I need a class review.
Waaaagh! I want the power of a specialist and the flexiblity of a hybrid.
Waaaagh! Noobs are ruining the server atmosphere.
Waaaagh! Why is maintenance always during the only 3 hours of week I can play?
Waaaagh! I spent months grinding instances for my gear and now there is better stuff that is easier to get in the expansion.
Waaaagh! I plvl'd my toon to 70 and ran out of things to do, there isn't enough highend content.
Waaaagh! You made a trivial change to my class, why don't I get a free respec?
Waaaagh! Waaaagh! Waaaagh! Waaaagh!

...and the inevitable response, QQ noob!

[Wolvie]

WoW selling good? Get the fuck out of here! :rolleyes:

If anyone thought WoW:TBC Wouldn't sell good...I feel sorry for your parents.

Quoted for awesome.

Still working on leveling my char with friends on a new server. Can't wait to hit Outland. Hoping the delay lets people move on to other zones... plz?

WOW that is a huge freaking cash cow! Viva La PC!!!

Its not going to be dead, its just going to be relegated to pay-to-play online games or indie titles.


GG all the "piracy doesnt hurt anyone" threads on this forum.

[XenonCJ]

It's a lot more alive than the stupid PS3 that's for sure...

[phantomhitman]

this is a add on right?! does that even qualify as a stand alone game? good numbers though.

It's too bad the PC gaming industry is dying.


haha, I said the same thing after reading the headline :D

Holy shit!

[phantomhitman]

you guys have 1 game franchise...

Maybe its dying but Blizzard keep it alive or not?

[Goronmon]

GG all the "piracy doesnt hurt anyone" threads on this forum.Wow, that's quite a leap you made there.

[thetinynet]

Anyone else hit lvl 70 yet?

[Steele Johnson]

More platforms means more games to play. If you're religiously attached to one gaming platform (i.e. the pc), you're really missing out on some great fun.

Wow or no Wow, pc's aren't going anywhere and there will always be games for them. We all know that, so don't worry. But being a cheerleader for the pc and shunning other gaming platforms just makes you out to be a closed-minded person. Didn't your college professor tell you to always explore different avenues? Or maybe you just didn't go to college. ;)

At any rate, the pc vs console bullshit is getting old. There are great games on all platforms, no matter how you try to spin it. :D

[Kweli]

How is PC pay-to-play any different then Xlive charging for gold & Microsoft's Micro-transaction... Shit, i gotta pay money just to change my 360 wallpaper/theme

I never have problems playing monthly for online (as long as it goes towards upgrades/fixes), although i dont ever want to be paying more then 20 a month combined

[CptTripps]

I have no desire to let blizzard suck another year of my life along with the money from my wallet. From a business standpoint though, damn they are kickin ass.

[CptTripps]

Blizzard with 6 million subscribers at 15$ a month. Sooo they are making around... 90 million a month. Those better be some damn good upgrades/fixes :)

I liked UO...

[Johan]

Come on, 21 posts into a WoW thread and still no "I don't play WoW" post? You people are slipping.

I'm late, but "I don't play Wow" :)

Some would argue that Blizzard is harming the PC industry by sucking the life out of other potentially successful franchises/games with their monster subscription hit.

However, I read at Gamespot (I believe) that PC gaming sales actually were stable or saw a slight rise this past year, which stopped a decline of a few years, so I don't know if criticism of WoW is warranted or not. I don't play it, and I don't really care either way.

[51|RandoM]

Your statment is meaningless without examining their operational costs along with the revenue.

I'm pretty sure they're not running all of this on a 286 with a USR sportster, not to mention personnel expenses.

[51|RandoM]

You'd have to provide some examples of AAA PC titles languishing on the vine because people are paying for and playing WoW instead.

Can you? I can't. :p

[Johan]

Can you? I can't. :p

Have no idea...don't really care, as I already said. I've picked that up as I've read about PC gaming. I also provided an opinion to the contrary, but you just cherry-picked from my post to argue. You're always right, 51...always. Feel better? :p /sarcasm

And quite obviously, to provide a one-to-one correlation between WoW-franchise sales and a lack of sales in a similar competitor's title would be impossible. The argument I have read is in the overall diminished sales in PC gaming as a whole, which only just last year slowed from its steady decline, or perhaps slightly increased in sales. Everyone has limited funds and time, and if PC gamers spend much of their time online with WoW, it would seem to perhaps detract from other PC titles which seek their time and money.

Either way, it matters not to me. I do precious little gaming on my PC (a smattering of RPGs).

[Magnanimous Gnome]

Well it is Blizzard, so it is called an expansion but priced like a standalone game. ;)

[Goronmon]

You'd have to provide some examples of AAA PC titles languishing on the vine because people are paying for and playing WoW instead.

Can you? I can't. :pMaybe because of the success of WoW, developers view MMOG genre as the only one worth pursuing on the PC at this point and either move to consoles or try to come up with their own offering?

Who knows, its really hard to prove stuff like this. In my personal experience, when I am engaged in a MMO like WoW, I rarely purchase other games during that time. So, in my case, WoW hurts gaming sales for both PCs and consoles.

[Loganrapp]

Good for them. I'm not a big WoW fan, but Blizzard's always got my respect.

I only hope that they won't overshadow Warhammer Online and/or Age of Conan, but then again, Guild Wars and City of Heroes seem to be doing just fine on their own, don't they?

It could be that due to WoW, more people have gaming-capable PCs. WoW could have created a larger install base, thus "growing the market". Did I just say "growing the market"? Great, now I've got marketing slime all over myself.

Great, now I've got marketing slime all over myself.I really doubt WoW is driving the masses to upgrade their "rigs" (if you can even call them that), as its always been heralded as a game that ran well on even very mediocre machines.

[digitalErich]

This is true. I wasn't trying to imply that WoW is driving the sales of the latest, high-end vid cards, but I could see people dumping in a little more RAM into their next computer or paying extra for a slight upgrade to their vid card on the next PC they buy. WoW has been around long enough to (possibly) influence people's PC purchasing decisions.

[roboninja]

I will say this; I play very few PC games now that I play WoW. I am sure that will change once I get bored of the game, but that time has not come yet. I can see the success of WoW having a negative impact on PC games overall (hell, even all games). Like someone mentioned further up, there is only a finite amount of time I have to be spent playing video games, and WoW eats most of it up. The greater numbers in overall PC game sales definitely included the sales numbers for WoW, so that has to be taken into account when looking at the larger context.

[digitalErich]

I think it's hard to say what affect WoW has "overall" as I know plenty of people who didn't regularly game before playing WoW. For every WoW player that's forsaken other games I know, there's a friend's g/f who never played games before, but now has her own WoW account.

The vast majority of WoW players fall into the casual crowd. These people have plenty of other time for other activities, whether they be other videogames or not.

[DingBat]

You're kidding, right?

One billion dollars a year pays for a hell of a lot of servers, support staff, developers, lawyers, secretaries, offices, pizza, and fritos, with plenty left over.

[gzsfrk]

I really doubt WoW is driving the masses to upgrade their "rigs" (if you can even call them that), as its always been heralded as a game that ran well on even very mediocre machines.

I may not by the typical example, but I upgrade my entire system from a P4 1.5ghz w/512MB and a GeForce MX440 to a P4 3.0ghz w/1GB and a Radeon 9800 solely for the purpose of playing WoW with all the graphics options maxed out. (And then I quit playing 2 months later... :( )

[digitalErich]

You're kidding, right?

One billion dollars a year pays for a hell of a lot of servers, support staff, developers, lawyers, secretaries, offices, pizza, and fritos, with plenty left over.
You are assuming that all the money goes back to Blizzard; it doesn't. Bandwidth costs alone are in the millions (if not tens of millions) of dollars a month for a game the size/subscription base of WoW. Also, not everyone is paying $15 a month to play the game. Sure the differences might be trivial to one player, $13 vs $15, but that adds up.

Also, people seem to foget that that a very, very large portion of Blizzard's subscribers are paying most of their money to The9, who runs WoW in the Asian markets.

Blizzard is making truck loads of money, for sure. But saying Blizzard is pulling in "X number of players times Y dollars per month" in revenue is oversimplifying it to say the very least.

[51|RandoM]

You're kidding, right?

One billion dollars a year pays for a hell of a lot of servers, support staff, developers, lawyers, secretaries, offices, pizza, and fritos, with plenty left over.

No, I'm not kidding, especially since you left out what may be their biggest expenses.

You don't know what they're burning, so you can't say there is plenty left over with any amount of validity.

Is there plenty left over? Beats me. Beats you too, until you've got real numbers to play with.

If it was easy to pull a WoW out of your ass and finance it, I think there'd be more than one WoW floating around...

As far as the PC gaming market goes, if there is anything to blame for its slow decline it is the rise of console gaming and console platforms that rival the mainstream PC for their lifespan instead of for just a year.

If you are talking about "revenue" then the formula will give you a relatively close figure (before taxes), with net income, however, you would have a point.

And along with the poster's original mention of "$90 million per month, so there better be some damn good fixes/upgrades", he's right. Everything you mentioned "servers, bandwidth, talent, etc" would be considered as an performance/experience upgrade expense in my book. He's not saying that Blizzard is banking $90 million per month in profit.

Sounds like a carbon copy of my experiences with both WoW and DAoC. I spent a heck of a lot more time with DAoC, to the extent I still remember the server I was on most of the time(Bors), whereas I can't remember the WoW server I was on and that was just a year or two ago.

Trials of Atlantis was the straw that broke it for me too. I found myself leveling a scarab vest up, got it to about lvl5 and just said no effing way am I doing any more of this.

[CptTripps]

Nah, I see where your coming from. I just don't see PC as dead. Maybe in the area of FPS they are struggling (not dead) as it's easy to port (and I actually like the controls after repeated use).

Another consideration is the age of the consumer. I'm married and cannot eat up as much time on the TV gaming as I'd like. Therefore being able to crawl to my dungeon and play when I want is a bonus. I guess I could hook my 360 to my monitor and lose 31" :(

Mine was more, "It takes how many months to complete the trials?". Standing around waiting for a giant raid group for hours is lame in itself.

The day I cancelled went like this.

"I'm gonna run to the frontier and do some RvR!!"
"Sweet, albs are attacking our keep, time for some D!!!"
"OMG, that mermaid looking stealther just attacked my thane buddy on the ramp below, I must help!!!"
*jumps down and performs 9 sec stun slam with shield*
Switch to cleaver from ice dungeon *lands two sucessfull back attack combos for a total of 4 hits of 2H brutality*
*Stealther un-stuns, killes thane, turns around and kill me in about 4-5 hits*
*Logoff, cancel subscription*

[51|RandoM]

Mehehe, before the evade nerf my nightshade killed so many warriors, mercs, and armsmen who couldn't even hit me.

Between that and my buffbot druid, I was dangerous. Cheap, but dangerous all the same.

About the trials, some of the encounters were so horribly broken I didn't even bother with master levels.

Now I didn't say the PC was dead, I just said I blame consoles for some/much of its decline.

On the monitor issue, if you sit closer to your computer display the apparent size isn't any different than your larger TV with the added bonus of increased resolution(in some cases). Pretty much holds true as long as you're not doing split-screen or PiP.

[Montgomery_Python]

WOW was the most fun game I ever played on the PC from 0-59.

Kudos to Bliz for turning out a solid game.

MORE DOTS! THROW MORE DOTS!

[Rhaze]

Level 64 and climbing.

Woo.

[ElectricMonk]

I wonder if this is the most profitable piece of entertainment ever made.

[Liquidize105]

This is starting to become a monopoly. Is there another development studios more highly regarded internationally?

The one thing imaginable that could take the fight to WoW now would be a breakthrough in MMO gaming.

[Mashidar]

I have played WoW off and on for the last 2 years. Never once have I made it to end game. My highest is level 44 Alliance. But I enjoy the game and went back two months ago just because out of most of the MMO's i've played it's been the most kind towards solo folk, and I always feel like i'm making progress.

Perhaps i'm burned on all the gamengame MMO's and Acclaim beta's that i've just see how good WoW is over them.

Warhammer is the next title i'm really hoping for. From the beta of LotR i'm afraid i'll be passing on that title.

[Kefkataran]

Huh? What? Oh, sorry. Back to Burning Crusade.

How come people have been telling me PC gaming is dead for TEN YEARS?

[saneman]

Re: Blizzard promising yearly expansions. I only bring this up because it's a common trend I seem to see across many message boards. Company says X is their goal. This statement enters the interweb version of whatever that whispers game was. Now Company "promised" X. Company has always "promised" X. So if X is not delivered precisely as X was described, then the faithful customer has been betrayed.

Blizzard didn't promise yearly expansions. They stated that as their goal. There's a difference. I'd love for them to be able to provide yearly expansions (though it'll inevitably mean a reduction in AQ and Naxx-style content updates), but if they don't I don't think anyone can fairly say Blizzard went back on a promise.

Though on the WoW general forums, 1000 threads invariably will.

Anyway, congrats to Blizzard. They did really well with BC, I only hope now the players will actually play the game (World PvP I'm looking at you - had a lot of fun so far capping and defending the points in Hellfire Pen.)

[[VSK]BadCRC]

The thing I love about BC that I feel makes it such an effective expansion was that it added content that everyone could enjoy - not just the die-hards. The inclusion of two new playable races, loads of new areas to explore, plus the new endgame instances and the altnerate world, fun. Just pure fun.

If any expansion for any game took away from it's players it'd be the expansions for FFXI, holy crap. Let's take all the people who've already wasted a year or more of their life on this sack of shit and give them more meaningless shit to do. But let's make it all end-game content, we wouldn't possibly want to attract new players to our fleeting consumer base. If we're going to bury ourselves, let's do it right god damnit.

[Kefkataran]

BadCRC, definitely a good point. There could be some more mid-level content added, but for the most part Bliz did a good job of spreading it around. And the level 60-70 stuff? Holy shit! There's SOOOO much. So many quests to do there! It's astounding.

[Chameleo]

damnit you guys are TEMPTING ME to get back into it... >_<

i think i just may partake.

any server recommendations? my biggest problem with WoW has been finding good people to play with.

[BlackPete]

Been enjoying my Draenei Shaman on the Black Dragonflight server. The new draenei starting area is just awesome -- the quests were top quality and more fun than the dwarven/human starting areas.

People keep chatting me up while I'm running around -- they want to check out my character model, and they always "ooooh" when I /dance in ghost wolf form ;)

Only thing that sorta sucks is that I'm nearing level 30, on a PVP server, and practically have no choice but to head for either STV or Southshore.... hello gankfests :(
