WoW Lich King Midnight Release: Blizzard Makes You Their Lich

It’s Blizzard’s World, we just live in it. To kick-off their millions-strong graduation to the hard stuff (level 70 and up), Blizzard is holding midnight release parties Nov 13 in Austin, New York, Anaheim, and San Francisco, featuring developers who will sign your game, plus extra copies of the Lich King Collector’s Edition.

International events will also be held in Seoul, Mexico City, Paris, London, Berlin, Madrid, Taipei, Stockholm, and Amsterdam. Whew, sounds like a party!

Azeroth now has 11 million subscribers, which is more than the populations of Portugal, Belgium, or Hungary. That’s also more than Finland and Norway combined! Check out this page to make up your own fun facts about the World of Warcraft juggernaut. If Azeroth gets any bigger, the George Bush will have to invade it to keep the country safe from Horde terrorism.
