The release of World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria has caused the game's subscriber numbers to climb back over the 10 million players mark.
It’s been gratifying to see the results of all of the work we put into this expansion and to hear all of the positive feedback from players so far.
When Blizzard last revealed how many subscribers its MMO behemoth had back in August, we found out that the number of players had fallen to 9.1 million. That all seems to have been reversed now though, with the company reporting sub numbers are once again rising towards the level we saw back in March.
Blizzard also revealed that 2.7 million copies of the game were sold in its first week between September 25 and October 2. As the game didn't release in China until after this period, the 2.7 million figure refers to copies sold elsewhere in the world.
Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime said, "It’s been gratifying to see the results of all of the work we put into this expansion and to hear all of the positive feedback from players so far."
World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria adds a range of new features to the game including the Pandaren race and the new land of Pandaria, as well as a raised level cap of 90.
