<p>Even Age of Conan and Warhammer Online, which have been launched as its best contenders, could not stop it! According to the announcement <strong>Blizzard</strong> has made yesterday, the active player number is now <strong>11.5 million </strong>and growing each passing day. The company is fairly content with the current status as they launched the second expansion pack, <strong>Wrath of the Lich King</strong>, on 13th November, which has broken a record by selling <strong>2.8 million copies</strong> in the following 24 hours. Blizzard is currently working on a MMO project whose name has not been announced yet, but we can absolutely tell already that World of Warcraft will not be dethroned until that time.</p>

<p>Even Age of Conan and Warhammer Online, which have been launched as its best contenders, could not stop it! According to the announcement <strong>Blizzard</strong> has made yesterday, the active player number is now <strong>11.5 million </strong>and growing each passing day. The company is fairly content with the current status as they launched the second expansion pack, <strong>Wrath of the Lich King</strong>, on 13th November, which has broken a record by selling <strong>2.8 million copies</strong> in the following 24 hours. Blizzard is currently working on a MMO project whose name has not been announced yet, but we can absolutely tell already that World of Warcraft will not be dethroned until that time.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.techsweek.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/wow-wotlk-box.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-53" title="World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Box" src="http://www.techsweek.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/wow-wotlk-box-300x169.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="169" /></a></p>
<p>The World of Warcraft expansion Wrath of the Lich King that most people have been talking about for months has added a new extremity along the older ones like &#8220;Locking up the player to itself for 24 hours without food or water and giving epileptic fits&#8221;, &#8220;Killing all the end-dungeon bosses in a week&#8221;. The game, in the following 24 hours of its launch, has sold 2.8 million copies and became the fastest selling PC game of entire time. The previous record holder with 2.4 million copies sold again was a World of Warcraft expansion pack titled &#8220;The Burning Crusade&#8221;, which had come out in 2007.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.techsweek.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/wow-wotlk-box.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-53" title="World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Box" src="http://www.techsweek.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/wow-wotlk-box-300x169.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="169" /></a></p>
<p>The World of Warcraft expansion Wrath of the Lich King that most people have been talking about for months has added a new extremity along the older ones like &#8220;Locking up the player to itself for 24 hours without food or water and giving epileptic fits&#8221;, &#8220;Killing all the end-dungeon bosses in a week&#8221;. The game, in the following 24 hours of its launch, has sold 2.8 million copies and became the fastest selling PC game of entire time. The previous record holder with 2.4 million copies sold again was a World of Warcraft expansion pack titled &#8220;The Burning Crusade&#8221;, which had come out in 2007.</p>

<p>Users using third party programs to boost their stats and positions specifically in Diablo 2 and Starcraft had their accounts closed. The prohibited accounts will not be able to use the site or game for 30 days. As soon as the penalty ends, these users will be able to open new accounts, but if the same crime is committed again, they will be banned from the servers permanently.</p>
<p>Blizzard representatives asked for the users to play fair. It was said that in order for games to be enjoyable, fair-play in games was needed. Despite this some users were still caught cheating. Also, nearly two weeks ago, 8000 users&#8217; accounts who were caught cheating in World of Warcraft servers got banned.</p>

<p>Users using third party programs to boost their stats and positions specifically in Diablo 2 and Starcraft had their accounts closed. The prohibited accounts will not be able to use the site or game for 30 days. As soon as the penalty ends, these users will be able to open new accounts, but if the same crime is committed again, they will be banned from the servers permanently.</p>
<p>Blizzard representatives asked for the users to play fair. It was said that in order for games to be enjoyable, fair-play in games was needed. Despite this some users were still caught cheating. Also, nearly two weeks ago, 8000 users&#8217; accounts who were caught cheating in World of Warcraft servers got banned.</p>
