State Of World of Warcraft
by Maarten Goldstein, Jun 22, 2005 7:03am PDTWorld of Warcraft Battleplan on the World of Warcraft forums is a post by Blizzard producer Shane Dabiri, who talks about the state of the immensely popular MMORPG. World of Warcraft has over 2 million subscribers, 450 worldwide realms, 550 GMs monitoring the game, and after a rocky start "we were able to significantly improve our code and update our hardware, which increased our performance dramatically. Our realms are now stable, and we are concentrating on providing consistent content patches to our players". The game has already had several content and feature updates, and more is coming
We are committed to delivering the highest quality online experience for our players. Some of our upcoming plans have already been mentioned on our community site. For example, in our next major update, we will be releasing Blackwing Lair, a 40-person raid dungeon, where you will be able to battle against the epic dragon Nefarian and his minions. We are also working on a 20-person dungeon called Zul'Gurub, and the mysterious lands of Ahn'Qiraj in Silithus. Outside of dungeons, we want to continue adding new world events, such as a carnival that will take place in Mulgore and Elwynn forest.What about an expansion pack? "I wanted to let players know that it is in the works, and we'll release details as soon as we can".

I guess thats the sign of a great game. I wish my hobby was watching sports or something else, because I don't think theres any other hobby that would take up this much time.
