In an hour-long epilogue to last week’s landmark episode, Paul Nowak shows up for a guest appearance, and is very late. He discusses the previous week’s podcast notes – and talks about his new job and Dungeon Keeper.
This is the last episode of 2016. See you in the new, hopefully less awful 2017.
Wrath of the Lich King is the fastest selling game of all time beating the old champion: Burning Crusade. Believe it or not, Blizzard is saying 2.8-million people picked up the expansion to World of Warcraft and are currently sitting at home forgetting to eat their dinner in the first 24-hours of launch.
This probably doesn’t come as any surprise to Burning Crusade owners, but think on this… you can’t play Wrath of the Lich King without the core game and the Burning Crusade expansion. New adopters of the WoW haze will be investing a good deal of money, before monthly charges, to get into the full experience of Lich King.
The original Burning Crusade expansion sold 2.4-million copies in the first 24-hours, in some ways this is disappointing because their was only a minor influx in this new expansion. It’s hard to complain about epic sales on a game expansion, what other title can boast number so high for an expansion pack?
The real question is, how many gamers have taken days off of work to get their Death Knights to level 80 first?
