World of Warcraft Forever Is the Biggest WoW Launch in History

Even during the beta, World of Warcraft Forever was shaping up to be huge, with an unprecedented amount of testers. But, over the weekend, Blizzard announced that World of Warcraft Forever had the biggest launch in WoW history.

The news came over Twitter, where the official World of Warcraft account posted that Forever was the biggest launch in WoW history both in terms of peak concurrent players and the number of returning players. Keep in mind that this history includes Wrath of the Lich King and Warlords of Draenor, both of which had huge launches – though the latter didn't exactly maintain it.

WoW Forever didn't just break records by dragging old players in and convincing them to resub. Holly Longdale, Blizzard's executive producer and vice president for World of Warcraft posted her own statistic, saying "Another statistic is filling our hearts – we are seeing the most NEW players for a WoW launch in 15 years!" That means WoW Forever has brought more players in than any WoW expansion since Cataclysm first launched 16 years ago in 2010.

Congratulations everyone, you made HISTORY!

WoW: Forever has achieved:

🔹The biggest launch in WoW history by peak concurrent players
🔹The highest number of returning players in WoW history

This is all because of you, the players. From all of us, THANK YOU! https://t.co/MQxQXmNDbA

Scrolling through Longdale's replies, it's clear that people are loving WoW Forever. There are a ton of fans talking about how they played all weekend, like Dungeons and Dragons senior game designer Joey Haeck , who posted a picture of himself on a Zeppelin leaving Orgrimmar, saying, "Congratulations to the whole Forever team!
