WoW: Forever is the biggest launch in World of Warcraft history, says Blizzard

World of Warcraft: Forever is the biggest launch in the MMO's history, pulling in more concurrent players than any previous WoW launch.

Blizzard shared the news on social media yesterday (7th November), saying the new edition, which launched on 4th November, broke records for both peak concurrent players and returning players.

"Congratulations everyone, you made history!" the official World of Warcraft account posted. "This is all because of you, the players. From all of us, thank you!"

The game hasn't just tempted back lapsed players. In a follow-up post, executive producer and World of Warcraft vice president Holly Longdale said it brought in the most new players for a WoW launch in 15 years.

"Welcome all! We're so happy you're here experiencing Azeroth for the first time alongside those of us playing it for the first time... again," she wrote.

Wooo! Another statistic is filling our hearts -- we are seeing the most NEW players for a WoW launch in 15 YEARS!

Welcome all! We’re so happy you’re here experiencing Azeroth for the first time alongside those of us playing it for the first time...AGAIN 😁 #WoWForever https://t.co/QPp3MDoVyr

Blizzard finally officially confirmed World of Warcraft: Forever at September's BlizzCon after fans were obsessing over colours as dataminers pulled hues from Blizzard's website that were labelled under a curious "wow 2" tag , leading many to speculate that this referred to the rumoured World of Warcraft Camelot, or as it's better known, "Classic Plus", much like how Blizzard is now expanding Diablo 2 .
