An article in the “This Month In Gaming” section of our newsletter revealed that World of Warcraft has reached 11 million subscribers, that’s a whole lot of geeks! It is also a record in the Massive Multiplayer Online world for the number of people playing one game.

Blizzard has announced that Wrath of the Lich King, the long awaited second expansion for World of Warcraft, is now on sale in North America, Europe, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, and Russia.

“Wrath of the Lich King contains some of the best content we’ve created for World of Warcraft,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “We appreciate the valuable feedback from our beta testers and the continued enthusiasm and dedication of players around the world, and we look forward to seeing them in Northrend.”

World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King sends players to the cold, forbidding continent of Northrend, where the malevolent Lich King Arthas Menethil seeks to bring an end to life on Azeroth. Players will fight Arthas’ undead army and unravel the mysteries of Northrend as they quest through new zones and dungeons, acquire potent new skills and abilities, engage in epic open-world player-vs.-player warfare with siege vehicles and destructible buildings, wield the runic power of World of Warcraft’s first Hero class, the death knight, and much more.

A special Collector’s Edition of the expansion is also available which includes the expansion, The Art of World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King hardcover book, an exclusive in-game pet, a behind-the-scenes DVD, two World of Warcraft Trading Card Game starter packs and two exclusive cards, a mouse pad featuring a map of Northrend, and the official World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King soundtrack CD.The official soundtrack will also be available for purchase and download on the iTunes Store with three exclusive tracks available only on iTunes.
