Since then, the company has had wild success persuing the Warcraft, Diablo, and Starcraft games. Recently, Blizzard Entertainment announced that World of Warcraft has surpassed two million paying subscribers worldwide. World of Warcraft has become the largest MMORPG in North America, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe, Blizzard expects to see even greater growth with the recent commercial launch in China on June 7, 2005.
