In New Taipei City, Taiwan, a 23 year old died after playing for 23 hours straight in an Internet cafe. In 2005, a Beijing man playing under the name “Snowly” geared up for a particularly challenging quest, and proceeded to play for several days straight. Well of course someone had to die from playing it. A few weeks after Pilgrim’s Bounty, when food is shared and turkeys are hunted, is the Feast of Winter Veil, when holiday cheer spreads across the land, gifts appear under under trees, and the Abominable Greench is up to no good. (Slay one and you’ll find his carved pumpkin head.) Candy buckets also dot the cities, and warriors can reach in to find either a trick or a treat.
Headless Horsemen gallop through towns during Hallow’s End. At the close of the Midsummer Fire Festival, great fireworks are set off all across Azeroth. On Noblegarden, for example, painted eggs are hidden around cities. They are totally different from our own, however, and players often need time to adjust. Like most civilizations, the residents of Azeroth have holidays and important historical events to celebrate and commemorate. 'Twas the feast of Great-Winter / And all through the land / All the races were running / With snowballs in hand.

Its present numbers place Azeroth’s population on par with Sweden, so they had better watch themselves. At its peak, it had 12 million paying customers, and today holds the Guinness World Record for most subscribers to a massively multiplayer online role playing game. Earlier this year, the game “only” had 9.1 million subscribers. “You tell Stockholm I’m coming, and the Twisting Nether’s comin’ with me!”įollowing the release of its fourth expansion pack, World of Warcraft’s subscriber base climbed over the 10 million mark. What kind of hardware are we talking about? It’s always changing, obviously, but Data Center Knowledge, a trade journal that covers such things, reported that as of 2009, World of Warcraft required 13,250 server blades, 75,000 cores, 112.5 terabytes of memory, and 1.2 petabytes of storage. As one representative of AT&T said, “A couple hundred milliseconds can make a big difference in the performance of a game.” To accommodate major updates to the game, Blizzard contracts AT&T to implement Synaptic Hosting, which doubles available bandwidth to compensate for increased traffic.
