IRVINE, Calif. ? November 20, 2008 -- Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. today announced that World of Warcraft?s second expansion, Wrath of the Lich King?, has sold more than 2.8 million copies in its first 24 hours of availability*, making it the fastest-selling PC game of all time. This eclipses the previous record of nearly 2.4 million copies sold in 24 hours, set in January 2007 by Blizzard?s first World of Warcraft expansion, The Burning Crusade®. Wrath of the Lich King was simultaneously released in North America, Europe, Chile, Argentina, and Russia on November 13; Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand on November 14; and South Korea and the regions of Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau on November 18.

In celebration of the launch, more than 15,000 stores throughout the world had their doors open at midnight to welcome thousands of expectant players. Several of these locations were attended by Blizzard Entertainment representatives, who met players and signed copies of the game.

?We?re grateful for the incredible support that players around the world have continued to show for World of Warcraft,? said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. ?Wrath of the Lich King contains some of the best content we?ve created for the game so far, and we look forward to seeing even more players log in to experience it in the days ahead.?

?After a single day of availability, Wrath of the Lich King is already the bestselling PC game of 2008 at GameStop and ranks as one of our top-selling products so far this year,? said Bob McKenzie, GameStop?s senior vice president of merchandising. ?In keeping with the tradition established by their previous releases, Blizzard Entertainment has again created a product that not only reflects their high standards of quality but is clearly an instant hit with gamers around the country.?

Prior to the launch of Wrath of the Lich King, World of Warcraft?s subscriber population had grown to more than 11 million players, further strengthening its position as the world?s most popular subscription-based massively multiplayer online role-playing game. More information about the new expansion can be found at the official Wrath of the Lich King website: www.worldofwarcraft.com/wrath.

I am happy to announce that the World of Warcraft guild "Questers" that was run by GCGG member, Hacksaw, is merging INTO our World of Warcraft guild on the Gilneas server.

Questers has been running on the Gilneas server for a long time, and we are excited to have some experienced players join us right from the beginning!

A big welcome to all the Questers members - we are happy to have you, and look forward to playing with you in-game soon!

It is with great excitement that I announce Good Company Gaming Guild officially supports World of Warcraft!

We have created a guild on the Gilneas US Server by the name "Good Company"

As you can see, we have created many new forums specifically for World of Warcraft, and we also have a World of Warcraft home on the website. You can get there by going to: http://www.goodcompanygaming.com/wow

Membership into the Good Company guild in WoW is OPEN.  Membership in Good Company Gaming Guild is not required to become a member of the Good Company guild on the Gilneas server of World of Warcraft. Please note, this is a special exception only for World of Warcraft, as we do not want to restrict our guild size in WoW to only members of Good Company Gaming Guild. Of course, members in Good Company may become Good Company Gaming Guild members at some point in the future as well, but it is not required to be part of the guild in WoW.

If you are a player on the Gilneas server, and would like to become a part of Good Company guild, please send an email to mike@lseclan.com with your forum username, and the name of your character in WoW.  I will get in touch to add you to the guild in WoW.

If you play WoW, but are not on the Gilneas server and would like to join Good Company, please feel free to email me for instructions on how you can officially transfer your character to Gilneas through the World of Warcraft website for $25.00.

All new members in the WoW guild will be considered "Initiates" at first, and work their way up to "Member". We will be adding a form to the website in the near future, but now, an email will be fine.

We are very excited about building a large guild, and having a great time in World of Warcraft together!

Thanks,
Mike
