World of Warcraft was first released in the US on November 23, 2004, and thus it celebrated it turned seven years. The game still enjoys a healthy 10 million players, and for comparison it launched the same year as Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Halo 2. We had still to see anything on this generation of consoles. World of Warcraft then went on to launch in Europe early the following year, and well, its never looked back since.
