Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. today announced that World of Warcraft®: Cataclysm™, the third expansion for the critically acclaimed massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), sold through more than 3.3 million copies as of its first 24 hours of release, making it the fastest-selling PC game of all time.* This milestone eclipses the previous record of more than 2.8 million copies sold in 24 hours, set in November 2008 by Blizzard’s second World of Warcraft expansion, Wrath of the Lich King ® .
World of Warcraft: Cataclysm was simultaneously released in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Europe, Russia, Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand on December 7, and became available in Korea and the regions of Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau on December 9. More than 10,000 stores throughout the world opened their doors at midnight to welcome players who wanted to be among the first to obtain a copy of the expansion. In addition, approximately 15,000 players attended official launch events hosted by Blizzard and key retail partners in the US, Canada, France, Germany, Russia, Sweden, the Netherlands, Spain, the UK, and the region of Taiwan.
“We had to bring Azeroth to the brink of destruction in Cataclysm, but the result was our best expansion yet,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “We want to thank all of our new, existing, and returning players throughout the world for their incredible enthusiasm and support, and we look forward to hearing what they think about all the new content.”
Prior to the launch of Cataclysm, World of Warcraft’s subscriber population had grown to more than 12 million players globally, further strengthening the game’s position as the world’s most popular subscription-based MMORPG.
Antonio Trillanes has gone from soldier to detained coup leader to senator

A leader of a coup attempt in the Philippines in 2003, Antonio Trillanes, has been freed from jail under a presidential amnesty.
Mr Trillanes was elected to the Senate from behind bars and says he will be an active supporter of President Benigno Aquino.
The former Philippine navy lieutenant was accused of leading the coup attempt on 27 July 2003.
No-one was hurt in the coup attempt against then President Gloria Arroyo.
Mr Trillanes is among about 300 troops who demanded that Mrs Arroyo step down for alleged corruption.
Nine officers pleaded guilty to coup charges, apologised and were subsequently pardoned by Mrs Arroyo; Mr Trillanes denied any wrongdoing in a trial yet to reach any conclusion.
Another of the rebel soldiers, Nicanor Faeldon, surrendered in July after three years on the run, saying he recognised the legitimacy of the new Philippine government.
Allies
During his trial in 2007, Mr Trillanes led a dramatic walkout from the court room to the Manila Peninsula Hotel; loyal troops drove an armoured personnel carrier into the five-star hotel's lobby to end their occupation.
This was a prelude to Mr Trillanes winning a seat in the Senate later that year; he will be able to take that seat for the first time in January.
"Since we are allied with this administration, we are going to help them in their legislative agenda. So we're not going to be outside critics here," he said on his release from jail.
"I believe our heart is for the country. We will be part of rebuilding this country. So our countrymen can count on us, they will have a voice in the Senate who will fight and protect for their rights," he said.
President Aquino announced an amnesty for the coup plotters in October.
Some analysts have suggested his amnesty carries risks of a more restive military.
Coup attempts are common in the Philippines, since the martial law of former President Ferdinand Marcos which was brought to an end in 1986 by a popular movement led by the current president's mother, Corazon Aquino.
