Most interested fans are aware of these facts, but it is always best to put things down in print to help get things in perspective. To that end, it is perhaps best stated first and foremost that the original World of Warcraft release date was on November 23rd of 2004. This was a groundbreaking ten years after the release date of the first of the Warcraft series, Warcraft: Orcs & Humans.

Since then there have been more than enough releases of the game by Blizzard to keep the Warcraft saga running hot. Warcraft II: the Tides of darkness was released in December 1995.

Following on the heels of its success, an expansion pack was also released in April of 1996, a mere five months after the release of Warcraft II. This expansion pack was called Warcraft II: Beyond the dark Portal.

Warcraft II was touted by gamers everywhere as one of the best Role Playing Games (RPG) ever created. And although the MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) World of Warcraft release date was another eight years in the future, Blizzard didn’t lack for a shortage of ideas.

Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos was released in July of 2002. And an expansion pack for this was released not soon after. This was called Warcraft III: the Frozen Throne and was released a year later in July 2003.

By now of course World of Warcraft was a reality in the corridors of Blizzard Entertainment. It was only awaiting imminent announcement to the rest of the world of the World of Warcraft release date. This was duly accomplished and the World of Warcraft release date was set for November 23rd of 2004.

The rest as they say is history, and two years later the World of Warcraft: the Burning Crusade expansion pack was announced to be released within a few months, on January 16th of 2007.

Of course not all Warcraft and World of Warcraft release dates received as much promotion as did the Burning Crusade promotion. It was to prove to be one of Blizzard’s most ingenuous coups. In the first twenty four hour period alone after the World of Warcraft release of the expansion pack, the Burning crusade sold over 2.4 million copies worldwide.

Not unnaturally, this staggering sales total made gaming history and will be remembered forever in the annals of history as the day when a World of Warcraft release took the entire world by storm.
