The9 Is Up As World Of Warcraft Sets Record
by Darren
October 5, 2007 – 2:56 pmWorld of Warcraft has set a new record, with over 800,000 people simultaneously connected to, and playing, the game. The9 operates the game in China, and is having a great year based on the success of the game.
The9 operates the popular game in China, and said the player peak occurred after the company’s Sept. 6 launch of a game expansion pack called “The Burning Crusade.”
American depositary shares of Shanghai-based The9 gained $1.46, or 4.9 percent, to $31.36 in afternoon trading. During the past year, the stock has moved between $20.86 and $52.43.
The expansion pack adds more features such as new lands to the game, and has drawn both current and new players, the company said.
With “Wrath of the Lich King” coming soon, it’s possible a new record is right on the horizon.
