World of Warcraft is back up to over 10-million subscribers, thanks to the recent launch of the Warlords of Draenor expansion. In addition, Blizzard Entertainment announced that Warlords of Draenor sold through over 3.3-million copies within the first 24 hours of the expansion’s availability. The launch wasn’t as smooth as Blizzard would have liked, with server issues and queue time plaguing players to the point that the company is compensating all active subscribers with five free days of game time.
