While World of Warcraft's current subscription count may have dropped to a new low of 7.6 million active subscribers, the count is still high when it comes to pre-order numbers for the MMO's next expansion.
During today's Activision Blizzard earnings call, developer Blizzard revealed that the upcoming expansion Warlords of Draenor has already pre-sold 1 million copies. The expansion is set to introduce the new Draenor zone alongside increasing the level cap to 100 and adding a fair chunk of new content in the way of new character models, Garrisons, raids and dungeons.
Along with the pre-order number update, Blizzard also noted that they will be expanding their World of Warcraft development team in order to accelerate content creation. Hopefully with this development expansion Blizzard will be able to keep up with content demand among players, unlike the current drought of content that players are experiencing now.
World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor is scheduled to release sometime by December 20th this year.

Although I screwed up royally with the free lvl 90 boost. Figured I'd boost my lvl 15 warrior and I look thru my professions to make sure they boosted too. Well, it seems you need to be lvl 60 for the professions to boost. So Blizzard sure showed me who's boss. Now I have a lvl 90 that I couldn't be bothered playing because I don't wanna have to go back and start from scratch learning BS and mining.
So just a warning if you're boosting a toon and want your professions to max out. You have to be at least lvl 60 or it won't werk. And Blizzard conveniently left that off the page that tells you what you get. You need to do a search thru their site to another page that has nothing to do with the boost page where you pay. I'm not bitter at all.
