WoW now officially has a larger population than a beer-producing central-European country.

With the latest expansion just around the corner, Blizzard's World of Warcraft hit yet another milestone today. 11 million and counting, was the message from Blizzard HQ, in a fairly brief statement released on their official site as the world's most successful MMO became even moreso.

WoW was the best selling PC game in both 2005 and 2006 and was beaten in 2007 only by its own expansion, The Burning Crusade. But even with such high subscription numbers, Blizzard say they aren't finished yet: "We remain fully committed to [providing] a high-quality, constantly evolving game experience."

And with the latest expanion, Wrath of The Lich King due out next month, Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime's words look to be right on the money.
