"I Play WoW" is probably the premiere World of Warcraft-related application on social networking site Facebook.  We reported on it a while back, and since then, it's come quite a long way, including bringing in Armory updates when that became possible, and slowly growing over the past six months.  And now they've hit another milestone -- Korale of Medivh (who runs the app with his wife Jeanelly, also on Medivh) has announced that they've reached over 100,000 users tracking over 260,000 characters.  That's quite an undertaking.  He also says that over 70% of people invited to the app actually use it (which is fairly high, we'd imagine, for Facebook), and that over 40,000 people visit the app at least once a month to update their status.Congrats to Korale and Jeanelly on all their hard work.  Our own Facebook page isn't quite as big -- it's at 2,601 fans so far, but we're aiming higher.  Our very own Turpster from the WoW Insider Show has promised us a brand new song if we can break 4,000 fans, so if you're on Facebook (or even if you're not yet, it's free to sign up) and have a few WoW-playing friends to invite, send them our way -- the sooner we get 4,000 fans, the sooner we get that song (and Turpster tells us he might even have a few other familiar faces on WoW Insider join in, too).  Sure, it's not 100,000, but if we can hit that magic 4,000, the results should be worth it."I Play WoW" Facebook app reaches 100,000 users originally appeared on WoW Insider on Fri, 16 Jan 2009 14:00:00 EST.  Please see our terms for use of feeds.
