New formula to refresh the WoW Classic experience: The Season of Discovery appears to have been a huge success for Blizzard. The latter even shared some interesting statistics on the subject.

More than 4 million characters created in a week

For Blizzard, the month of November was an opportunity to attract and even entice players to World of Warcraft. Following BlizzCon, Update 10.2 Guardians of the Dream was released: It includes a new area to explore and a new raid to complete. As for WoW Classic, the old-fashioned version of the MMORPG, it’s the Season of Discovery, which starts on November 30th and offers a new gaming experience for those in the know… or not!

This is proven by various statistics shared by Blizzard. Through a video with a rather humorous tone, the studio revealed several dates. In the first week after the start of the discovery season 4,535,307 characters were created, or about 450 per minute (449.93125 per minute to be exact).

. Funnily enough, they compare this statistic with the birth rate on Earth: it is 250 per minute, almost half as much!
