Blizzard Entertainment (thanks Tony) announces that World of Warcraft will be in stores in North America, Australia, and New Zealand on November 23, and their eagerly anticipated MMORPG "is planned for release in Korea, Europe, and other countries throughout Asia shortly following." The release goes on to offer quotes about the project, as well as details on a few different subscription pricing plans. Here's a bit more:

In World of Warcraft, players assume the roles of legendary heroes and interact with thousands of other players online as they explore and adventure across a vast world. Whether journeying together or questing on their own, players will engage in heroic battles, develop friendships, forge alliances, and compete with enemies for power and glory. The game features customizable character classes with thousands of weapons, spells, and abilities. With an innovative, easy-to-use interface, an action-packed combat system, and thousands of quests that build an immersive storyline, World of Warcraft offers a MMORPG that will appeal to both veteran and casual players alike.
