WAR Reaches 750,000 Players
According to Gamasutra, Mythic is reporting that Warhammer Online has reached 750,000 subscriptions.
“Thanks to our players, the war between the Realms continues to escalate at an incredible pace,” says Mythic co-founder and general manager Mark Jacobs.”
As you might remember, Mythic stated that within the first week of the games launch, they had received 500,000 subscriptions. So within the last month, the game has grown quite a bit. I imagine friends telling friends “hey come play WAR it rocks”. I know I am a bit guilty of this. Mythic is also claiming that it is “the fastest-selling new MMO of all time, with 1.5 million units sold to retailers in launch territories.”
For the hardcore WAR fan, this is great news. For the uncertain WAR fan, this is even better news. With this kind of player base, the RVR system has huge potential. The battlefield sizes will be immense. Albeit a bit laggy, but overtime the game will be fine-tuned (see WAR Performance Guide). Guilds will be large, and scenario que times will be quick. Overall good news for those looking for intense RvR action!
“The battlefields are alive with three quarters of a million players fighting for the forces of Order and Destruction in truly epic and unparalleled Realm vs. Realm battles!”
