Mythic announces milestone for their MMO

EA's Mythic Entertainment announced today that their hit MMO Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning now boasts 750,000 registered users.

Based on the popular tabletop war game from Games Workshop, Warhammer Online took number one on PC sales charts around the world when first launched.

"Thanks to our players, the war between the Realms continues to escalate at an incredible pace," said Mark Jacobs, co-founder and general manager of Mythic Entertainment. "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!"

This is very good news for Mythic, whose popular new MMO acquired 500k players during its first week on the market.  It looks like Warhammer is still going strong despite the nearing release of Blizzard's World of Warcraft expansion Wrath of the Lich King, which is set to launch November 13.

Of course, there's no way of telling how many of those 750k registered are active players.  The same can be said of Warcraft's whopping user base of 10 million.

    I gotta say, WAR is looking stronger than any other MMORPG launched in a while.

    Actually Lydia, Blizzard only counts active subscribed players in the 10M figure - this has been publicly disclosed in many press releases. In regions where subscriptions are not used such as China, a play session in the last 30 days using game card or other payment is counted as an active sub.
