Warhammer Online Grabs 500k Players in a Week

Sep 26 2008, 5:38am CDT | by Shane McGlaun

EA says that in the first week of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning being available over 500,000 players have registered for the game. The game has become the fastest selling new MMO game of all time. It still has a long way to go to match World of Warcraft.

The game is available everywhere for $49.99 and is rated T for teen. EA and the game developer expect the title to be around for years to come.

“In just one week we have a half a million people playing WAR online, and the ranks of Order and Destruction are growing at a record-breaking pace for a new MMORPG,” said Mark Jacobs, co-founder and general manager of Mythic Entertainment. “We spent years working to provide players with the most stable, epic, and polished online world we could, but it is the players that have truly brought the Age of Reckoning to life.”
