Age of Reckoning has become “the fastest-selling new MMO of all time”, according to publisher EA and developer Mythic Entertainment.
Over 500,000 players have registered for the fantasy MMO across North America, Europe and the Oceanic territories since the game was launched last week.
“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.
“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.”
The key word in EA's announcement is "new." When the World of Warcraft expansion The Burning Crusade launched in January 2007, the title sold 2.4 million in its first 24 hours--but technically, it wasn't a "new" MMO.
