Half a million players now signed up for the recent MMO.

Electronic Arts and Mythic Entertainment this week announced that their recently released massively multiplayer online role-playing game, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, has attracted more than 500,000 registered users.

“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 at 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.”

Described by EA as “the fastest-selling new MMO of all time,” Age of Reckoning is currently available worldwide for the recommended retail price of $49.99 (U.S.).
