The initial tallies are now in! Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning has seen a staggering number of first month subscribers, totaling more than 500,000 player accounts created. While some developers tout box shipments, these numbers are people who have purchased the game and are currently playing it.

¡°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.

With the game only being out for a bit over a week now, this is very impressive for EA and Mythic Entertainment. Now the ball is in their court to ensure continued growth.

Are you one of the more than 500,000 currently playing the game? What are your thoughts? Will Mythic Entertainment finally show that there can be more than one successful MMO at the same time?
