Forums - Sony - Free Realms passes two million subscribers now

Well, that about wraps it up for video games. No, no, we're serious. There's a new world order and we'd highly suggest that you get in line. How are we so sure? Because SOE's free MMO Free Realms just crossed the two-million-player mark. If the story seems familiar to you, it's because Free Realms just passed the one million player line 12 days ago.The agme is getting popular  and it shows.In just 23 days,they have 2m players online.

This could be something really big for SONY.

2Million in 23 days is awesome.

Eurogamer gave it a 7/10, saying it was great, yet shallow.



well it is free. and it is going to cost them a fortune in upkeep. especially if people are like me and don't buy game content

I'm sure they've worked out the cost of upkeep vs the potential income and for some reason I don't think even Sony would have predicted nearly 2 million players joining up so fast.

That really is a huge number of players.



 

it was given 7/10 because its just a low level MMO.Not a full fledged graphical beast.It was just built to test if people are interested.



Seeing this Square Enix are trying to release their FFXI on PS3 now
