We've known it was going to be a strong contender since the first time we laid eyes on
Free Realms. Once we stepped into the world last month and started playing the game, we knew it was going to be even bigger than we'd previously thought. Sure enough, we were right. News has come out this morning, courtesy of
John Smedley on Twitter, that
Free Realms crossed the 1 million account mark in
just eighteen days since launch. Considering we got the news that
Runes of Magic crossed the 1 million mark yesterday in
just a little under two months, 18 days is an insanely fast time-frame for a
recent free-to-play game release to break that mark! Of course, considering how fiendishly addictive and fun
Free Realms is, we're not too surprised. We're sure the
TV commercials probably didn't hurt, either.
We here at Massively would like to send out our congratulations to the
Free Realms team on their exciting landmark achievement! We'll let you know more when we have some further details from
SOE. In the meantime, if you'll pardon us, we're going to go play Demolition Derby to celebrate.
