Funcom and Eidos have today announced that the Age of Conan beta has passed one million sign-ups, making it one of the most anticipated MMOs ever.
“Funcom has not been able to find any higher beta numbers for MMOs in the western world,” said Morten Larssen, VP of Funcom Sales and Marketing. “We believe it represents the largest ever beta sign-up figure in the history of the genre.”
Additionally some 800,000 gamers have signed up to the Clan of Conan newsletter and over 115,000 posts have been made on the game’s official forums. Over 5 million unique visitors from over 200 countries have visited the Age of Conan websites since January. Last week alone registered 725,000 unique visitors to Conan sites.
“How all of our strong figures convert into later sales and subscription figures is still unknown,” continued Larssen. “But our pre-order numbers in some important retail chains track as among the highest for any MMO launched.”
Age of Conan will launch on May 20 in North America and on May 23 across Europe.
