Stress test indeed.
Funcom has announed that more than one million people have signed up for open beta of Age of Conan, and that there have been more than five million unique hits to their website.
Durham, USA May 13, 2008 Funcom and Eidos are proud to confirm some of the impressive figures powering the Age of Conan launch, and the two companies are happy to reveal that the Age of Conan Beta has passed 1 million sign-ups! As one of the most anticipated MMOs ever, the 1 million mark confirms the amazing interest in the game.
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.
