AQWorlds' milestone - 10 Million Players in 10 Months

Game Growing Four Times Faster Than U.S. Population

Land O’Lakes, FL - August 25, 2009 - Artix Entertainment’s MMORPG AdventureQuest Worlds today welcomed its 10 millionth registered player. Launched at the end of October, 2008, AdventureQuest Worlds’ average growth rate of 1.1 million players per month is four times faster than the growth rate of the U.S. population.

“Since we at Artix have fun taking things to the absurd, at this rate we should have every American signed up by 3022, but that’s just a guess,” joked Adam Bohn, founder and CEO of Artix Entertainment. “Signing up the rest of the world might take a little longer.”

About Artix Entertainment
Artix Entertainment was founded by Adam Bohn in 2002, while introducing Artix Entertainment's first game, AdventureQuest. The game was immensely popular: by June 2004, over one million accounts had been created, although Adam Bohn said he would have been happy to have at least 100 people play. He said the large amount of players has taken him by surprise. Following the success of AdventureQuest, Artix Entertainment developed a second game called DragonFable in 2006. In late 2007, a third game, MechQuest, a sci-fi-themed RPG was released. In May 2008, the company announced the development of their fourth major game: a fantasy MMORPG named AdventureQuest Worlds, which went live October 10th, 2008. Over 60 million accounts have been created in the four games. Artix Entertainment's fifth game, Warpforce, was officially released on July 17, 2009.
