Free-to-play sends Everquest 2 player numbers soaring by 300%
Star Wars: The Old Republic may have had a stellar first month but it didn’t steal all the limelight in the MMO world. Everquest 2 went free-to-play and saw it player numbers increase by 300% according to Sony Online Entertainment President John Smedley.
As well as Daily logins also going up by 40%, Smedley also mentions that item sales grew 200% and subscriptions went up too. The free-to-play success stories just keep rolling in. I wonder how long it is until it becomes the normal business for MMOs? Smedley’s already gave us his thoughts on that one, what about you guys?
