Warhammer Online loses 43 servers

11 March 2009

Mythic, the developers of the well received MMORPG Warhammer Online, has asked players on selected servers to transfer their characters.

Mythic plans to eventually close a total of 43 servers.

Warhammer Online was launched just less than six months ago. Within the first month of its release, the game managed to sell 1.2million copies, and had 800 000 registered users online. By December, the figure had plummeted to less than 400 000 active subscriptions. Blizzard’s launch of the expansion pack to World of Warcraft – Wrath of the Lich King did not help Mythic’s slowly shrinking community.

The announcement to cut servers comes in the wake of Mythic’s recent announcement of the free expansion pack “Call to Arms”.
