MMORPG: Dofus Reaches 10 Million Accounts

Ankama, developer of Flash MMORPG Dofus has announced that users have created over 10 million accounts, including 1.5 million paid subscriptions, since the game was launched in September 2004.

Ankama did not make clear in the release how many of these accounts are currently active.

Dofus was originally released for the French market and Ankama has revealed that 30% of the accounts were created by users who do not consider French their first language, with accounts created in 150 countries and available in 10 different languages -- the English-language version was launched in 2005, German and Spanish were released in 2007, and Italian, Dutch and Portuguese versions are now available.

This announcement follows the recent announcement of a "Heroic" server for the title.

Comments

Just a quick correction - this is NOT a Flash MMORPG - it clearly requires a client download.
