Today we take Warhammer Online and review its explosive growth in only a few days since its launch (September 18th).

Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning could become one of the most played pc games thanks to it currently hitting the number 5 spot on XFIRE’s most played list. This is incredible considering the small amount of time it’s been available.

When you take a closer look at the stats, you can see that it works out to around 12,000 plus gamers with each of them spending an average of 335 minutes playing. This compares to WoW that currently has 260 minutes of game time per user and gives you an idea of how big Warhammer Online has become.

Will the game crash in the coming weeks or will it pose a threat to World of Warcraft?
