Warhammer Online to Reach a Million Beta Applicants?

Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning is certainly a highly anticipated game. So highly anticipated, in fact, that EA Mythic's GM, Mark Jacobs, thinks a million people will sign up for the beta...handily. Here is his statement about this on the Warhammer Vault forum:

Folks,

Actually, I'd be surprised if we didn't hit 1M once we start taking beta apps for our Asian partners. Even without Asia, based on our current sign-up rate, we should blow through 750K and we have a decent shot at 1M. Since we have already far surpassed my initial goal, I'm quite happy with what we have. And since I'm sure somebody will ask this, my goal, post EA, was to have 500K signed up in NA and Europe.

Mark
