Heroes of Gaia tops 1,000,000 players

It's a rare feat when an MMO tops one million users these days. Even the big titles with big marketing budgets struggle to land several hundred thousand players due to the glut of games crowding the market. Heroes of Gaia has done just that, as the browser-based free-to-play MMORTS from Snail Games USA announced today that their monthly active-user population has topped 1,000,000 worldwide for the ongoing open beta.

"Many browser-game developers and publishers claim traffic numbers which are based upon 'total lifetime accounts,'" said Michael Chan, Vice President of Global Business for Snail Games USA. "And this can be highly deceptive because many of those accounts are inactive. Our one million plus Heroes of Gaia users are unique accounts who have logged in during the past 30 days."

Heroes of Gaia players can select one of four fantasy factions and use their hero to build castles, complete quests, and summon armies, all in the name of real-time strategic combat.
