How many people play champions online

Currently unknown, but on Oct 29th, Cryptic Studios reported the1 millionth hero was made in game. This does not mean "accounts" or individuals playing because an account can have multiple heroes.

Massively.com did a back-of-the-napkin survey (also on Oct 29th) and estimated that most people may have 4 heroes. If this is true, then that would lead you to believe 250k accounts have been created.


Obviously, some of those may be inactive. I would put the number around 50% of that amount: 80k - 160k active accounts (guess). Just a guess based on the information at hand and based on the number of accounts on 2nd & 3rd tier MMORPGs.
