Path of Exile hits 2 million registered accounts

Posted by Tony Smith on May 23rd, 2018

Path of Exile's community looks for being quite formidable before the free-to-play ARPG's full release. It's been in open beta since January, getting some impressive numbers from players seeking a resume Diablo 2-like loot and XP mechanics. Topping which is Grinding Gear's announcement today it's amassed 2 million registered accounts ever since the open beta began in January.

"We're really thrilled with Path of Exile's reception," Grinding Gear Producer Chris Wilson says in the press release. "It blew our expectations beyond the Path of Exile Currency water and continues to cultivate every day. The continued feedback and support from fans may be great. We expect you'll add many new content and features through the open beta period as we approach full release later this season."

What's Path of Exile's secret? Perhaps it's Grinding Gear's resolve for designing a game title its staff want to learn themselves and modeling it after hardcore elements obtained in Diablo, Titan Quest, and Dungeon Siege. Maybe it is the studio's smart decision to hand out content free. Or it just could possibly be the work of each and every class' colossal passive skill tree stretching across your POE Currency monitor such as a carpet packed with candy. It's likely all from the above, and Grinding Gear isn't scaling down on adding new abilities and items leading up towards the game's full launch later in 2010.
