Sega of Japan has released some statistics for the first month of official Phantasy Star Online 2 service.
According to an announcement post on the official Japanese Web site, over 730,000 people have registered to play the game as of Thursday, July 26. Approximately 200,000 of those accounts were registered after the game was released in Japan.
In addition, Sega says that the number of concurrent connections to the game peaked at over 91,000 players on July 7, three days after the game officially went live.
Because of this, Sega says that they are considering expanding Phantasy Star Online 2 service into other countries. The game has already been announced for release in the United States and Europe early next year.
Not mentioned was the number of accounts paying for premium content, though the announcement seemed to indicate that Sega is pleased with the free-to-play strategy so far. Hopefully the US/EU release will see similar success.
