Funcom says that the relaunch of its Age of Conan MMO (Age of Conan: Unchained) as a free-to-play game has proven to be a success. After going free-to-play roughly a month ago, over 300,000 new players have now charged the fields of Hyboria in‘Age of Conan: Unchained’.

“The launch of the hybrid business model has been very successful so far,” says Funcom CEO Trond Arne Aas. “The activity levels on the servers are booming with a fourfold increase in players during July, we more than doubled the revenue generated from the game, and we have experienced a positive development in subscriber numbers. This definitely gives us great hope for the game’s future.”
