Posted by Zonk on from the that-is-a-lot-of-players dept.

Thanks to simon for the heads up that casual online game BNB has a record of 700,000 concurrent users. The Chinese game is a casual online experience where families pit themselves against other families. For comparison the game Eve Online regularly has 10,000 concurrent users.

    It's popular among Korean kids also. It's basically an online Bomberman (Nexon bought the rights to Bomberman from Hudsonsoft AFAIK) that tracks your win/lose stats and rewards you with the game's currency for good play. You can use the currency to buy different accessories/clothes for your character. The Korean client is a free download (http://www.crazyarcade.com/) and there's no monthly charge (though you can pay real money in exchange for the game's currency). The client does have some sort of spyware attached to it (at least that's what Ad Aware says) and you have to be able to read Korean.
