Since Battle of the Immortals from Perfect World Entertainment launched is open beta on May 4, 2010, 250,000 characters have been created. Perfect World Entertainment has had to double its servers to keep up with player demand. Keep in mind, the figure released “Characters Created” is not an accurate representation of playerbase, as each player can create multiple characters and this figure also counts inactive characters. Still, 250,000 characters created in under a month is quite impressive.
