GamersFirst has announced that over three million players have registered to play APB: Reloaded. According to the press release, the milestone was passed after APB:R was released on Steam. GamersFirst anticipates that the number will rise when a special boxed version hits store shelves that sells with pretty amazing incentives.
We recognized the potential for APB Reloaded to be a true breakout hit in the Free2Play category all through beta testing, said Rahul Sandil, SVP of marketing and business development for GamersFirst. We quickly amassed a vocal, dedicated community, and theyve been instrumental in growing the game and helping better the experience. We also attracted a partner in [a]list games, a digital game market maker who launched a worldwide campaign to raise the games visibility and help it appeal to a broader audience. Ultimately, players who discover a new free game decide if theres enough value and quality to keep playing, and APB Reloadeds trajectory tells us a growing number are being blown away by what theyre getting.

I checked this out in the beta before it launched and died. Might want to check it again now, if they have ironed out the lag-related problems.
This really doesn't mean anything, when you have people like me registered, played the beta twice and never really came back. I personally would like to check it out again now that I just upgraded my PC's graphics card, but there isn't much of a draw to this game. Just a lot of 4v4s gun fights with objectives.
I'm sure they're adding in the banned lists to those numbers. Wouldn't surprise me with all the crap they love to pull.
And ya, I do play the game (once in a blue moon -.-).
Servers are more or less empty. Where are those 3 million people?
No fate but what we make, so make me a ham sandwich please.
I'll bet you most of those 3 mill people were like me - Saw it advertised when I logged into Steam, remembered I wanted to give it as try now that it's free, installed it, played it (after a brief but frustrating interlude manually insytalling and patching Punkbuster - they are losing most of their potential customers right in that step) and discovered the game was a total POS. It's incredible really, if you know how much money and time was spent. I found there to be no redeeming qualities in what I had installed, and I removed the game after playing maybe 2,5 hours as I knew I would not log in again.
