Drakensang Online is a browser-based, freemium online role-playing game of the German enterprise Bigpoint. The gameplay is similar to the Diablo game franchise[1] and is developed by Bigpoint Berlin. It is one of the few MMORPGs developed in the European Union.[citation needed] The title was in an open beta phase from August 2011 to July 2012.[2] According to Bigpoint's own statement, there are currently 35 million registered accounts. However, the real number can differ because multiple registrations are allowed.[3] A retail version was released in November 2011.[4]
