Mplayer announced today that its membership mark has reached 100,000. The company said that several thousand people are joining per week, and at this rate of growth, the number could double or triple in size during the next six months.
Membership and payment levels are very important to online gaming services, most of which are still trying to determine the best way to reach customers in a new and growing industry. Mplayer chose early this year to change its retail model, which now includes both a premium level and a free level. Mplayer hasn't said how many members have joined its premium program, which means that the high numbers don't necessarily translate into more profits for the company.
