Further, aside from occasional spikes, AoC has been floating around in the same neighborhood in the Xfire numbers since a few months after launch, while WAR has shown a tendency to decline steadily.<br /><br />Furthermore, an Xfire ranking in the 50's really is fairly good. There are plenty of games that eke by uner 200, and many nominally helthy games (EQ2, etc.) seem to do just fine around 100.<br /><br />Whenever a big new game comes out, I suspect that every other game in the MMO space takes a hit to some degree. Rigt now, you have Aion, FalennEarth and the DDO relaunch. AoC is in a lull patch right now, but with Godslayer (gawds, I hate that title...) on the horizon I think it's in a pretty healthy place for the long haul.<br /><br />The difference between WAR and AoC, the way I see it, is that WAR's fundamental gameplay is broken. AoC's isn't, and it's also a much more well-rounded game than WAR.<br /><br />In other words, I wouldn't worry too much. Will AoC contract again? Maybe. But I don't think it's in any danger of disappearing.Ardwulfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09612113439848252327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647535028551977680.post-75337967675064898782009-09-22T15:32:33.411-04:002009-09-22T15:32:33.411-04:00@jeff

...I bought the CE of AoC too, love the soundtrack.<br /><br />I think all MMO's take a small hit when new ones are releases, specially one as big as Aion. I do like the direction that Funcom has taken with AoC as well, and I'm sure that the expansion will bring new and old players back when that comes out.Jayedubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07437007861375094683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647535028551977680.post-42134741796176329612009-09-22T11:55:36.592-04:002009-09-22T11:55:36.592-04:00Are these Xfire stats available to everyone that d...Are these Xfire stats available to everyone that downloads Xfire?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13855421288341342176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647535028551977680.post-48304256210589396022009-09-22T11:54:42.891-04:002009-09-22T11:54:42.891-04:00While there are not direct subscription numbers fo...While there are not direct subscription numbers for Age of Conan the revenue is public information, since Funcom is a public company.<br /><br />In Q2 2009 revenue were 6145K USD. The majority would be AoC, a little bit AO. A rough estimate from the revenue would probably be 125K-130K subscribers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647535028551977680.post-79896469466528008882009-09-22T11:17:39.796-04:002009-09-22T11:17:39.796-04:00I think it helps with the new direction Funcom has...I think it helps with the new direction Funcom has went, including looking more to the PvE end of things in the expansion, and adding PvP as a side project in patches and what not.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment (and from me...a big agree)Elementalistlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17536627257855895757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647535028551977680.post-91000631986524919322009-09-22T11:02:16.424-04:002009-09-22T11:02:16.424-04:00I think Warhammer Online would die before AoC.

Warhammer Online on the other hand still has huge problems with its game design that people will bail en masse as soon as they find another PVP game. Aion might be that for many of them.Larshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02592787080006321384noreply@blogger.com
