Age of Conan

How many subscribers do you think AoC will have? I am highly interested in the responses, especially the reasoning behind them.

My own response to this would be any number between 50k to 300k... very broad, obviously. The reason it's interesting is because AoC has a lot of variables going for it right now. But more importantly, I'd like to know the reasoning from others on what they think will happen to this game.

probably around 250k or 300k max me thinks.

they could fix all the bad shit and add all the missing thingies but its had to rough a ride so far to become insanely popular again

id play it if it came around full circle

Pretty rare for games like this to grow much after the player base gave up on them so my guess is that your guess is probably about right. Probably something under 250K but enough to keep adding to the game.

there is no answer to this question at all. noone can say whats going to happen in a year from now. the game could be shut down or it could have a huge player base over 300k. wait a year from now and then ask another more suitable question.

well the game has about 200-250k now. If it keeps improvement and mass markets well it could grow to 300-350k maybe more.

I don`t think anyone can really answer that question.Funcom can still catch up and clean the mess they did,the new game director is on the right track and if they can do what Turbine do in terms of free content they can decently have a 300k until the new expansion is released.

I doubt the game Will close down. My guess is that both AoC and WAr will end up around 300K players, give or take 50K.

On the other hand, the release in Russia, Poland and Korea could change that a lot, and Also the X-box release if it ever happens.

With the Korean launch the game should at least reach 500K, since the game releases in korea when it should have been released for us too.

One thing this game has that othersthat didn't recover is it's ahead of the MMO technology curve.  As people upgrade their PC's over time they love to play good looking games.  This is by fay the best looking MMO out there and character animations and models look incredible.  MMO's get into a slump where everyone gets bored with what they're playing and nothing good on the horizon for a while and during those times people try other games.  This game will look good for a long time and as they continue to grow the game I think that will work in their favor.

Doubt AoC will fly in Korea, they love 'grinders' and Age of Conan is about as far from that as you could imagine. (unless you count the massive gathering grind)

Good luck to FC making money out of Russia, credit card fraud is rampant their. A large group of Russian hackers also shut down Anarchy Online more than once for a few days at a time ( DDOS attacks ) after FC banned some all Russian guilds.

Yeah I don't know how well this game will do in Korea.
