You're better off asking Google than in here if you're after facts.

However, I looked it up and made it 53%. I'm no economic genius by a long shot, so maybe I screwed up the numbers. Either way, it's a large amount.

The drop is no big deal given the state of the stock market and the fact that the game isn't growing.  What is a big deal is how far it dropped, it is back down to where it was 2 years ago when the game was still in development.  That is a really bad thing, it means the game itself did not increase the value of the company even though they put 5 years of work into it.

cool, mmorpg.com playing at being stock analysts again.

Consider this........people buy shares cheap (right before a mmo launch) and sell it 2 to 3 weeks after release for the highest price.

Once financial figures are released for the quarters to decemeber its not going to be very clear....
