WoW had 1.5 millions 4 months after relase. AoC already has 700k after 1 month. Impressive! I did not expect to see a WoW killer that soon!

 

Great work FC!

You seriously think this, or any other upcoming MMO, will stand a chance at dethroning WoW?

700k active or sold? there's a major difference.

Sadly thats just activated accounts, not active subs. Wait and see what the real subs are before jumping to praise.

And please, dont PM me again to ask me to stop not liking the game.

"But why so much hate? And don't tell me it is because you payed 50$ and you saw all those broken promises. Cause if you are a veteran gamer (which I suspect you are) you should have bought a million crappy games by now, like all of us. "
 

To answer that part of your PM: The point is we shouldnt have to be accepting of crappy games.

AoC claimed 550K purchases on release day, they now have 700K.  That means over the last month they only sold 150K boxes. 3 Months from now at that rate they are looking at 1.15M copies sold.(not active accounts but accounts sold)   That is also in a market that has grown by about an order of 10 since WoW came out.

 

Nice try though.

Behold! Rash of the Itch King comes in November! Quake in fear!

Hah, this isn't the King, not by a long shot. We don't need a king of MMOs, we need a group of Titans so that everyone can play what suits them best.

AoC is definetely not for everyone...

I don't think this nor any upcoming MMO that i know of will dethrone WoW but it is an easy target due to the fact that they roll out content so freakin slow.

Actually i think if Vanguard continues to improve the way it has over the last 6 months it obviously won't dethrone WoW but it could start stealing some subs from it.
