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!

prepare to be flamed. the trolls are gonna attack this thread big time

...

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.

har har the evil hype machine of the devil staff of fc tricked u fools mwhahaha

this will get flamed in 1..

I trust FC. They know their shit...

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.

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.

They don't know squat.

Anarchy Online was hideous.

    AoC will have 115k - 135k subs by Dec 1 2008.... long live da king

thats 700k boxes sold. And most polls show at least 30% of the people  quit after the free month. I'm sure there are less than 500k people playing now

Seriously, you can't actually believe this.  I play the game and enjoy it, but I'm not going to say AOC is the top game I've ever played, nor that it is a WOW killer (doubt that will ever happen in our lifetime)

How can you say FC knows their "shit".  If you mean how to hype and spin a game, yes, I agree, they are proving to be masters of these subjects.  But the game is clearly lacking in many areas right now, has many bugs and defects (just try and get into the Noble Arena now, or play a female character) and you can't salute FC in any of these things.

AOC mostly works.  That's the best you can say about it right now.  But it certainly isn't a great game at this point, nor can we really predict its long term staying power.

Truthfully, if WAR doesn't blow, it will stomp all over AOC at the end of the year unless FC gets their act together quickly.
