Who would have thought ? After a sub par release Flagship has turned this game around making it one of the best games on the market today. In less than a year the game now has more than 1 million active subscribers. Great job guys !

I had heard it was a big hit in Asia.  Unfortunately, it still doesn't seem to be doing all that well in the US.   The US server still doesn't seem well populated.   Maybe the new content update, The Abyss Chronicles, will motivate people to play.  If they ever get around to uploading it, that is.

i always loved the game, even with its bugs, i pay the sub because frankly its dirt cheap, and the game is a great hack and slash in my honest opinion. Just as long as you don't treat it as an mmorpg or mmofps.....it is great.

Yeah they have fixed many things to make the game run a heck of alot better now and my pc isn't top notch either. Alot of people are playing on the Test Center because they want to see patch 2.0 which really looks awesome.  Lag is always an issue in just about every game I have played. Don't think there is an actual company who completely defeats the lag monster online, it comes in many forms unfortunately.

If you are coming back, GET TO STONEHENGE. Everyone I know who quit the game quit before they got to stonehenge. Everyone who stayed got to stonehenge :D. I think I see a pattern here.

Now break that down. Show how many are NA/EU subs, and how many are asian. Sad to say, but the asian countries will play any old thing.

Goozex.com Try it, you'll like it.

Don't have sigs with a cheerleaders butt swinging in it, or the prudes in the Age of Conan forum section of mmorpg.com will demand the mods have it removed.

They have probably shifted 1 million copies of the game , but this post is misleading because there's no way 1 million have actually subbed to this game. Its a good game but remember you dont have to subscribe to play it. You have to register your game to play it online though and this is probably why everyone is confused.

Log in to the game, and step foot in any station, you're going to see a crowd. The chat channels are filling up a bit more every day...I was in Stonehenge last night and was impressed by the numbers running around and grouping up.

It may not be the WoW-Killer blockbuster hit, but you trolls can pack your bags up and get over it: The game has improved, and more and more people are coming back or giving it a try, and staying.

Keep going "LOL Flagshipped", there's a lot of AAA-Developed MMO's that I think could learn a lesson or two for their devotion to the community. And it's starting to pay off for everyone.

For everyone else, see ya in Stonehenge until the Abyss opens up
