Age of Conan

Only a few das after launch, Funcom can now reports that Age of Conan has passed the 400.000 subscriber mark. It´s still short of their designed server capictiy of 600.000- 700.000 subcribers, but Funcom seems to be pleased.

However, Olav Sanders are still aiming for one millsion subscribers within the next 3 month

I cant believe they dare released there subscriber number at this time. I remember that Eidos have shipped/produced about 700.000 units of Age of Conan. Thats mean there are still 300.000 units there is NOT sold. I also remember when I was down in my local EB game store here there was entire rows of AoC boxes.

Very good numbers. Buts its a tad shy from the 700,000 some posters have been posting on.  Are these official numbers?

Why wouldn't they release sub numbers? 400K in the first week puts them in the top 10 games pay MMO's right now, and it might help convince folks who are holding back from buying it to go pick up one of those 300K copies you seem concerned about that are unsold on the shelves. (maybe they'll end up in the land of misfit toys?) 

I'd say it points to a solid launch so far, time will tell whether they can reach the magic 1M mark.

Impressive but since it s the free month period it won t impress me much till a month or 2 after that free time is up. Even then they have alot of competition to contend with shortly after that.

Good job, as long as people don't get too bored too fast they could hit 1 mil. It's a good start anyways.

Here is info you need:

However Funcom will not report any further subscriber number due to uncertainty finacial guidance. I also find this strange; So far I remember there was over one million sign up for the beta?

Lets wait 2-3 month and see

SOLD OUT IN NEW ZEALAND

It just arrived late in NZ and is already sold out .. some people gotta wait for a new shipment .

THIS GAME IS MASSIVE!

hmm, aint the 30 days free trial still active. Why should 400.000 players start paying when they still got like 24 freebies left?

I believe they are referring to retention of players after the initial included 30 days of service.
