"The best selling PC game of May continues to hold the #1 spot in most markets.
More than 700.000 gamers have registered an Age of Conan account so far."

"In the second month after release it is also clear that Age of Conan has taken the position as the undisputed #2 subscription MMO in the western world. "

30-40% of that 700,000 probably already unsubscribed. I like how they say #2 in the western world too. Nice use of wording to make it sound better, nowhere near #2 if it was a world wide count.

undisputed?

I dispute it.

How many of those 700k are still subscribers :P

See, you can't take sales and equate that with current subscribers.  That is a fail.

Yeah, I agree, Funcom takes spin to new heights, they are masters of it.

Let's see a few retention ratios, bet it lowers the sub numbers quite a bit...

Uh, that's because the Eastern world has different tastes. Last I heard Lineage II was king of the eastern world.

Default Server 'Fury' has reached player limit

The PvP server 'Fury' has reached the maximum amount of player characters today. This means that at the moment no new characters can be created on 'Fury'.

This limit will be increased on the next update (planned for Wednesday) so new characters can be created again.

Thank you.

One server filled, oh boy and yet you don't even know the maximum number they have set for that server and right away you take it as some indication the game is packed. Really? So all the "I quit because the game is buggy" threads are moot? Better get Funcom the "I Win" hat for this one folks!
