I wonder if xfire double counts for people with multiple accounts (which is everyone that plays Eve). |

I doubt Eve has more subscribers than AoC though. Eve has a very high appeal to internet geeks and is more hardcore then mainstream ( aoc has a box at best buy, eve doesn't). The type of players to have xfire are much more likely to know about EVE. Also Eve player continually 'recruit' players to post on forums and get stuff like xfire. It's their only marketing. If you are an ex-wow player and want to come back. Scroll of Rez gives 7 free days, boost a character to 80 a realm and faction change. Send me PM for an invite. Only 1 per day available |

You just pointed out flaw on, in your definitive Xfire exposé. Xfire is not a measure of anything, but Xfire users.

Not that that’s not impressive foe Eve and its architecture. Eve is also a game that would fall under the title of "Failed" by many AOC haters here, that has clawed its way back up to creating revenue. How soon we all forget. |

Indeed, atleast according to OP thats the main point of this thread. I'm sure AoC and Eve have around the same number of subscriptions, but compared to eve; AoC's numbers will only go down. This is unless Funcom actually does something to prevent people from leaving and improving upon the game.

Again, we are talking about Eve here, have we forgotten its history? Eve would qualify as "The Fa!l" by many haters here, and has pulled its self back up to being a financial success......YEARS later. AOC is already a finical success. I’m not fighting the OP's post...Just put it back into perspective. |

So you mean to tell me with all the backlash they have the same amount of subs now, as they did at the end of June?

Actually its around 50,000. Also EvE's architecture is designed to be easily extended which means that when the Concurent users approaches 50,000 CCP will just add more server Nodes and Re-distibute the nodes. Also concerning EvE clawing its way back up to finantial success.
AOC had backing from investors and was being put together by a large software company with prior experience and could afford a LOT of advertisement. EvE however had very little finantial backing [i belive it was mainly a subsidy from Iceland] from begining to end and was being put together by a new company with a small number of people whose prior gaming experience included playing UO and amking a bourd game whose profits were used to fund EvE. And EvE had very little advertising.
So all things considered for an indy game that tried to be different by not going down the WoW route it did pretty well especially considering that since it went live its been steadily and constantly growing in Paying accounts. Another great example of Moore's Law. Give people access to that much space (developers and users alike) and they'll find uses for it that you can never imagine.

I don't think you guys want to pull the AoC vs Eve debate. Seriously, you're playing with fire if you do. Once Eve lets players walk around space stations the subs are going to Jump. Have you seen the atmospheric flight demo? once we can fly around in a planets atmosphere its over. Eve has tremendous possibilities while AoC is created by a company that destroyed one of the better Sci-fi skill based hybrid mmo's with crappy expansions and lack of attention. I try to stick up for AoC cause I had hope it would at least be as good as vanguard. For the eve fan that posted about eve in a AoC forum, you have disgraced Eve and yourself for even posting a topic of a much superior game in this failing games forums.

There was somewhere a chart of subscriber numbers and Eve isnt a small game. If I remember right it was in the Top 10. Its constantly getting more subs and it deserves it. Its a wonderful game. AoC is declining and even if the numbers of the subs is going below Eve its still a lot. |

if Xfire stats are relatively the same, that would still put AoC somewhere in the 200-300k active sub mark. (yes I know they said 415k, but you all know as well as I do, that that doesnt take into consideration those who cancelled but still had gametime left.) still, 200-300k is nothing to sneeze about....
