The article is complete BS and is written by a WoW fanboi who is afraid AOC's large subscriber numbers will force the inevitable WoW server consolidation sooner rather than later.
I love the little pie chart! In case you didn't know, 80% of all statistics are made up right on the spot. That should tell you something.

Originally posted by 123443211234 HEH what a joke first the guy trashes the game and throws out a bunch of unsubstantiated numbers, then does a total turn atround and says the game is going to dominate WoW. I give this blog a rating of 1 on the credibility scale. I like how he says how he cannot even find the game on the shelf now. Come on down to my town dude, Best Buy and Walmart have plenty of copies. |

I haven't seen it linked, though I admit I didn't thumb through all of the pages of this thread, but that guy that posted that, posted an updated review that was pretty much the complete opposite. To me this makes both reviews two sides of a coin and neither reliable in the least bit. Any credibility he gained from this first he lost and received negative credibility for his flip-flop updated review. He's like a 12 year old politician or something.... wowriot.gameriot.com/blogs/Epidemic-Obesity/Age-of-Conan-Poised-to-Dominate-WoW/ The baffling absurdity in both reviews coming from two opposite angles is almost unbelievable. It's almost like he went to a wow fanboi and got some information, then went to an AoC fanboi and got some completely different information. Neither of which holds any water IMO. |

Same guy apparently: http://wowriot.gameriot.com/blogs/Epidemic-Obesity/
Earlier this week, I wrote a post detailing the early struggles of Funcom's recently launched Age of Conan title. After reading my article, a few astute readers notified me of some discrepancies in my figures, and I decided to dig a little deeper for the benefit of the public. My original operative maintains that her numbers are correct, but I cast a wider net this time, and the results were shocking. Age of Conan Sells Like Hotcakes Around the World Contrary to my initial reports that as many as 40% of retail copies were going unsold, nearly all retailers are sold out and having trouble meet | |||||
