Seems like play.com discounted sale of AoC boxes is a hit. The game climbes like 3 rankings pr day. It's rank 19 today. www.play.com/Games/PC/6-/TopSellers.html
If anyone contemplates on buy the game, get over there now, it's only 7.99 pound while it lasts. Certainly better priced than 39.95 $ in most other stores.
Edit: Change title to reflect change in Play.com best seller ranking.

I decided to resub to this game after the crappy launch. I'm glad I did! The game is in way better condition and is a very nice change up from WOW in which I have been playing since launch. I so love the music sound and graphics of AOC. This is where I will stay untill Darkfall releases which I hope turns out to be as good as it sounds. Do try AOC if ya have been thinking about it. I have feeling this game is going to pick up as far as subs and ratings. It is not half as bad as most people on this site claim it to be! (I like it alot!!!)

AoC on sales rank 17 in play.com. (EU)
This cracks me up. A glimmer of hope for a game thats dead. You do realise that it only takes into account the Europe side? When AoC is on a top 20 list from Amazon or some other U.S. company then maybe you can hoot and holler about it being 17th.
Less than 900 xfire users yesterday, LOL
This reminds me of that little poll site they linked to that showed AOC as #2. They find any obscure, unknown place and then count anything as a 'sign' LOL.
The fact is that on every 'major' site like amazon.com.. AOC isn't listed in the top 100 PC games sales. AOC hasn't been on Amazon's chart since May.
This cracks me up. Do you realize that Europe has more people than North America?
Xfire shows the total population for all games right? Because everyone has to have it to play it right?
Currently restarting World of Warcraft
You are incredibly ignorant about the reality of the situation. AoC is the fifth most purchased MMO on Direct2drive, and the number tenth Game overall.
According to my wife who works for EB/Gamestop corporate (and hates AoC) Sales are still very brisk.
The only thing you have to show is a lot of Xfire tards aren't playing AoC....the vast majority of people that play AoC doesn’t use that crap program. I don’t play AoC currently because of family commitments and the fact that I just had a WAR guild dumped in my lap….however you are retarded if you think for one minuet that AoC is dead. The game has found an audience and that audience is comparable to most other MMO’s today. Hate the game fine, just stop lying about it.

You make it seem like this is a huge accomplishment. Fact of the matter is that there were few mmorpg releases this year and considering the hype surrounding Age of Conan, it should have been number 2 or 3, closely struggling with Warhammer Online. The fact it's number 5 shows how poorly the game is selling at this moment.

Wish it dead all you want guy, it's still has an audiance, the audience seems to be growing and it isn't going anywhere. The only thing that is fail here is your poor attempt at Scocial Engineering.

OMG you cracked me up so hard with that doll joke. LOL LOLOLOLOL...Bwahahahaaa!!! My god that was funny.
Hey nice poll by the way. Over 14000 people voted for game of the year 2008 and AoC comes in with over 2250 of those votes not bad, but Fallout 3 still PWN AoC again.
Yeah but we would be living in some kind of weird Schitzo world if a Fallout game didn't kick major ass come award time. But yeah most of the hate machine will say that AoC doesn’t even have 2k players.......the campaign of hate has gotten so retarded. I was talking to some idiot in GS yesterday he was bragging about how his friends are keeping a couple AoC accounts going just so they can Troll the Official forums..... "We won't rest until failcom closes!"
How Majorly damaged do you have to be to waste time with that kind of stupidity?

Well good luck with that (for them), AoC offciial forums are like 100000 fans in the true meaning of the word these days. I guess 2 vs 100000 will be a oretty though job. LOL.

haha thats what i was gona say, what a nubbin.
My blog:
Glad to hear that people are happy with AOC and its doing ok for that crowd. I wouldn't worry what anyone on this forum says as it seems full of trolls and proffesional hate mongres. Unfortunately too many on this forum expect every game to launch perfectly and meet their personal standards for what they expect a MMORPG to be. Kind of funny to hear them holler because the said game is buggy, isn't WoW, lacks content they desire, classes stink or unbalanced etc. Seems those people never learn not to pickup a MORPG at launch or to actually read what the games audiance they are targeting. Personally I don't like what AoC is about so I skipped the game (playing War/POtBS), but respect other gamers rights to enjoy a game made for their interests without crying for the devolpers to change the mechanics to fit my game play desires.
Yeah I'm busy with WAR atm as well, I think I'll give it another go in a coupel weeks when the winback program starts. I will say this watching my friend play a couple nights back...they did a simply amazing job on Ymirs pass, If Funcom keeps cranking out content like that the game will be around for a long time.
I don't know about most people but for me, Xfire causes AoC to crash sometimes when I alt-tab so I don't use it. That and with AoC you need all the free resourses you can get!
If thats the case than it really looks bad for Funcom. Doesnt matter how many people buy it. What matters is how many people keep playing, and by the looks of it, over 90% quit after less than 3 months. Nice try though.
So by your explanation of xfire I guess AoC is the exception to the rule. Even though you can read post after post of deserted servers, AoC is doing just great. Funcom hasnt laid anyone off because the game is doing so well. Where is Baghdad Bob when you need him, lol.
One more thing. That stock price also reflects how good Funcom and AoC is doing. Its only droped 95% since its release.

Talk about how much the game lost since launch all you want to mate, it still doesnt change the fact that the audience it has today seems to be staying and growing. they have server merges in the air to fill in the empty servers that was deserted from the big launch fail wave.
Oh and i havent played AoC since the release days, but i am also on of the very many it seems who are just on the edge, waiting for some endgame and a welcome back free day pass
.
Its nothing of its former glory, but it seems to be going up for the first time since launch.
Im just glad to see games like AoC and Vanguard shaping up, althou vanguard wasnt really for me i can definetly see AoC taking my gametime again sometimes this spring (competition from WoW, EvE WiS, Aion, Darkfall)
You should lighten up abit, sheer for the game if it actually seems to be shapening up. If your like me and refuse to pay for it again before atleast a free try then so be it. But theres no need to still be pissed they took money from you with there false pormises at launch, get over it
It was a long time ago now.
FagerCraft - Feeding the trolls on mmorpg.com since 2005.
Yep, AOC, Vanguard and Anarchy Online.. all are at the top of the list as far as MMORPGs go. Great company.
? hmmm... something tells me you think VG and AoC are made by same company?? just NO.
VG is made by Sigil which was bought by sony. The min that happened everyone that had been following VG instantly said puck it.
Anyways, AoC has found its niche audience, and lest face it, every game but WoW will be niche until something that has as much fan fair is released. The only games that can compete with WoW are other franchise games, and the 1 game coming out that looks promising is KOTRO.
On a side note
Stock prices can't be used to show how much of a faliure FC is. FC stock spiked when AoC was released, just like every other MMO company, and then dropped off after box sales started to be non exsitant, just like every other MMO company. FC stock actually leveled off in Augest to be just above what it was at prior to AoC release. But, due to lack of investments due to a World wide recession, FC started to lose value again, just like every other company in the world execpt Walmart. THe key difference between FC and other MMO companies is that FC only has 1 other game still generating revenue, which is AO and all other games it has created have been sold and they no longer make money off of their sales. What people fail to understand is, just because a company has been in existence for a long time doesn't mean it isn't a flediing company.
Until FC is able to retain games under their license, it will continue to go through this sort of cycle, unless it makes a game that can topple WoW. One benefit that FC has over other games is that each of the new games its bringing out has a good RP following and each game has a unique and in depth and unique story behind it. Only time will tell if this model is successful.
Perdiction, expect FC stock to rise Q2 of 09 and have a small spike in late Q3 of 09.

No, I meant they are all games that had highly hyped releases and are now in the <50,000 subscriber base. They are all games who have a few diehards who post incessentantly on the forums about how the game as 'turned the corner' and is getting better. Go to their forums, there are the same type of people as on these forums saying the same things.
AOC has fallen out of the group with Eve, Lotro and warhammer.. it is now with Vanguard and Anarchy online.
When I said 'great company'.. I didn't mean Funcom the company, i meant ' group'.
Oh yeah right, some more misinformation please. Funcoms stock never leveled off till October where it can't go much lower. All the way through August it was still looking like a downhill racer.In january it was at $4.75 USD a share and in late July it was again at $4.75 USD a share, by the end of August it was at $2.75 a share and has continued to drop to around 30 cents US a share.

The game is pretty much dead now except for the die hard fans. I would be willing to bet that there are few MMORPG players left that have not tried it or at lerast heard about it. Prediction - The game may level off now and/ or continue a slow bleed but it will never be much more than it is now.
