    It would be nice to see another successful game hit the market.  I don't care if it the new biggest game on the market or not as long as it isn't shedding hundreds of thousands of players and closing half of its servers 6 months after release.

    And 11.5mil of WoW, compare to 3.5mil, i think Aion will need quite some time if it does indeed catch up.
     
     



     

    Do you honestly think WoW has 11.5 million after 6 or so millions of those subs where "completely" unable to play for over 2 months?

     

    Yes, because servers is back online...

     

     

     

    its not 11.5 million subs for wow, its probably 11.5 million accounts, that includes me who hasnt played for 2 years. theres not 11.5 million paying customers.

    I'll never understand why you people care so much about numbers of accounts or people playing certain games...

    I think they should let a panel of people count both WoW's and Aion's sub numbers so this way we don't have typos on the internet and we can actually for once find out the real numbers. Though honestly, I could care less how many subs WoW or Aion has.

    So people believe wow has 11.5 million subs but dont believe Aion has 3.5 million subs in asia, after all it is an asian game. Bad fanbois bad!!!

    Because they all flock to the game that has the most subs.

    TBH a lot of peopel are stil ltrying to find a game that will be the "legendary wow killer" Sorry to say this but Aion just ain't one of them. The only "WoW killer" that i think has a chance even is Blizzard's new IP MMO that they are developing.

    This is bound to happen to virtually every game now (save for some of the Asian games).  The genre has grown to the point where there are always a few hundred thousand people willing to switch to the next big release to see if it will capture them.  It won't, they move on, doom and gloom is then posted all over the internet about the game sucks and will be dead in 6 months.

    Until you cancel your subscription, you are only helping to continue the cycle of mediocrity.

     LOL don't tell me you really belive that? there are about 6 mln copies of  WOTLK sold. Now, tell me. how many ppl you know, who plays WOW without any of its expantions? huh? couse acording your numbers. there must be. 6 mln players who are playing wotlk, and about 5,5 mln who still plays original WOW.

     

    And here comes the truth.

    basically there are playing only about 5-6 mln player in WOW right know. couse we dont see a lot of souls playing Original WOW in Azeroth right now, don't we?

    sorry for my bad english. and have a nice day.

    Those numbers don't mean jack. Remember the launch of WAR with its huge hype? Maybe you don't, but it crashed head over knees within the first 3 months which pretty much killed off everyone who was interested in it.
    I'm not saying that Aion will follow such example, but the numbers of subs before it's fully released world wide isn't a good representation of the amount of players who will stay interested and continually sub to Aion.

     

    Listen.. WAR and AoC smelled like a failure from miles away, I didn't even touch those two games. And I'm playing Aion, and I have preordered it. So there you have it. These numbers mean something because there is a DECENT game behind them.

    Wotlk sold 4million copies in the first month of release (only avaliable outside of china) Wotlk has been in the top 3 sales spots since release 11 months ago.  That's all people who dispute the numbers need to know.

    Relax Coffee. Nobody truly thinks Aion will kill WOW, its just wishful thinking. Everyone has seen the numbers. Even those of us that do not believe the numbers know that WOW has the most subs.

    I am not sure gold farmers or bots is an issue to bring up when trying to criticize WOW in relation to Aion. Trust me, Aion has as bad of an issue with it as WOW does.



     

    well sure Aion has gold miners. but I guess what I am saying is just because wow and aion say the numbers, not all are players and well people here are thinking its just beta so can't think it might not be 3.1 million minus bots and such... It has been a year in asian community so I believe it can get up 3.1 milion or 2.1 not counting bots lol
