Ask yourselves 4 questions 1. How many "channels" or instanced realities are open in the leveling grounds 1-20? it used to be 8 to 10. The number of channels were changed from 5 to 10 since launch and haven't been changed since. They're not linked to the amount of players in a given zone. 2. How many of your guild people still logged in in the last weekend that were there on launch? Quite a few actually, others not. I'd have to say 50% of the players I've known since launch still log on regularly. The rest? some have quit, others have rerolled etc. normal fair really. 3. How does it come only 2 servers on each continent are on "high". On Europe there are at least 6 full servers at prime-time. 4. How does it come that on both amazon.com and amazon.co.uk Aion is even OUT of the top 30 in PC(?!?!? sic) sales. So growth is ... NILL. Um so you expected sales to keep growing even after the initial surge of players buying boxes? riiiiight. This game is a "farce" (like the OP said) because it was simply created by a Korean investment group to get western subscription money. So here's where all your hate comes from! In reality it is hardly a game (size wise, Pve and PvP wise, botting/gold industry wise and new mechanics wise). Here you are trolling again.
/sigh....
Why?
Those 4 questions just worked against you, it just shows that you have no idea about the game.

Actually, for a 7 week old game to not show up in the top 30 of PC(sic !) games on both amazon.com and amazon.co.uk is very bad. And that's controllable.
Just like its 65% drop in the highest weekend play. From Oct 1st to last weekend.
Actually I was with a friend yesterday and he logged in at 09.30 PM on a sunday and ALL realms (except 2) were on recommended status.
For the 10 channels/instances.: only one was used while he played a new character.
BTW He just logged in to show me the status of the game. He cancelled his sub too. What a surprise.
The only noticible thing I witnessed was the apalling female screaming of his character. It was like watching an old Korean Karate C movie, but without the movie part of course.
Why do you continue this war of hatred against what seems to be The Koreans, Aion in general and anyone who enjoys a game you don't?
You fire off statistics and figures that are all quite pointless and say nothing about the true standing of the game. I had no idea everyone in the entire European and North American markets only shop at Amazon, for example.
Stop coming to the Aion forums if all you are going to do is be this negative, unhelpful, untruthful troll.

I don't know the status of the US servers, just saying that there are more than 2 full servers at prime time in EU. Don't generalize and lie that "only 2 servers on EACH continent are on high".
The second lie. How many times do I have to tell you: There is ALWAYS 10 channels to choose from regardless of the population number. It's simply NOT possible to see a single instance, so either you're lying and making things up or you weren't concentrating enough to notice the other 9 channels.
Comparing MMOs with normal games is not very clever. Comparing MMOs with FREE downloadable games is even stupider. Have you ever seen what's in this top 30 list of yours? there are even stuff like a razer mouse and Kasperski AV. How can you base anything off such a list?
The best selling PC games list on www.amazon.com is NOT made for measuring sales. Like Xfire, it doesn't tell the whole story (not even half of it as far as I'm concerned). I wish you stopped posting these so called "facts".
For the record, I might not even resub this month either. There are some issues that make me sick, but since Aion's launch, you haven't touched on a single issue the game has, just trolling and basing information on wrong/skewed facts.

You guys are really harshing on my Blocked User mellow each time you quote him.

We are all having fun in Aion, isnt that what really counts? Let them talk.... ive already stopped respondind threads like this, except for times like this when im in a good mood to answer
People like that just hate it because Aion is still doing well despite their predictions of loosing massive amounts of subs , which i have yet to see. Granted the bots are the biggest thing to deal with but they are doing something, slowly but they are banning them as fast as they can at the moment.
People just assume there are hundreds of GM that sit around doing nothing about the bots. There might be a total of 10 for the 20 or so US servers. Your not gonna see massive banning. Your gonna see slow buildup like we have. It is no where near as bad as it was a month ago.

Grow up tbh.

he never will. Also just resubbed and rerolled asmo very happy. The gold spam is basically gone and no bots from levels 1-25 which is good.
I really cant understand why you ppl still give credit to this guys. Not even gonna mention Zorn, because we all know him.
The fact is Aion still is, and will continue to be, the 2nd most played MMORPG, period. If this is not a victory then i dont know what is.
Here are XFire market shares, i know this means little, but it is just a number to support what im saying. www.xfire.com/genre/mmo/massively_multiplayer_online/
