My official Aion subscription predictions!
With WoW dead in China! Aion will take the throne and become number 1. [Mod Edit]
We did it, WoW will end and a new era will begin. The ATE era. Do you play ATE? I play ATE, not WoW , but ATE standing for Aion: Tower of Eternity. ATE who ATE this, what is ATE, it is the newest, biggest, hugest MMORPG in the WORLD!
in a few days, WoW will finally shut down in China and we will have our throne, GO NCSOFT! The best MMORPG makes of all time.
Aion's official subscriber base will be: 7.3 million subs.
- Korea: 1.2 million
- China: 4.3 million
- United States/Canada: 400,000
- Europe: 300,000
- Australia: 200,000
- Japan/Taiwan: 900,000
- Russia: F2P; jk jk; about 30,000
Like I said, 7.3 million subs all around the WORLD! The OFFICIAL Aion subscribers.
Comments
you may have too much invested in this game. you shouldn't care how well this does in comparision to WoW. no one should want another MMO to die or not do well, other people are enjoying it, let them enjoy their game and you enjoy Aion. hopefully I'll be enjoying Aion with (or against) you.
Everything creates huge amounts of negativity on the internet, that's what the internet is for: Negativity, porn and lolcats.
Yeah all this subscription nonsense is stupid. As long as it's doing well who cares. No one cares except for those who like to show they are right. I'm sure we'll hear from the person who made the silly post on how it only has 1.7 million or whatever. Take the argument to private chat.
Frankly who cares?
The only numbers I care about are how many people are on my server. As long as I have plenty of Elyos friends to slaughter Asmos fur bags, who cares about the rest of the world?
Seriously people need to stop being lemmings. Who cares if it has 1 billion subs, or 300K? Makes ZERO difference. So long as the game makes money, which it will, NCSoft will keep supporting it and keep the servers open.
Stay off drugs please.
I'm curious where did you get these numbers from?
And no your ass does not count as a reliable source of information.
I think the 400k for us and canada is conservative. I have it on good authority that all 7 of the people still playing warhammer plan to switch to aion.
So wheres the source?
Did anyone read the first line of the OP's post?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
/played: EQ, EQ II, DAoC, WoW, LoTRO, AoC, CoH/CoV, WAR, Aion, Tera, Wildstar and many others that don't merit listing
/playing: Clash of Clans, Hearthstone
Some of them numbers are way off, Australia 200,000 people out of a total of 21mil people and the USA with 400,000 with a pop total of 309mil people + 31mil Canada (give or take)
If you going to predict remember Population
It was probably his predictions or something because 400,000 in America and Canada is a bit low.
Yeah, besides the numbers, half his statement is sheer stupidity at its finest.
"WoW will be dead in China" Really? If Aion was that great, wouldn't it be dead a while ago? Or are you mistaking the fact that WoW in China is switching providers there, and has to go down for a month or so as them cancelling it there? My bet? The latter, you seem way too unintelligent to catch that bit of fact.
This thread fails on many levels (total garbage and a waste of space).
Aion has a lot of potential to be a good game. Unlike other launches before it however, it's not the game itself that may tank, but the amount of effort put behind battling cheating and botting in it. Unless NCsoft managed to keep the game really really bot free (people are extremely sensitive due to L2 mismanagement), this game will go nowhere fast in the west.
The world is such a beautiful place when you're 12 years-old and in looooooove.
Those of us who have been around the block a few times see things for what they are. Enjoy your 30-day honeymoon, OP!

Well, the game is not out yet so I doubt he can, hehe
Yes, but he can dreeeam on these hot, summer nights, waiting for the next hit of beta.

So your final prediction is that WoW will still be bigger than AION?
This just in ladies and gents...the sky...it is indeed blue. In addition the sky does not fall...ever...unless you post on MMORPG.COM. In which case it falls every other day. This is your friendly weatherman Satan reminding you to bring an umbrella...and mace. And now to Jesus with Sports.

I really hope most of the replies if not all of them are sarcastic.
cuz im ROFL rite now, thx i needed that.
god that dude in other topic is such a .... LOL
Why are people so hellbent on killing WoW, give it a break already will you. It's starting to become weird.
Man change the SUB lmao on this. Its not offcial.. you just LIED to get people to see some lame prediction. That alot make about new MMO's and to this day have never come true. Feel sorry for you.. just made yourself look like a...... You will never be able to know how many are playing Aion. For all we know the 3.5 they say are no more then all the people that started at launch up to say May 2009. But lmao are they still playing you ask.. we never ever get a answer. The US will be lucky to see 300k.
And OP your talking about a FreeTOPlay game that makes you PAY to play. AoC, Warhammer had more post about them before they were launched then Aion does and it is launched haha.
But who really cares. Go try jade Dynasty.. or any game like that ... then play Aion.. lmao..
weird is when asian kids throw them selfs of a roof because they did not win a loot roll...or incest

I don't see how sub numbers really matter at a certain point, all I really care about is that there is plenty of action in the server I play on. While I do see Aion will have success, I don't care if it may or may not kill WoW. I think Blizzard has made a great profit from WoW already, so it wouldn't really hurt Blizzard.
I bwnr Aion intimately and I could care less how many people are playing except that at least it has a couple of fHigh-to-full Servers for some pvp action.
Who gives a rat's ass about how many people are in WoW.
/that's it
No idea why these threads keep popping up,I even lol at the OP for his "official" comment.
I could not care less,wow has 11mil but Aion has only 3 mil...ohh dear god!!!
Pfft get a grip and grow up,play what YOU find is fun and go from there,all the rest is BS.
Hey I really enjoy a nice steak but the mrs hate's it....does that mean I was wrong and that steak doesnt taste nice?
The hell it does.
If someone had came up to me in 1980 when I was on my Atari 2600 and said we will be playing games with thousands of people at the same time.I guess my response would have been,"but I only have 2 joysticks"
