Is Age of Conan a rousing success or a stinking failure?

I don't know how anyone could consider it a financial failure. If that Xfire number is representative of the whole, the game is set to easily make $100 million in the next 12 months.

The game certainly has its detractors, but that's not stopping it from doing quite well for Funcom.

Seems like it's doing well enough to me. Maybe people just moved on from Xfire? I know I have.

Anyways, I'm just getting started in AoC and it's got a lot of promise. It has already delivered on most everything too. Graphics are amazing, combat is insanely cool, etc. I for one am not attracted to WoW's cartoony art style... AoC is a breath of fresh air in that regard, plus the combat system is a huge step forward.

I'm still surprised that people jump into brand new MMO's and say "what's this? bugs on release? well, I never!" It's pretty much par for the course that MMO's have lots of kinks to be worked out at launch. WoW was so buggy at launch and had such huge server lag issues that I couldn't stand playing it for more than an hour at a time. At least AoC is bearable. Actually the ONLY MMO I've seen that was really polished at launch was EQ2.
