I finally canceled my account for AoC today, unrelated to this though. Unfortunately Funcom doesn't really have what it takes, and even future plans seem really too little too late, or even in the wrong direction completely.
I waited and waited, in a server that dwindled as far as 100 people online on sunday evening, scraping the barrel to find even enough people to organize the easiest raid. Merges are coming "maybe" for the holidays... population problems were evident since july, and having to wait for a consolidation until december really killed the game for so many that it isn't even funny. Even more than the evident flaws of the game.
Too bad. I'm sure that, If successful, Conan would have had more than something to bring to the MMO industry as a whole. Now my hopes reside in Warhammer, that most definately has a developer more in touch with reality behind the game.

In any case it's too little and expecially too late. Many servers have problems reaching 100 people online on a sunday evening. How many are they gonna merge? 10? because 1000 people online are the bare minimum for an healthy population.
Server merging should have come when the problem shown it's head (back in june). Funcom preferred to censor all data about that. Now the population has bled too much to be really consolidated.
