First IF you would have READ the 2nd quarter results of NCSoft, you would have seen that the "massively and newly launched success" of Aion hardly made more money ... than Lineage 2, which has ... 60K subs in the west. See you own text please....

Add the newly sold copies of a new launched product and the subscriptions hardly went anywhere the moment the free launch Beta period in China was over.

NO more subs mentioned also in thet quarter report. Wouldn't it be nice to talk about the so called millions of Aion players JUST before the western launch ???

The fact remains that the Chinese only went massively to the free Beta, but the moment Aion became a paid servcie in China the numbers weren't as great as the launching hype.

NCSoft made exactly the same wind with Lineage (supposed millions at launch in the east !) and the game has hardly any western subs (60K).

So much for the soulless .Korean copy.

Another dud in MMO land.
How many more Wow copies do we need before the money runs to our pockets run dry of inferior products....
