After reading this I am confident that Aion will rip the MMO crown off WoW's head.

Not to be a negative nancy but I still see some aion fanboism spread about >_<.

Just to remind you guys, these numbers aren't whats going to make Aion outshine wow. Consider the fact that the game is still in Obt so this doesn't revolve paying subscribers yet. The obt cap is 30 and no Abyss/End game content testing.

It could be another War/AoC if they don't play the end game content right, and honestly it does seem so

Very true. Aion is going to have to do more than attract people to pay to play, it's going to have to keep them too. And even if it manages to do this, Warcraft has a very dedicated crowd dating back to the days before it was even an MMO; there are people who will play WoW until the day the last server closes - Just look at Ultima Online, it's still going strong!

At the very least though, all this attention bodes well.

soon is a cruel, cruel word! lol

These are awesome numbers!! Thanks yet again for the translation, Hellrose.

[Kaldur]

Thx a lot Hell.

I'm happy the game is doing so well. I could care less about threshold comparisons with WoW, they are both very different games launched at a very different stages of MMO general knowledge. Those numbers don't mean that much.

[Omgwhathappened?]

Thanks alot Hellrose!

[oelkarl]

OMG! There's no doubt that Aion can be high as WoW. It's still mystery if Aion can beat the number of WoW, but as far it appears it is possible. =O Go Aion! US/Eu are waiting for you...

[Dominator]

It's over NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAND!!!!

[DemiGoth]

Funny to see that it took WoW around 2 months to hit 240K users, while Aion hits 200K in less than a week

[EDIT]

Not bugging you with dates Hellrose, but you refer to november 2005..?

[Cuj0]

z0mg that are for sure good numbers?! >.<

Thanks again Hellrose! SantaClaus will fill your house with an awesome numbers of gifts! like.. 200k units ;D
