A mmo is a great succees if it can sell that many box and keep their costumers.

Vivendi tried to sell Blizz for 500 milions in 2003 cause they were loosing millions since many years and they needed a lot of cash fast;but no one was smart enough to buy Blizz from them.

EA paid more than 800 millions fot Mythic last year...what a joke.

Blizzard make quality games since 11 years that is why they had 11.5 millions paying subs last year for WOW.

NCSOFT never had any decent CS in any of it's game and it's about GREED not about having the money or not.

BTW NCSOFT is making a nice profit with AION since way before the launch in the WEST.

"When we spoke with NCsoft corporate relations director Jaesung Lee in Seoul after the Korean launch of Aion, the company was boasting concurrent users peaking at 150,000 just one day after opening, and by the end of 2008 was cornering 15 percent of the market in its native country.

In fact, as revealed in NCSoft's May 2009 results, the game managed quarterly revenues of $35 million from Asian operations, nearly as much as previous mainstays Lineage 1 and Lineage 2 made combined.


After seeing a drop in fiscal 2008 profits, NCsoft has started 2009 with solid financial results for its first quarter ended March 31.

NCsoft said numbers were up because it was able to generate major revenues with its new MMORPG, Aion, which launched in Korea in Q4 2008, as well as maintain stable Asian sales of its flagship franchise Lineage.
Gamasutra - News - Aion Drives Sharp Rise In Sales, Profits For NCsoft
NCsoft's Aion was able to capture the most sales on a per title basis for NCsoft during Q1, generating KRW 42.65 billion ($34.57 million), nearly as much as Lineage 1 and Lineage 2 made combined."

NCsoft's company-wide headcount is currently 2,316, with 1,310 of those in development and the rest serving in non-development functions.
Gamasutra - News - Aion Preorders Reach 400,000
Basically,

NCSoft, the largest MMO company in the world refuses to hire employees to support their games but boasts that they are selling a successful game. I wonder if the investors are reading these forums

I'm very embarrassed that I've purchased this game. I've added to their bragging rights and bumped their numbers supporting their stock market greed. They've in effect, produced a product they had no intention to support. They've had the money, they knew the demands of the western market, they chose to ignore it.


How sad.


The real sad thing is that the majority of the numbers that are posted are inflated from droves of bots. They're far from accurate.




-------------------------

Yes, I've checked RAM etc....

I promise you, it's not my computer. MANY people have reported the issue. It's known. NCSoft acknowledges it they're just not giving updates. It's not something that is unique to me.

Typical NCfail fanboy response. The OP has made nothing but valid claims and accusations throughout this thread. All you little scrubs in here however can't handle truth about this game and no choose to openly insult anyone who posts something different from your opinions.

Try to come up with facts instead of childish insults next time you post in here.

Welcome to Aion!

Now you too understand my cynicism in my first post.

There's a VAST difference from being a fan, and a fanboy.

Your logic in labeling someone a fanboy also applies in reverse. There's a vast difference between having a legitimate complaint and being a troll.

You are right!

We all know how great the CS in China is for AION

Yes I know you have another excuse ready...we all know NCSOFT has no experience with MMO business AION is only their sixth one right?

Yes, and the irony would come from a well known troll calling someone a fanboy. To then have said troll post "irony" is deliciously amusing.
