Late 2009 for an expansion to a dying game?

They need to focus on now not late next year. When are they going to give us the things listed on the first bow we bought from them? At this point I would not consider buying anything else ffrom their sorry #$#$^%*&(*((@#(@().

I find this disturbing. They have yet to get the features fixed and implemented listed on the box and they are worried about a expansion over a year from now? They need to focus on their broke assed game and make it stable. And while they are at it adding the content promised on the box and just after release would be a big plus.

Who cares about more fantasy vaporware for next year from the king of vaporware Failcom. Ive been seeing all kinds of stuff they say they are going to relaese for 4 years now and still have not seen most of that materialize in their game.

Most game development company’s start work on an expansion shortly after release. This is nothing new. This has nothing to do and has no impact on its live development and maintenance.

You say this like 400k+ is a bad number, and will send them into bankruptcy. Perspective is needed in your statement.

Want perspective?

Stop desperately clutching to month old subscriber numbers that have undoubtedly decreased substantially. And don't come back with "Those are August numbers!", because they're not. They're the numbers from the end of June, and include trials, cancelled accounts with time remaining, accounts on first free month, etc. Not to mention only a 50% retention of 800,000 boxes sold and less than 1/3 continuing profit from 1.2 million  boxes shipped.

Give up while you're ahead.

They are just hyping AoC. Remember that WAR and other games are going to be released soon. This expansion buzz is to help the sales of the current game.  They need to do some damage control, so an expansion announcement is perfect for them. Pretty much they want people to think that this game is doing great and that's why an expansion is coming.

And what about the Xbox version? I haven't heard nothing about it for awhile.

 

 Edit: I swear I read Funcom say that the expansion was coming early 2009. I guess they have a lot to work with.
