Probably as good a tool for indicating trends as anything else out there, certainly more reliable than using, say, Funcom numbers.

Why make a new post about this? Isnt it time you moved to war forums and start the hate there now, or have you started already?

Fact: average player of AoC is 29. Users of xfire is MUCH lower. I have a guild of 200 and NONE of them (that i asked or posed on a poll i did) use xfire, two tried it but there was issues with it and aoc so no longer use it.

Im beginning to think people 'get off' on making troll posts. If the aim is to destroy the game then your going to have to do a bit better, but its made these forums completly useless for people who want to try out new games. If your actually over the required age to play AoC i think you need to step back and think about spending your time doing something constructive.

Flame away, i rarely post anymore anyway.

Who exactly are you trying to convince? If it didn't cross your mind, those of us who do play, see the populations first hand. It's not out of the ordinary at all for people to resub during periods like these (major updates). SWG has seen the same random increases for years, just about every update causes them over there. Give it a few weeks and they will drop back down, I'd put money on it.

I find it rather strange you give WAR such a raving review after only a few hours play. In which you greatly exaggerate it's innovations, DYING ARMOR revolutionary? I take it you never played DAOC ? ..anyway.. Here you are back on the offensive against aoc. Quick question, what's the motivation driving you to do so? Hoping to sway a few more subs their way?

DaoC, EQ2, DnL, WoW, GW, SWG, AC, Tibia, WAR - atm: EvE and LotRO

Where exactly is the "fact" that 29 years is the median age of an AoC player from? Your skull imitiation seated crystal ball imitation?

If I was to specify an average just from the people I know that play AoC, the median age of an AoC player would be around 15, with 70% of these "customers" - aka littly whiny "mommy mommy, I wanna play this game"-kids - being leetspeaking geeks.

If any MMO has an average of 29 it would be "EvE-Online" which requires too much patience for an ADS-corrupted testosterone-pimple covered teenager.

Sorry, had to post this....

I'm interested in following the population trends personally, I found the thread useful as I like to keep tabs on how the game is doing from several different sources. If you weren't interested in reading the content why exactly did you do just that, and then post in it? Just for an opportunity to flame and insult the OP?

This is just as much news as anything else that goes on with AoC. It is sort of like a review that can't be faked or tampered with. Its like stock price. Funcom can't control either, fanatical zealots can't control either. That makes them both a great and more dependable source for seeing trends then say, fan hearsay or funcom press releases.

Lastly, you say its a fact that the average player of AoC is 29. I would like to see your evidence of this because there is no way that anyone has what would be needed to declare this as fact, in any game, for any reason. It is more likely your opinion.
