Age of Conan

January: 2nd semester started again at university and people are taking on New Year's Resolutions...they aren't going to play a lot in January.

February: Total hours for Xfire will be lower because it is a short month. And people have lives and go on dates on Valentines.

March: It's spring break. You think people are going to play on Spring Break?

April: People have final exams. Why would they play in April?

May: It is the start of the summer...people have lives and like to be outside, they aren't going to play.

June-August: See May.

September: It is the start of school people don't have time to play. They can do that during the winter.

October: It is the last nice part of the year people aren't going to play until it gets cold and there is nothing else to do.

November: The Presidential election is more important than playing AoC. Numbers will obviously be down.

December: Most people have lives during Christmas holidays and aren't going to be stuck at home playing a video game.

/sarcasm

PS: Aparently my try at sarcasm failed. This is a joke at the cost of people finding excuses for lower population.

Then explain the 700k the first month since we are too busy with life to play?? If a game is good people will make time for it around their busy lives if they are luck enough to have a life lol.

Subscriptions are down because the games sucks, did not deliver what was promised and the patched that break more than they fix are more than most people can stand with a bottle of nerve pills.

LOL game is not finished nor ever will be.

Oh dear....I hope that the guy who posted that on the official forums was being sarcastic because if he wasn't....well...that's pretty damn pathetic.

November: The Presidential election is more important than playing AoC. Numbers will obviously be down

LOL

nm he was being sarcastic. SWEW!

The simple reason for the populations being down is:

1: The game and support are terrible hence loss of subscriptions.

No need to blame it on the elections, summer or the phases of the moon. The game just sucks its that simple of an answer.

Man some people really really need to use this link..

He was being sarcastic. Sarcastic as in it was just a joke.  It is considered a joke because it would be what a fanboi would try to say to explain why the servers are low.

Its just a joke. He even edited his post with bright bold yellow words to explain it was sarcasm. Read the original thread.

And if that doesn't convince you, click on his history post. He doesnt even say one good thing about AoC...ever...

Woa!..

You guys, ... how can not see the sarcasm? thats a joke!

All games have a high population when they come out because of hype, theres no getting around that, then people will leave cuz not everyone likes the mmorpg.

Now I find this a lame excuse for why the population is low for AoC and truth is, More people play in the summer because they don't have school(this only applies to students and teachers) and others play more in the summer cuz the sun burns goddamnit!

this doesn't go out towards the op but towards the fanboys hes acting like
