Age of Conan strikes gold
Funcom, the company behind Age of Conan, has announced the game has risen to No. 1 on the PC charts and is also competing well on the all-format lists.
One week after launch, the game already has more than a half a million subscribers and the game has been difficult at best to find in the stores. Funcom said it is working to resupply new copies of the game as soon as possible.
In the seven countries for which Funcom has figures, the game is selling like mad. In Germany, Age of Conan is No. 1 on all-format and PC, while the console-orientated UK market has Conan as No. 2 on the all-format charts, being held from No. 1 by Grand Theft Auto 4. In Sweden and Norway, Age of Conan is sitting squarely at No. 1 on both PC and all-formats, while contributing to making it the biggest week for PC games in 2008. In Spain and Italy, Age of Conan reigns the PC charts, while the Australians sent the game to No. 1 on PC and No. 2 on all-formats.
The company announced it knew AoC had a chance of conquering PC charts, however it claims the all-format charting was a pleasant surprise.
More than 8 million unique visitors (one million less than the World of Warcraft gamerbase) from over 200 countries have visited the Age of Conan websites so far this year. If you’re curious, hop on over to the AoC Web site, www.ageofConan.com.
