Abschlie\u00dfend wird eine X-Fire Statistik pr\u00e4sentiert, aus der hervorgeht, dass die Aktivit\u00e4t an Spielern im letzten Monat von 75.000 auf 25.000 gesunken ist.<\/p>\n<p>Interessant ist auch folgender Auszug:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>* Funcom is already working on a new MMO using the AoC engine<br \/>\n* Funcom released inflated subscription and sales numbers to the press<br \/>\n* Funcom is allowing billing to continue past account cancellation<br \/>\n* Funcom squelches any dissent in its official forums<\/p>\n<p>The strategy at this point is clear: Funcom is finally starting to realize they completely dropped the ball on this game, and they are cutting their losses.
