Age of Conan boasts 700,000 subscribers, continues retail conquest

Age of Conan developer Funcom is still hyping its already-mega-hyped MMO. AoC has consistently topped PC sales charts in most Western markets for weeks now (it even beat Mass Effect in North America in the week that the latter hit the shelves), and Funcom is not afraid to boast of that achievement.

Its latest press release claims that 700,000 users have registered for an AoC account. That makes it the most likely contender for the #2 spot behind World of Warcraft. The only subscription-based MMO that presumably comes close in Western markets is The Lord of the Rings Online, but no clear subscription numbers have been released for that title.
