Good day, this is the Informer.
Good news! FunCom is not going bankrupt in anytime in the near future!
Q1 2009 numbers are in, and the revenues seem solid, and FC is able to function w/o the need of outside capital. Community seems loyal enough to keep playing and paying. Also the new "trial" marketing has bought in quite a few new players, so playerbase in all seems to develop in a very positive direction.
They have about 120 people in the development team of AoC, and they seem to be doing good progress with their next MMO called "The Secret World" with another 120 or so developers...
or is it just 120 developers all together working in different projects? That seems more plausible!
Notably there have also listed the "next development points" for AoC, that include patch 1.05 and a revamp of guild&social systems and even House of Crom gets a mention, so they must be getting closer to release.

Q2 will say more,
ReplyDeleteWe will then see how many player (trial, old subscriber, new subscriber etc) kept playing after this big "marketing blitzkrieg"
