The online gaming industry and internet use has grown exponentially over those years and thus more people are exposed, allowing for a larger potential customer base.

I was really expecting more given the hype that was generated but I just don't see it in general or the details. I'm happy that they shipped so many orders but how many will stay with the game and for how long? I'm happy that I get 30 days free cause I'm gonna need them to determine if the game gets better as I continue to level up. I was incredibly happy when I got to play WoW and LOTRO when they launched but the same isn't true for AoC...oh well. I'm guessing that it'll take them at least 3-6 months for a patch to address balance and bug issues if they're like other MMOs. I would prefer if they have the sheer number of fixes like WoW versus LOTRO's mediocre few patches for each class over a year...what a drag! I’m bored with it from the start.

Not boxes sent to retailers that may or may not be bought. Units distributed to retailers prior to day 1are not part of this number, obviously. “Funcom is shipping around 700.000 copies of Age of Conan on day one”

That's not 700,000 shipped pre-orders, that's 700,000 shipped units, total. For all we know, retailers everywhere could have piles of boxes not selling and AoC only really has 200,000 sales (which is still quite good). Anyone know of any sales figures?
