Just so that everyone knows, the impressive subscription stats on Age of Conan are indicative of an impressive launch BOX sale, not actual subscriptions. In order do use your free 30 days with the Age of Conan box you must start a recurring subscription plan, even if you cancel it within the first 30 days and are never billed.
So every single box that they sold counts as a subscriber, whether or not that person ever subscribes. I personally thought that AoC was crap and canceled my sub and sold my account on Craigslist on launch week, and I doubt I am alone in terms of bought-but-never-subscribed.
The AoC numbers remind me of a certain quote... "There are lies, damn lies, and statistics". CCP and Blizzard count money in the bank, AoC tries to manipulate the facts so their abysmal game does not appear to be flopping so hard.
I'll admit i'm canceled on AoC but may give them 1 more month. However there's lots of complaining about stuff and it is EPIC to see people complain about unplayable lag in 10v10 fights. The first siege ever happened earlier, and was capped at 96 people and was completely unplayable for both sides.
Keep that in mind while slowly slide-show-shooting each other in a 300+ man fight in EVE, or having a half second delay in a 40-50 person fight (like good FW fights).

I dunno probably the community in WoW is a little better than in EVE because in EVE everyone is all elitist and serious and always correcting spelling and alot of times forget its a game and just have fun and bull**** u know what i mean
It's true. WoW's most famous player is Leeroy Jenkins, a court jester who staged something mildy funny.
EVE's most famous player is Istvaan, whose group pulled of a hit that was so epic it made headlines, and his group forced unsure players to realize EVE really is a badass sandbox game.

EVE is the only MMO where the average player has something like 2.5 accounts. ;-)
Perhaps you should go read the account stats posted in one of the CSM (i think) blog.
