Funcom N.V (NO) Funcom would like to provide a short update of the status of the launch of the Age of Conan game.
Status of the launch The Age of Conan game now has over 400.000 active players (players who have registered their purchased game key in the Company's registration and billing system). The Company underlines that there is uncertainty regarding the future development of this number. Amongst many factors, it will depend on the continued early sales success, on reviews from major gaming press in the most important markets as well as the long term appeal of the game play that determines the longevity of the average subscription.
Funcom will not report subscriber numbers on a regular basis, for marketing reasons, but will provide additional financial guidance before the Second Quarter 2008 reporting.
