Big-name MMO? Sizeable player base? Stock value dip of 55 percent? One of these things is not like the other. According to Massively, Age of Conan publisher Funcom has seen a mystifying downturn in its stock value since Age of Conan launched.
Dropping from $54 to $24 per share, you’d think Funcom would have serious cause for concern. However, as Massively points out, Funcom shares were sporting a consistent $25 price tag before the Age of Conan pre-release hype began. Odds are, this sharp drop is merely a return to normalcy.

Can anyone hear the sound of tumbleweed blowing through Conan at the mo? No? Wash out your lugholes then.
Hopefully Funcom will actually realise that reneging on a promise to make sure Conan gets “Regular and scheduled bountiful updates” isn’t quite the same as taking a shitload of that initial game cost and sign-up cash and going off on an extended holiday to acapulco while your userbase pisses away to nothing. Future MMO whorebag devs take note.

Is it really fucked? It’s been getting some less than stellar press in the last few weeks…
