This game has sold over one million copes in 2008 and should live on for another 5-7 years if they manage to gain some 20% to 50% extra subscribers.
They have just launched in Russia and Poland and should be very close to a launch in Korea.
Once patch 1.5 is out, they will restart their heavy marketing machinery and open up trial accounts and a win-back program for the 900 thousand previous players.
This all would not suffice if they had not fixed most of what was wrong with the game. With patch 1.5 they will have a great game. Pretty much what they markede a year ago.
In about one month we will see if this goes like you have suggested, or the other way. I enjoy the game so I hope they do well.
