I suspect that it is going to be cashed out by TSE within the near future anyway. This sort of thing frustrates me alot when it comes to TSE, its a very inefficient system for the player who can no longer devote any time to it.
The fact that this game is pushing 200dkp is quite frankly beyond ridiculous. To the person buying it up, where the hell do you think it has sold another 750k copies from?
@PhilHarrision, Some things I found : In the original article, which is linked in the kotaku article you mentioned, there are things in the comment section that are very interesting, like : - Nelson Williams (article author) said "I don’t play Age of Conan. Never have.". "This article is based on the game that was launched." The fact that the author of the article didn't play the game raise a red flag (warning) for me. Couple that with the fact that he admit that it is based on launch game, not current game, made this article even more "risky", IMO. - Comment by Ungkor : 300,000 left, 400,000 remain. Perhaps you should have looked at a few of the positive posts by the 400,000 remaining before you decided that “It was never alive.”
Please note that my post doesn't reflect my opinion on this stock. As I said earlier, I don't have plan to invest in this stock, since I have difficulty in predicting MMORPG games, which made this stock too risky for me. Since I don't have plan to invest in this stock, I am not going to say whether this stock is overpriced or underpriced.
I am just pointing issues with using the article as "smoking gun" that this game is dead, and have zero potential for subscriber increase in the future.
Why is this game at 1.5 million sold? There are good arguments for it being sub 1 million isn't there. Here is an article this evening on Kotaku re-iterates 700,000 subscribers and calls the game 'dead' now.....so why do TSE users believe this game will double its user base moving forward?
Your focus is similar to how many of the previous high ranked members chose to invest, it is a little high risk for me. I would love to have that much free DKP to invest, but mine is too invested to withdraw easily. I also see no reason to pressure a GLS in either direction without known official sales data, if it continues to go in the direction you disagree with, let it. You will eventually be proven right if your viewpoint is correct anyway.
I have pulled out of my remaining long stocks to a large extent to enable me to have enough short margin to keep downward pressure on LBP amongst others and still have a short margin above 10million. Hopefully once the stocks shift in the coming months as they are released ill be able to gain massive profit, although im sure i will be wrong on at least one, lets hope that isnt the one im 5million short on. :)
I just noticed that you practically have no long :). Unlike you, I have several long stocks, and 27 Million short. I only have 2 Million short margin, so I am keeping my eyes on it very, very carefully. Your 13 Million short margin makes you richer than me in that specific area.

People eventually cashing out and moving the price is one of the reasons we developed the delisting system.
Do you have recent sales numbers for this title?
