Funcom has announced that their recently launched MMORPG Age of Conan has reached the #1 spot on the PC charts. They go on to say that the game has sold out in several retailers nationwide, due to the games booming success, and that over 8 million unique visitors from around the world have visited the official website.

Age of Conan developers are hard at work evolving the game to make for the recent influx of new subscribers, but to what extent will the game grow? Is it possible that this gore-laden MMO could topple Blizzard’s World of Warcraft? If things continue to go as planned it is quite possible that Age of Conan will be a competing factor to the MMO mammoth.
