Despite the great initial success of the Age of Conan MMO by Norwegian developer Funcom, it seems investors are concerned that the game will not be able to keep the players interested for a prolonged period of time. Funcom's shares on the Oslo Stock Exchange have fallen from a high of USD 54 on launch day, May 20, to USD 24 , reports Massive. Hopefully the game will be able to compete with the WoW juggernaut and its coming expansion. Remember, Age of Conan is coming to Xbox360 at least, as well.
