Really? MMOs are basically the posterchild for making high quality character models... no other genre focuses that much on that single aspect.

Will AO make it to its 14th birthday???? I for one seriously doubt it
AO to not make it? It has cashflow highly above expense of running servers. Even if game is not developed its good enough that peope play and pay it.
According to Funcoms Q2 presented on August 27th 2014, all their large scale MMOs Age of conan, Secret World, and Anarchy online are all cash flow positive.
According to Funcom Age of conan was going to be Wow killer, and secret world was going to increase revenues to the company. The new engine for AO also should be ready in late 2008.
Its good to see some are optimistic, but it is also important to be realistic
What does cash flow positive mean in this context?
It means that FC gets more money out of their products then they currently put into them.
So, of course AO cash flow positive - no meaningful investment in the game since LoX and only a skeleton crew to support it.
Cash flow positive does NOT mean net profit.
FunCom hasn't had a net profit in 7 years.
In fact, over the last 10 years, they had 1.8M profit vs. 131M in losses.
