First of, FunCom aims for 400 000 fixed subscribers ( witch they have of today, just a question of how many sticks ) FunCom`s server park is`t ready for more than 500 000-600 000 players. Even if thats only a cash issue. They are also not planning for that many sold.
But most importantly, The strength of Wow is that it can be played on pretty much anything. A half decent electric razor with a display should even handle it

AoC would require an upgrade for a very many players in terms of computer HW. People like me, who upgrades when their work stuff demands it. Never mind plays on a Mac, we won`t do much more than look twice at it.
When and if it comes on Xbox 360 it could pose a bigger threat. But consoles is`t a natural place for MMOèrs to be

And lastly, if 5 out of 20 in a guild leaves for AoC, those remaining 15 will be a reason for the first 5 to return. Strenght in numbers and WoW got the numbers

I know WoW will die some day, but it won`t be due to AoC, not even getting a deep wound.
AoC just seems like it takes a huge chunck out of the players, due to exams being around now, as well as being new and fresh. The numbers that count vs WoW will be the number of players they have in say 3-6 months
