[edit] Corrections

The article had made statements that implied that the release of the Age of Shadows expansion was followed by a sharp decline in the number of people playing the game. This is not evident in any of the publicly available data for the time.

using http://mmogdata.voig.com/ as a source you can see in the 50k-150k subscriber chart that UO didn't see any significant change in the player base until the period from January 04 - June 04 long after the expansion was released in late February of 03. In fact the chart shows a small increase in the number of subscribers from December 02 - March 03.

Huh? http://www.mmogchart.com/ shows quite the opposite - a steady decline in subscriber numbers starting at about the time AoS was released. My ingame experience matches that as well. ~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.16.164.253 (talk) 08:55, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Documented or not, there was indeed a decline in users after this release. It was the "nail in the coffin", so to speak. Anyone who played the game can attest to that. --83.254.253.210 (talk) 22:37, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
