With a different engine (Dreamworld/UE4), different team (Durham/Oslo), different resources and different mechanics? Are you trolling for the sake of trolling?
Official numbers is out and the game has sold more than 320 000 so far, basically break even in one week. If this pace keeps up they will probably sell close to 1 million before the xbox version comes out, which is when the sales really picks up with these type of games..

Could you now funcom, FINALLY put some MONEY & EFFORT into Age of Conan,to get some NEW proper servers,NEW hardware, & add some NEW content? There's no past excuses now such as ''We really can't afford the cost of new better servers and hardware upgrade''.
Ofc they're not gonna use a single cent for aoc.. $6m earned>summer vacations in eternity now>exiles will stay early access for the next decade *sic*>age of conan will stay at it's current state with ONLY addition=new pets such as dragons,salamanders,goats,and halloween costumes. /job done
They are maintaining that... by adding content that is easy to get into for new players, and ignoring the wants and wishes from loyal veterans who payed them lots and lots of money over the years.
Adding cheap development updates with lots of grind that keeps it relevant over long period of time, with OP rewards to keep the motivation up. = low development cost -> positive cash flow. They have no intention of further develop this game out of passion or hope, its just in cashcow mode since a long time. Dont have any hope! and u wont get disapointed :D
