How is it proof? The game is a few months old and it is the first
comic book themed MMORPG. The game also WORKED at launch (which is
still an accomplishment for MMORPGs). It was enormously hyped with
tremendous advertising (both paid and free).

If you want to judge whether or not its core game design is
successful, you need to wait a few years.

Brad McQuaid wrote a day or so ago that EQ has 60% retention. That
is hardly a fragment. Threshold has TONS of players that first
created 8 years ago.
