Taken from here; https://community.heroengine.com/forums/index.php?topic=741.0 So, not Bioware's fault the game doesn't support dx11, but it is their choice of engine that is the culprit after all.

So, games that started development prior to Bioware are allowed to have dx11. Games that started development after Bioware are allowed to have dx11. But games that start right when Bioware started SWTOR are not allowed to have dx11. Got it. Thanks for clearing that up for me, just unluck on Biowares part then. No fault lies in the company or the hero engine.

What is incorrect? The pop being 1.7 million or the game is shrinking or both?

Fans should be happy with 1.7 million, it's more than most expected. It's very profitable at that number too, if they can hold that they will have the second largest MMO in NA and Europe.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_World The secret world, started development in 2002. Was put off for a time and resumed in 2006. So, Funcom > Bioware with less money?

Late to the party you are. CEO said nearly 1.7 million today in New York.

And you ended with an eyeroll, classic. lmao

Read the link. He said the comments today in New York. Here are more details. Posted today March 8th http://venturebeat.com/2012/03/08/electronic-arts-reveals-new-mass-effect-3-and-star-wars-mmo-numbers/

Calm down already. A person is allowed to tell you what he thinks is going on without pulling sources. You really should just go play the game, these forums are giving you high blood pressure or something.

I think this is the original source of the current 1.7 million sub figure http://venturebeat.com/2012/03/08/electronic-arts-reveals-new-mass-effect-3-and-star-wars-mmo-numbers/ Wish I had the exact quote. Could he STILL be using figures from that first month?

Very interesting. Must say, I am quite surprised. My 800k guess was way off.

That actually looks legit. It's more than double of what I would of guessed. So where the hell are all the players and why does the game feel dead?

The hero engine was the first mistake this game made.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_with_DirectX_11_support ALOT of those games release prior to SWTOR.

Sad thing is there is no competition out there. If you leave here you either run around gameless or crawl back to WoW. Wait till GW2/TSW/Tera come out. (Not that any of them may fare better long term, but new mmo's tend to suck the life out of each other while WoW just sits back with her arms spread wide and a smile on her face waiting for your inevitable return)
