Why are 90% of the servers showing "light" at peak times during the day? Hmm, I dunno you tell me. Even divided amongst 40 servers would be roughly 35k per server. I'm not seeing that on any server, let alone all of them.
Anyhow, I did a little digging and this is what I've come up with.
BoA/Merril Lynch obviously referencing the 1.7million as being a product of Q3 since he's asking what kind of conversion people can expect out of it when the time comes.
EA/Bioware states that a majority of this 1.7 is paying, but says nothing about when that 1.7 sample is accurate. BoA/Merrill Lynch were trying to fish a more accurate and current number out of EA and they declined.
26:54 BoA/Merril Lynch- "...How many of these 1.7million active subs could we expect to convert to paying subs after the initial free month." <-- asked 2 days ago by Merril LYnch.
Response by EA/Bioware..... "We are not going to talk to deeply on conversion just because it is so early in the life of the product."
So in essence, if there were 1.7 Million Subscribers, why are we playing Huttball in 90% of Warzones? Also, why are Republics "not" playing as much Huttball as Imperials? I think the answer is pretty clear. However, we'll just have to wait until the next quarter to get the hard facts.
