Pyrolight Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 They sold 2 million according to their own press release. How do they have more subs than games sold? Stop lying, thanks. Jett-Rinn is a troll on the fanboi side. His opinions are worth no more then the haters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mannic Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 300k concurrent not total. Total subs right now are between 2.5 -3.2 million I suspect Bioware to make the announcement right after the 20th so people can't say "They are all still in their free month!!!" TOR is a huge success like it or not. More made up stats with absolutely no backing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've sold more games since that figure was announced. This game is growing. Fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mannic Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) They sold 2 million according to their own press release. How do they have more subs than games sold? Stop lying, thanks. I haven't seen this press release. Can you link to it please? This is the most recent press release from Bioware regarding TOR: http://investor.ea.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=635258 Now I do think we would have seen a press release if the game had, in fact, hit 2 million units. But the last official number we've heard from Bioware or EA is "over 1 million." The only site that says 2 million is VGChartz, which is a third party that attempts to extrapolate game sales based on polling. They do not know the real numbers.

Blackwater Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 SWTOR went from 700k average concurrent users to under 400k. You're proud of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inraika Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 GUYS NO SWTOR WILL FAIL BECAUSE x EFFECTS y. IT WILL NEVER BE FIXED AND THE GAME HAS ALREADY BEEN OUT FOR LIKE, 2 WHOLE YEARS NOW!!>!! okay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoggyMack Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 We can probably continue this discussion of press releases on January 31 when they release new numbers and a new release Mannic. I'll pencil you in for a new thread or two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inraika Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 They sold 2 million according to their own press release. How do they have more subs than games sold? Stop lying, thanks. Hahahaha WoW says they have 10 mil subscribers or whatever... over half of them aren't even paying monthly subscriptions. So yes, this game could very well have that many subs, doesnt mean they sold all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoggyMack Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 uh ... press releases are announcements, so they usually don't get announced that there will be an announcement beforehand? That's confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mannic Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 uh ... press releases are announcements, so they usually don't get announced that there will be an announcement beforehand? That's confusing. So where did you pull the January 31st date from? If Bioware had hit 2 million units, why wouldn't they just announce it, like they announced it the second they hit 1 million? Maybe they prefer to let people believe the unofficial numbers from a site like VGChartz because the real numbers aren't quite as good? Nah, couldn't be anything like that. Bioware is just waiting for the game to hit 10 million units, then they'll say something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkCarnivale Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 This is funny. "Aint that right y'all? Hellooo?" Look, I've played WoW and it was fun, yet, this is Star Wars. During my waiting period for new comp specks I've checked out the history of MMos, mmodata sites about subscription numbers for most MMOs and checked out various Youtube videos for upcoming games, and yeah some of them look nice, yet I like this game right now, and maybe I'll play the other games in the future, yet this is a fun game, so I'll enjoy it. So yeah, congratulations Bioware, well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jswizzle Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 WOW is too easy. Addons and everything have butchered the game. People are coming to TOR from WOW in massive numbers. If you don't believe that go over to the WOW boards. Every complaint about WOW, is an area where TOR shines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoggyMack Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 So where did you pull the January 31st date from? You misunderstand. I want to revisit this topic with you on that date. See if there's a new release. With new numbers. Hence why I want to pencil you in. Your stance on the game hasn't changed since December. So right now it's just a waiting game right?

Tortall Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 a few things re wow and skyrim . its funny that blizzard are promoting that their new class, the monk, will not have an auto-attack. thats sounds familiar.. Also someone mentioned earlier that skyrim was a console game, and numerous people disagreed. I'm a PC gamer and love the elder scrolls, but i thought it was well understood that the game was optimized for consoles? A PC can output 10x better graphics, so if you're making a cross-console game, it makes sense to optimise it for the weakest link (xbox360/ps3). We see this again and again. Skyrim shipped with extremely limited graphics options, and you had to edit files manually for some of those, also no keybinding options, and the spell and skill menu were clearly meant for a gamepad, not a keyboard.

defiantlegacy Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Considering that many of those " subbed " right now are still on their free 30 days and that we like to try new games, i don't think we can go making comparisons just yet.

MBirdy Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Well said Well said? REALLY. WoW had delay problems in PvP on release, many people lagged out when attacking the opposite faction. "older software" has nothing to do with this. honestly... the lack of knowledge of anything on the subject is embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBirdy Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Yet the lion share of revenue comes from NA and EU. Because a flat out subscription costs more... and the currency is stronger... who would of thunk it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
