Goretzu Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 That is easy to answer. It is because most people are like sheep and would rather be held by the hand and shown how to have fun rather than make their own fun. Also 300,000 subs in 2003 made it the 2nd most successful western MMORPG of all time (at that time). Even today, outside of WoW 300,000, is pretty decent for an MMORPG.

CharleyDanger Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 You still think there's 1.7 million people subbed to this game? lol 1.7 million was the numbers 7 weeks ago. About 4 weeks before that it was 1 million. My stats show an increase, your opinion shows nothing. For ***** and gigs lets say SWTOR lost million subs in 7 weeks (lol) What MMO had 700k subs 3 months in... You and your ball are not welcome here sir.

Esential Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 You still think there's 1.7 million people subbed to this game? lol Lol no ****. 1.7 million subbed? LOL Err umm, I would be INCREDIBLY surprised if there are 100k active players (People who log in more than a few times a week) The game is *********** dying, so quickly.. and thats a fact. What do I attribute that to? Bioware's naive behavior. Why wasn't there a server merge like 3 months ago when the populations started to take a ****? Why didn't they finish the game before releasing it if they really plan to be a 10 yr+ mmo? What is up with the debilitating bugs that are still active and unacknowledged? This game is taking a **** and everyone here who is posting knows this, BW included. 1.7m subbed...That sounds like games sold to me. oh, and... How about that "march" update fellas? LOL, they renamed that badboy pretty quickly hu. *Waits for "Summer" update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incauta Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 190 dead servers That Sir, is the exact opposite of empirical evidence. What you provided was what we call anecdotal. The intelligent way of saying ********. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evel Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Hard to say considering it has been out for just over 3-months. There are a lot of gaps to be filled in the game and if they get them in sooner than later I dont see why not. EQ has lasted 13? years so TOR could easily last that long as well.

RinqualFireburst Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 That Sir, is the exact opposite of empirical evidence. What you provided was what we call anecdotal. The intelligent way of saying ********. BW will never come out and say they have 190 dead servers... but it's true. Unless you play on The fatman, or The harbinger, this game is dead.

Gomuningen Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Did you people not know the new MMO life cycle and patterns? 1. Secure a decent IP 2. Hype the game up as much as possible spare not expenses on the flashy stuff. 3. Hype it up even more and throw out flashy numbers like $200million to develop blah blah blah. 4. Cut costs at every aspect of development, even key areas like the games engine. 5. Ship out the game when not ready just the appease the share holders. Players rage and quite 1-3 months after release. 6. Try to keep the hype alive as much as possible, mean while subs are bleeding hard. 7. Try to keep current player base interest with false hopes on future content. 8. Funding drys up from the parent company. 9. Skeleton crew is assembled while many people get the pink slip. Game goes into maintenance mode while the hard core players keep giving their $15 per month. 10. The share holders pockets get bigger. 11. Rinse and repeat.

Esential Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Why don't you idiots log into a "normal" populated server during "prime time", travel to each planet and count the number of players with your empirical statistics. **** w/ 2m Subbed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RinqualFireburst Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 So says you and your lack of any real evidence or statistics. Making up fake facts won't get you what your looking for. I guess the 185 threads a day created by different people saying their server is dead is all a lie. It would seem so if you played on the handful of servers that everyone who continued playing rolled to. I'm sure the game can survive on 10 servers, no worries.

EQ was innovative, ahead of its time, refreshing, new. Tor is none of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to travel to each planet just to determine how many people are there at the time. (See what happens when you insult people?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
