Jett-Rinn Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) Well Daniel Erickson has said as recently as today that Subs for TOR haven't dropped So I'm going to take a wild guess and say 1.7 million active subscriptions for TOR. So much for the Omgzorz mass exodus!!! I know: "Just you wait till next quarter!" Edited April 24, 2012 by Jett-Rinn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teabaker Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Well, how the hell can the Subscription drop with the 30 Free Days? o0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jett-Rinn Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) Well, how the hell can the Subscription drop with the 30 Free Days? o0 Because the free 30 days doesn't happen until after the financial report, they did it that way specifically for the doom cryers. Nice try. Edited April 24, 2012 by Jett-Rinn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCynic Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Its still not 6 months after Dec/Jan. So all those 6 month subs that were paid for but where the players quit are still counted. The only thing I would be interested in is if there has been ANY growth at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I would be interested in is if there has been ANY growth at all. Do you have any idea the tiny fraction of people who purchased six months subs? They did a seminar about this a couple years back at GDC.......less than .5% Three months subs are the most common with around 5% of MMO players purchasing those. So the six month subbers aren't even enough to count I would wager; the vast majority of subscribers go month to month or sixty day game cards.

So much for the Omgzorz mass exodus!!! I know: "Just you wait till next quarter!" so i wonder if the games subs havent dropped then why do so many people say so many servers are dead then.game could have 10 mil active subs,but they all want to roll on the same servers,so who cares not to mention.lets come back and see what daniel erickson says about the subs when upcoming mmos come out,im sure there gonna be a hell of alot less then 1.7 mil Edited April 24, 2012 by CrunkShizzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jett-Rinn Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 well considering the just vast amount of options people have in terms of mmorpgs.i wouldnt really care what the active subs are until gw2 and tera and other mmorpgs come out I don't think TOR has too much to worry about with GW2 at most GW2 will be the game people play along with whatever they are subscribing to rather than instead of...in fact I'm betting that GW2 doesn't break half a million sales in it's first two months.

Jett-Rinn Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 subs havent dropped cuz obviously the only other option in terms of mmorpgs that arent complete garbage is world of warcraft just wait until upcoming mmos come out.then lets take a look at what daniel erickson has to say on the active subs.my guess is,its going to be a whole hell of alot less then 1.7 anyone who thinks this game has 1.7 mil active subs for any other reason then people tired of world of warcraft and nothing really worth playing in terms of mmorpgs is lieing to themselves You know you just said that TOR is the best game out currently So it's gone from OMGzorz mass exodus!!!!! to folks are staying until the <insert next over hyped MMO here> comes along.

So the six month subbers aren't even enough to count I would wager; the vast majority of subscribers go month to month or sixty day game cards. I think I missed something. Are you saying that the majority of subscribers are 3 monthers and that accounts for 5%? Something isn't adding up for me in your assertion. Oh yeah and seeing how stock is at a low right now under 15 bucks, I think they have some serious splain'n to do to their stockholders. http://investor.ea.com/stockquote.cfm Edited April 24, 2012 by Drakkip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImTasty Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 so i wonder if the games subs havent dropped then why do so many people say so many servers are dead then.game could have 10 mil active subs,but they all want to roll on the same servers,so who cares not to mention.lets come back and see what daniel erickson says about the subs when upcoming mmos come out,im sure there gonna be a hell of alot less then 1.7 mil Because BW added a lot more servers than what they had a launch. If you take 1.7 mil subs and spread it out thinner then yea you are gonna end up having some dead servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrunkShizzle Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 You know you just said that TOR is the best game out currently i guess i dont really care.if i knew what i knew now about sw tor i probably would of just messed around with a free mmo til gw2 or tera came out.this game isnt worth playing if your not a casual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing good or bad about that, it's just the nature of the demographic. If Bioware keep focusing on the causla market and get's it's act together with some of these bugs they should do very well.

oakamp Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Because BW added a lot more servers than what they had a launch. If you take 1.7 mil subs and spread it out thinner then yea you are gonna end up having some dead servers. wrong, u dont get his point, if there were 1.7 PCs, it wont be so many dead servers, and PCs wont reroll on few servers, if swtor is as health as Jan 2012, u wont see so many problems. BTW last day is my sub last day, only 21 ppl on imp fleet, and most of them r my old guild crew, how ironic, where is other PCs? all reroll on fatman?

I'm also the time to say good job when you get it right Yep I agree I'm the same way, yes I have defended TOR..but I have also laid into both Georg Zoller and Daniel Erickson over bugs that need to be addressed. I totally get peoples frustrations...but the issue these forums had (not so much anymore) was that group that spent twelve to sixteen hours a day raging about every little thing and jumping into positive threads just to let everyone know how fail the game was despite the topic. I think TOR has it's niche and yes it is a niche just like TERA and GW2 will have theirs. It all comes out in the wash, very few MMO's actually fail anymore.

ratfanatic Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 It's hard for me to say if subs will be up or down. I feel it could go either way. But I do know there are a good number of people who are unsubscribed only because there is currently no dungeon finder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintan Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I was planning on staying for the free month but I'm cancelling before this billing cycle closes. If they want to give me the free time without charging me they can but my server is dead and this is my 2nd 50 and 2nd server so Eff that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
