RikHar Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I don't know the amount of players in this game but what percentage of current players do you think pre-ordered the upcoming expansion? I imagine their sales will go up after it comes out but as far as the pre-orders, do you think its a high number so far? I believe it's about 50%.

Evensong Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Most of current subscribers. I pre-ordered Those who want to have 5 days advantage... I would say 50-60% Edited January 9, 2013 by Evensong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeSaberRattler Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I would imagine the subscriber number is higher something like 60%-70% while the f2p group is much lower around 15%-25% they will wait and see what the reviews say most likely.

BobaScott Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I guess I am in the minority. I wanted to let everyone else beta test it first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts as well. In my own opinion, at least based on the feelings of fellow guildies; RotHC is going to be a make or break for alot of us. I am hoping it does wow us enough that we enjoy it enough to see a future in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very much doubt any f2pers would pay $20 alone for the expansion rather than $25 for 1 month sub + expansion (and 500cc comes with 1 month sub).

Roalmo Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Like to believe that my fellow humans are somewhat intelligent, except for the 10% who are totally ignorant. So I guess 10% bought the pig-in-a-poke. The rest are intelligently waiting for those "more details to come" before committing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuixupu Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Some people just know themselves well enough to know that they'll want to keep playing the game anyway and would kick themselves later if their friends are in early without them.

So I guess 10% bought the pig-in-a-poke. The rest are intelligently waiting for those "more details to come" before committing. So, we who already pre-ordered are stupid? Okay, get this. Here's how I reasoned it out. It's a digital expansion that will include at the very least a new world, 5 more levels, some new FPs/OPs and a new PvP warzone. Because there is a new planet that means there will also likely be a set of new Heroics. Because there are new Heroics, FPs/Ops there will also likely be new gear. New Gear, New Heroics, New FPs/OPs, New Warzone and 5 additional levels worth of content. IMO, all of that is well worth the $9.99 price tag. If there are any other goodies that will be icing on the cake. Now who are the intelligent ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although... we are not entirely ignorant. We went ahead and purchased it because we know we are going to play it. The opportunity cost (less than the cost of a movie) is well worth it. That being said, most of my guildies never frequent the forums and thus ignorance is bliss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorta my thoughts on the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taorus Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I firmly state that, More then people think Pre-ordered it , Less then people believe Pre-ordered it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The opportunity cost (less than the cost of a movie) is well worth it. ... sorry, I'm ignorant sometimes too, but "opportunity cost"? don't understand that. Does that refer to the opportunity to get early access? or what? If I wait all I lose is the five days early access(or 5 days to finish the content early, depends on POV).

SoSickMinded Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I pre-ordered.. and I don't even have a lvl 50 toon, yet... I think about 70% of subscribers pre-ordered... my question is.. when does it come out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm... opportunity cost, an economics term. In this case, what other opportunities would you give up to spend the 10 dollars and purchase it now ie: you could go to the movies... get a burger... put gas in your car... etc. It really has nothing to do with the preview aspect at all. For you it would seem the cost is too high; you would rather go to the movies, get a burger etc. etc. For many of us, the missed opportunity is of little or no consequence because we will be playing the pack regardless.

LukeSaberRattler Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) If I wait all I lose is the five days early access(or 5 days to finish the content early, depends on POV). I pre-ordered simply because I enjoy SWTOR very much so I know I will be playing RotHC no question. Also I am extremely slow and take my time enjoying the game. I have been playing since early access, and as you can see from my sig I still only have one level 50 character. So getting early access to this means more time for me to hit 55 compared to others and I just can't wait for any new content for this game. Others may have differing opinions but that is mine.

Aaoogaa Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I guess I am in the minority. I wanted to let everyone else beta test it first. Not spending a cent until they release the detail of what they are putting out...cancelled my sub as well because of the lack of communication.

I did not pre order so that would put me in the 30-% minority. Ta-daa! Edited January 9, 2013 by BobaScott Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biRdyxLoCo Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Been here since day 1 early access and I didn't pre-order as I see no reason to, its not like they are going to run out of copies or something. When it finally dose release I will most likely buy it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
