2-3 million is my prediction I feel this game will succeed where many have failed.

It's just the new girl on the block and WoW to me has become all used up.

You could make the argument that there isn't much "real" competition now either

Seriously, I think it depends on the quality and frequency of patches and content updates but if they keep up the pace they've started with I could easily see them over 2 million in 6 months.

There wont be many. . .Ill expalin.

Twice I tried to post about how I was quitting MMO's altogether and VERY good reasons why I was qutting, mainly pertaining to this game. I never made any assumptions or criticisms about how this game would turn out or how good or bad it was. Nor did I ever mention my opinion about "other" MMO's. I was completely civil, honest, and non-offensive. But they deleted my threads anyway. I brought up alot points that (again civily and non-offensive) many agree with.

This shows me Bioware knows the end is comming alot faster than expected. I dont care if I am wrong or right (but I do think I'm right) but I see an arrogant company that will make reflective decisions like blizzard. . .except 10 times worse.

I promised not to say anything negative about this game, but after deleting my posts for no reason at all except for there BS reasons, here goes. . .

If this game opened up with no bugs of any kind and actually ran just as fluid as another good MMO, its still a bad MMO. People are fools to think this game is good, still in denial, or dont have the experience of playing a good MMO.

And what a coincidence, I just saw a new thread about Bioware deleting threads in less than 60 seconds.

I'll still be playing in six months. If all the trolls and fanboys are gone by then, all the better. They didn't have to go big with this game, but they did.

As an increased amount of people hit lvl 50, more and more people will leave. End-game content is non-existent, and PvP (the thing that keeps people entertained while they wait for raid content) is crap. As more and more people discover and post about the combat system failure, crafting system failure, PvE failure, and PvP failure, less and less people will be inclined to purchase this game.

So you will have people leaving, and no one joining. My server was full for the first 2 weeks (15 minute queue wait), and now it is only "heavy" even during prime hours. This game is losing subscribers even during free months. It's going to be another FF14, where free month are extended over and over again to get people to keep playing.

So, you're telling me what people with too much free time and a bad attitude posting drivel on the forums is what causes most MMOs to fail? And that they will be leaving soon? Sounds good to me.

Mine will still be here!
My prediction will be that the subscription count will increase.

Yes, we still have our regular trolls and haters here on the forum, but who cares?
Their infinite words of wisdom will still be here in 6 months, and if not, yay!
