The real indicator of MMO success is how well they retain subs in the next 6 months. If they keep even half of those subs they are a success though... even a quarter of them actually.

So heres hoping they will use that money and expidite these major bugs in the game lol. After all they have made upwards of half a billion dollars in the course of a month lol.
And they are fixing these bugs , thats what these patch days that people are complaining about are for, somethings can't be fixed in 5 minutes or 5 weeks for that matter.

It involves a few things

1) A little patience and understanding because these things sometimes take time to find and fix

2) That we report a bug rather then exploit it to our favor and then complain about getting our hands caught in the cookie jar.

Well see what the numbers look like after 90 days. Like most, I thought this was the greatest thing since sliced bread until I got into my 40's and realized this is just a glorified OSPG (online single player game)

I'm re-downloading lotro right now.

I'll give this game another whirl in a year but its got a lot of ground to cover if they plan on any kind of significant retention.

Which is why you have a beta. You dont need to have patience and understanding when you buy a game only to have end up being a paid beta.

What's even more funny to me is that most of them have no clue how to compose a compelling argument that doesn't depend on l33tspeak.

Don't get me wrong, there are constructive criticisms made on this forum and the game does need improvement -- it's just hard to find them because they are buried under mountains of wowneckbeard rage.

Its not feasible to find every bug possible with the limited amount of people that beta test. Same thing with exploits, when you have 2 million people playing they will obviously find more bugs and ways to cheat the system then the 1000 or so closed beta testors ever could.

Logical fallacy much?
You're right, those are just features that should have been released in this alpha-state game which will ultimately lead to its downfall. Oh, and the fact that this terrible game uses the awful Hero Engine. It was doomed from the get-go.

So far they seem to be moving in the right direction with the frequent patches.

Here's to hoping we have a WoW alternative that isn't dumbed down, spoon-fed, and made for 12 year old ADD Modern Warfare gamers.

How are they guessing? They can count the number of people who have put codes in.
