Impressive to say the least.
Going to be interesting to see how it is after 20/1.

And regarding people saying about empty zones.
On my server (Hydian Way) we have around 170 ppl in Imperial Fleet during prime time (19-22 CET), beginner planets are around 60-70.
Voss, Belsavis and Ilum are mostly around 30-40 and Nar Shadaa, Tatooine etc are around 80ish.
So atleast on my server we have people everywhere and the masses seem to be around lvl 25-30 now.
Peace is a lie, there is only passion.Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.

While other mmos didn't necessarily sell 2mil copies in their first month, most of them sold 1-1.5mil copies. So close enough.
More like 500-700k copies, but close enough

lol? You know you've won when the opponent resorts to blatant lying. I'd suggest you do your homework. Pretty much every big name MMO nets around 1-1.5m sales in the first month. This is cold, hard, undeniable fact. Most MMOs will sit around 500-700k SUBS, same as TOR will be in a few months.

that means you cant even construct a proper hyperbole, how can you be taken seriously?
Exagerration and Hyperbole OMG! Its meant to be a joke.

Does not detract from the point, all judgments on this game are meaningless until we see retention. Judging by your other posts, understanding of a joke, and your poor English I wouldn't expect you to understand economics either.

Haters gonna hate.

If you do not like the game, feel free to not waste our time with your opinions. We don't care about what you think, and you are not special ...

So what retention % are all you negative nellies expecting?
Keeping in mind that 1% = 20,000 subs the way some here have been talking SWTOR is going to lose more then 95% of their subs in the first month.....

I figure it'll do a little better then most other MMOs given fanboys. So I'd say TOR will hover around 600-800k subs after six months. Which, according to the people in charge, would be more then enough to generate a profit, so meh.
