Once word gets out I don't see why there wouldn't be 3M to 4M subs by Christmas.
Can we please just have our pre-KotFE SWTOR MMORPG back?

Thanks for posting the numbers. If we go with 2M sales so far in the first month that makes it a very successful PC game by any standard, of course time will tell if the subscriptions will stay, but even at 50% retention that makes 1M subscribers which is excellent. Of course no one knows how high the targets were at EA, but hopefully they find numbers so far positive.
The generation of random numbers is too important to be left up to chance.

The only hard number out there is the NPD number for Dec and that does not include digital.

Blizzard used to say only 10% of wow players ever made it past level 10. I'm sure more than 10% of swtor made it past level 10, therefore = success!!!!
