When it comes to Bioware/EA spending on this game:

1) Voice acting
2) Marketing
3) Writing
4) Game design

If you listened to customers you would of added the basic features every beta member asked for, instead like with forum answers we were ignored. Out of those millions i wounder how many are actually still playing cause i made my alt and there was like 5 people on each planet from the 50 people per planet at beginning. Why i did an alt was cause it was taking an hour to find groups for fp at 50 on a suppose it heavy server. its star wars of course its big but the name can only do so much, which in the drop in members the name isn't working to well.

Sure.. once they see the flaws ,and the shear amount of bugs that have been in since beta-- they'll unsub , Buddy.

Screenshots taken from this past Sunday show the server population is very healthy.

The BioWare guy that says how it's exciting to see servers all "Full" forgot to mention that now, even at prime time, they mostly say Light or Standard. The biggest let down for me was the utter lack of players in the game...it felt empty even playing on "Heavy" population servers. It's a single player game, with a few group side-quests...but it's a pain when there's no one on the planet to group with or to make the game feel alive.

Fastest growth of all time and fastest to decline in subs of all time?

I wonder what kind of feedback they would get if they interviewed the current player base, not at launch.After people got a taste of what is waiting for them at level 50....

I smell propaganda and moral boost for the current player base.

I have my fingers crossed for GW2...I hope they are using a good engine. No more mindless grinding please....

Again, Screenshots taken this past Sunday say you are falsifying information.

Until I start seeing button macros implemented in this game and 3rd party addons allowed. you are NOT responding to what the playerbase wants.

That video was one big, cruel lie.

You're also not telling the whole truth, yes the game sold two million copies at launch, but only 1.7 million remain.

Declining numbers is not something to be happy about, BW =/

Overall I liked the video and I understand why Bioware would put out a video like this.

The one thing that left a sour taste was the 'seeing the full servers light up then be full' comment, like that's the norm. It really is not the reality today and though it was like that for the first week that is not the reality today.

Otherwise nice job guys you all should be proud, just be careful with the expectations your are setting with potential new gamers.
