I don't know but my server feels lonely. It sure seems like people have gone away. Maybe just not playing as much and still have subs like me.

Wait a minute, why am I paying a sub to play a few WZ a week?

You enjoy paying for a few WZs or you just like giving away money. You know you could always donate to Child's Play and cut out ur sub to this game unless you got a multi-month
Relabeling future patches as Expansions, just like EA Louse said a year ago. Who got the last laugh?

I don't believe that's true, EA bought BIOWARE in 2007 right before ME was released. However; ME2 was pretty much developed at that time but ME3 wasn't. ME3 started its development a little before ME2 release and that game was released in 2010.

Everyone can sense this game is on its way to being dead.

Combine a falling number of scripts with the long development time for new content given all the voice acting and even the fanboys know that this game is never going to grow much.

Such a huge failure relative to the ammount of time and money spent on it. It will be a case study in the industry for a long time.

When 2013 hits I predict 12 million.

No joke i did some math calculations and that is what i got.
Then your math is flawed.

I predict 400k at best as far as NA/EU.

I dont foresee catastrophic losses as some haters are trying to imply. No doubt they'll be some losses as there is with all new release games not everyone trying it out is going to stay, nothing more than 400/500k losses i'd say which would still maintain over a million subcriptions.

But if bioware continue ignoring the player base on important things such as realm populations they'll most likely see alot more than just my prediction, it wouldn't hurt to add more things to do at the max level aswell, right now i can barely be bothered to log on.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results.

Hi, im a relatively new player, i have a 50 sorc and im currently leveling a vanguard...

but the problem is as soon as i hit 50 i gave up on him nearly straight away, the end game content is just a pure grindfest, flashpoints are not fun to play through as its just a standard fight lots of mobs tank and spank scenario, very repeatative.

PvP (which is what my primary interest is though pve is also fun) is dull and games are not enjoyable (in comparison to other pvp games, battlefield, league of legends, anything else) there is just no real satisfaction (for me) when killing someone or pvping/winning.

I will be deactivating my subscription when my first month is complete. Its just the same formula as WoW, but without the polish (pve and pvp wise).

however the story/questing is enjoyable! so atleast they got that right.

counter arguement could be that all mmos are grindy at end game, but it doesnt mean it cant be made enjoyable. ive played 400+ games on league of legends ont he same map and i still find it entertaining, so theres something lacking here...

I dont think the game will grow much more, if at all. I can see it stabilising at 1.5-2 million subs depending on what happens in the next 2 months or so.

The game most definitely had the potential to break 5 million when it launched, but first impressions last and they have not done themselves many favours in the first 2 months. Hopefully they can turn it around, but thats less likely with the current generation of MMO players than it was 10, even 5 years ago.
