NOW = 1.7 Million Active Subscribers | 3 Months from now = Guess What

So what you're saying is, Soon to be released SWTOR for game boy where up to 4? players can sync play consecutively? Really that's more than adequate for a leveling experience.

Quote mark things arent working :/

Anyways, SWTOR has a great leveling experience that requires TIME for many casual gamers, I have a level 42 Sorc and a decent amount of skill and I dont expect to finish the class quest until mid march, then I have 7 other storys that I would like to at least finish the first act with, thats at least another 3-6 months of game play. Now I don't expect everyone to be like me, but i beleive that more people are casual gamers and thus will spend more time leveling than raiding or end-game PvPing. This gives Bioware time to clean these (endgame pvping, raiding, and crafting) up before a large chunk (the casual chunk) hits the endgame

they could have focused on their strengths and included a bunch of interesting questlines involving operations, quests which unlock after completing of a raid or after collecting certain things.

when it comes to pvp, they need to make a system where playing the same map over and over again is engaging, fun and rewarding. instead of tokens, why not have a level system like in other multiplayer games? players having the choice of which WZ to go into. or death match ffa style maps with pickups everywhere?

also those health pick ups should be changed to health regen over time.

I'd say 2.5 mil by the end of the year... Although we will ALL unsub on the 21st of December.

did u not purchase the afterlifetime subscription?

My hope is that the game will continue to have a robust subscriber base for many years. Even a million subscribers would be remarkable... there's just one obese guy in the MMO room that makes everyone else seem skinny...

Doubtful.

I would suggest that those of you who see all these BIG numbers for BW success, read the forum "When will there be a "SERVER MERGE?" " where people not affected by fanboyism express real problems with real numbers and real examples from real servers, which proves that the amount of subscriptions is greatly diminishing, the few well populated servers are getting bigger, only because people from low populated servers are re-rolling.

Many are canceling their subscription, disappointing that they have wasted 2 months gearing/lvling and now are forced to re-roll.

Well someone provided some REAL information which shows around 200k players on at any one time but when you spread it out and throw in faction imbalance you get some low numbers.

Also take into consideration that only 10-20% are playing at anyone time means that the subs were alot more then 200k.


Rather then quitting and whining about dead servers we need to rally together and and demand that servers are merged back to launch day levels

I agree. We need a modest server merge badly. Remove 25% of the servers, allow free xfers off of them so guilds can move en masse, and all of a sudden you'd have a ton of heavy to full servers again.

As far as where the game will be population wise in 3 months, I believe around a million. The game's still excellent, but it's got flaws and for people who aren't into rolling alts they're going to leave for the next shiny thing. TOR is going to need another few months to add things that the typical MMO gamer expects, unfortunately.

My guess, a lot less.
