As to those posting MMO Junkies data, I thought I'd post these notes and FAQ from the site:

Quote:
Note: Values in y-axis DOES NOT represent player count but instead aggregated server-status. For more information about interpreting them and explanation on how they're acquired, please visit our FAQ page.

Quote:
Can I make guesses on overall subscription count based on these graphs?
NO YOU SHOULDN'T be relying on them to make so guesses.
that is directly from the site admin...the one collecting the data.

I have said that certain aspects of the game design around level 50 aren't very appealing..namely gear grind and the silly numbers of strong mobs.

I think you must have me confused with someone else.
Never said that?

I'd just finished upgrading my gear to lvl 40 items, but now at level 42, I'm seeing the signs that I need to upgrade my gear, namely Strong MOBs who take me to 1/4 health, groups of standards causing me trouble, etc. When my gear is on level, these situations are no problem for me. Moreover, when my gear is on-level, I can typically take MOBs that are a few levels above me. But not so anymore. And the need to re-gear so soon is quite pathetic, in my opinion.

The fact that this game becomes more gear-dependent as you level tells me it's not the game for me. I'm not an effing hamster to be set on the gear-grind hamster wheel. I want to enjoy the story (and I do), but the continued burden of having to gear up to enjoy this story is NOT fun. At all.

Tis true, the game grows.

Sells are up, and new regions have been opened.

New regions that couldnt even make a wait time of more than 5 minutes on one server at 4:30PM local time? And only has 3 servers? You can see the screen shot in this post...

At least we can assume that the majority are new players, as character transfer will take two months.

And to make clear what the serverload stats mean:

they measure the time a server has been in a certain status.

can you calculate exact numbers of people logged in? no!

can you tell the number of subs? bigger no! (even if exact numbers were provided)

can you see a trend in people actually logging in? yes.

And more people are buying the game. Sitting in the top 10 on amazon right now I believe.

Stop with doomsaying. It's unhealthy.



(BW increased server cap on those servers most likely...just an fyi)

I have no rage. Not sure what I said to make you think I'm even mad. Its a game and a bad one. nothing to be mad at.

Last night 10:30 CST NA servers there were only 2 heavy and the rest were split between light and standard. The heavy server I rollled a new toon on last week is now light or standard all the time. It's clear what is going on even if you do not want to believe it.
