Well Daniel Erickson has said as recently as today that Subs for TOR haven't dropped So I'm going to take a wild guess and say 1.7 million active subscriptions for TOR.



So much for the Omgzorz mass exodus!!!

Because the free 30 days doesn't happen until after the financial report, they did it that way specifically for the doom cryers.

Nice try.

Its still not 6 months after Dec/Jan. So all those 6 month subs that were paid for but where the players quit are still counted.

The only thing I would be interested in is if there has been ANY growth at all.
The Crew Skills button must also be a UI bug like the HIGH setting for textures.

Do you have any idea the tiny fraction of people who purchased six months subs?

They did a seminar about this a couple years back at GDC.......less than .5% Three months subs are the most common with around 5% of MMO players purchasing those.

So the six month subbers aren't even enough to count I would wager; the vast majority of subscribers go month to month or sixty day game cards.

so i wonder if the games subs havent dropped then why do so many people say so many servers are dead then.game could have 10 mil active subs,but they all want to roll on the same servers,so who cares

not to mention.lets come back and see what daniel erickson says about the subs when upcoming mmos come out,im sure there gonna be a hell of alot less then 1.7 mil

I don't think TOR has too much to worry about with GW2 at most GW2 will be the game people play along with whatever they are subscribing to rather than instead of...in fact I'm betting that GW2 doesn't break half a million sales in it's first two months.

just wait until upcoming mmos come out.then lets take a look at what daniel erickson has to say on the active subs.my guess is,its going to be a whole hell of alot less then 1.7

anyone who thinks this game has 1.7 mil active subs for any other reason then people tired of world of warcraft and nothing really worth playing in terms of mmorpgs is lieing to themselves

You know you just said that TOR is the best game out currently

So it's gone from OMGzorz mass exodus!!!!! to folks are staying until the <insert next over hyped MMO here> comes along.

Wow the straw grasping is over 9000
