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.
I think I missed something. Are you saying that the majority of subscribers are 3 monthers and that accounts for 5%? Something isn't adding up for me in your assertion.

Oh yeah and seeing how stock is at a low right now under 15 bucks, I think they have some serious splain'n to do to their stockholders.

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
Because BW added a lot more servers than what they had a launch. If you take 1.7 mil subs and spread it out thinner then yea you are gonna end up having some dead servers.

Yeah I agree it's a casual focused MMO...and after testing GW2 and Tera the causal base may try those games but they will come right back to TOR, because those games offer difficulty that will turn causal players off. Nothing good or bad about that, it's just the nature of the demographic. If Bioware keep focusing on the causla market and get's it's act together with some of these bugs they should do very well.

I'm one of those guys that has a hard time not telling you, "You made a dumb move." Then I hope you wont do it again.

I'm also the time to say good job when you get it right
