first of all trials dont inflate subscription numbers, if people buy the game after the trial they are subscribers and will be added. Second you must be sniffing something funny if you think a company is going to spend that type of cash on something and then not advertise it, give out trials and flood the market with demos to try it and get more people into it.

SWTOR is in no trouble at all, and what you have just stated has been stated since the beta weekends and as of yet has not materialised, a lot of miss beleivers will start to see this in the next few weeks or months.

Aww, so does this mean that the deal that we just made behind their backs that doesnt really exist but it does but to them it doesn't, doesn't actually exist now?

You are right. It dipped down under 10 million with the last statistics that came out. They have been bleeding subscriptions for awhile now. Pandaria is going to be make or break for them. My money is on break.

TOR is not in trouble, but honestly, in the videogames business, boasting to be better than a seven years old game is kinda akin boasting to be able to beat in boxing a sixty years old lady when you claim to be Mike Tyson.

Not to mention that the said lady, in fact, is beating you.

I never mentioned subscription numbers, I was talking about population numbers. This is EA we're talking about, one of the most shady companies in the industry. You seriously think that they wouldn't spend money in order to make it seem like the game is popular?

You are deluded, simple as that.

Subs and popluation are linked, the people on the weekend may make the starter planets and possibly the capital planet more busy but not much else. the over all people playing spread across the whole servers wont go up that much.

And the only one deluded is yourself, aparently your on a game that you state will fail and are still playing, but i half suspect you to now say that you cancled your subs and dont play but tada here you are on the forums of a game you dont like, dont want and have no interest in. Thats what i would call deluded.

I want to point out btw a rather obvious fact : if you play the game 30 hours per month, you are a sub and you count as much as someone who play 30 hours per week.
