You have lost, just admit this game is not doomed, it is the second most successful MMO launch ever, and probably has the best retention rate since Warcraft.

Yah i thought maybe around 700k ish they have retained,this is very good news for BW imo,for instance lets be conservative and as it stands right now they have a million sub base,i cannot recall any other mmo's that retained that number after release for six months to a year,i might be mistaken but i cant recall any.

I think 1.2 was one already...it was called "Legacy".
All warfare is based on deception • If his forces are united, separate them • If you are far from the enemy, make him believe you are near • A leader leads by example not by force

1.3 million subs, yet half of their entire north american server cluster is DOA and next to impossible to play on.
My server never has more then 500 people online concurrnetly. Off hours it barely hit 200.

How does that happen exactly? Oh wait, I know. About half of their customers are on borrowed time this month.
I don't hate this game or want it to fail, but right now, until they wipe half of these servers and get us all onto primetime heavy pop servers, it might as well be failing. It is for me. This is no fun.

Oh do dailies I can solo and...

The company also expects to release more expansion content for “Star Wars” this year — including two expansion packs in the current quarter.
Your guess is as good as mine. But I suspect it's 1.2 and 1.3 content patches. But reporting them as "expansion packs" to the investors is a blatant lie, IMHO.

Even then, losing 700,000 subscribers in 6 months is huge when looking at the number of servers. The facts are still there, there is way to many servers, and they literally need to drop servers, otherwise they will still keep on bleeding subscriptions.
2 million box sales=/=1.7 million active subs after free trial.

1.3 Million is still pretty strong imo.

"STAR WARS®: The Old Republic™ active subscribers are 1.3 million. Two new content packs — Legacy and Allies, available in Q1."

Any ideas on what this Allies content pack might be?
Guild Alliance, I presume.

Wow is losing a massive amount of subs and it has LFG, Addons etc. To think BW will keep subs by adding those features is "silly".

The people that left were bored wow fanboys and they are no real loss anyways.

They just can't accept that it is successful. They don't like it, so it must be doomed, lol.
