Didn't Daniel Erickson said just a few weeks ago that the subs are not going down, only the time people spend in the game? looks like he either lied or has no clue what is going on.

I said nearly half, and I said in the last 6 months. They had 2-2.2 million in the first month, dropped to 1.7 million after the first month, then drops to 1.3 million now. That is nearly half

Quote: 75% retention is not bad. Though given it's a Star Wars IP, 25% drop in sub seems rather steep. Star Wars sells. i guess maybe people woke up and relized that not everyone just buys the game because they slapped the name star wars on it i mean,when i look at mmos.i dont just look at the name of the mmo and buy it,i look and see what the content looks like.but whatever,the only reason ive stuck with sw tor for so long is because id rather puke then play wow again

Even the news report has it as a huge negative. They just said a few days ago that subs didn't drop. 400,000 people is crazy bad. As many have pointed out, these numbers are before both patch 1.2 as well as the expansion into 38 new countries. The current, instantaneous number is probably closer to the original 1.7 million. Regardless, the game only needs 500k subscribers to remain profitable, and if that means dumping 1.2 million whiners, I'd actually be down for that (though I'm sure EA would disagree!).

Oops! Remember that time Daniel Erickson was telling us--only a couple of weeks ago--that subscriptions hadn't changed?

25%? Wait until 26th May when the free 30 days end and it will be 75%.

Yeah I remember a lot of people saying they'd be 500k or less sub's by this time, if not either shut down or F2P. Anything over 1 million at this stage is actually pretty good, and a sign of a strong and healthy game. However I do think they need to do something about the server population.
