Where is the link to your prediction? I searched, but couldn't find it.

the numbers are really not that bad, if they were from today and didnt count the free month subs.

But i rememebr march 31st because its very close to my birthday and we were still running two raid groups and had people on the bench, i had seen a few of our players leave and go back to wow or where ever but i really didnt worry about it, the server seemed a little skinny but it didnt seem game breaking wz que pops were still 10-15 min wait max, although i was in a self supportive guild so i have little to no tie to the community(attn anti cross server lfg people)

But now we have to lfm to fill out one 8 man most of the time and the server is fast becoming a ghost town, pvp ques take forever, and if you want to do a fp much less a hm fp lol good luck with that.

My point is subs have been shrinking for awhile but i dont think they really started to shrik fast in the last 2 months.

Its 24% not 25% ^^

Thats a shame but really doesnt change anything for me. My server population did not noticably drop and subs say nothing about ones individual opinion or enjoyment of the game. I do not fear for SWTOR though, as long as its above 500k we'll be fine.

I agree.
When you find yourself surrounded by hostile Clowns... always go for the "Juggler" first.

"As of the end of April" is what they said.

it's based upon internal metrics.

don't worry, these "numbers" reported by EA are inconsequential, internal metrics are showing everything's good now.

Most people don't play games for their population curves, or how profitable they are, or whatever spin is being thrown out now to somehow make positive light of people leaving the game.

BW needs to pull it's head out, before they have a Warhammer Online quarter where literally 75% of the subs left in 3 months. 25% isn't too bad a start, if you're impressed by incompetence.
