THe problem with MMOData.net is you CANT verify his sources.

I see NO WHERE on that site where he lists how he comes up with his numbers.

Until he starts providing sources his data is pure hogwash.

Second, World of Tanks is more fun for me right now then SWTOR.

I don't recall seeing "Packs" but even if it did, how is that a blatant lie? I have installed hotfixes on my computer but they didn't seem warm at all. Pack is short for package...and software or content comes in a package, physical or digital.

When i purchased my six month subscription i never i a million years thought this game would be so poorly mis managed

LOTRO is only FTP until level 50..atleast it was that way the last time I played it. Rift and WoW both have FTP until level 20.
Trust is something which is earned.

EXTREMELY unlikely, we're already witnessing the same pattern as WAR, AoC, LotRO, and Rift. which is, strong sales at launch, an early peak right after launch, followed by a sharp dropoff, and then steadily declining subscriptions. The game already peaked and is dropping off.

I am simple arguing that unless the owner of MMO Data provides sources for his numbers, its all hogwash. No more reliable then anything else anyone says on these forums.

I think the 30% drop has proven without a doubt this game will not be the "new WoW". Anyone who thinks otherwise is seriously delusional.

Welcome to every MMO that's not named Warcraft.

The hilarious thing is in a few weeks we'll all be having this same conversation about Tera, and in a few months about The Secret World and Guild Wars 2
If ignorance is bliss, why aren't more people happy?

We laugh, you scream and shout
