Everyone reading this thread... if you don't check out the following link, you're out of the loop... big time.

Galactica Online hits 9.2 million users...

There are many ways to interpret that data, but the simple fact is, conventional subscription MMOs are dying.

You quit, 5 others would join because of it being Free to Play and will more then likely spend more then $15 a month between all of them together.
How do you measure the success of an MMO?

But It's sooooooooooooooo p2w as far as PvP goes lol

Stop posting the truth.

It just makes them less intelligent.

(They are like gremlins and food past midnight)
Ganking leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to pvp.
The Swtor forum attracts trolls because the forums are more fun than raiding dragon soul.
Complaining is the new meta game.

From opening weekend, they have lost 1.1 million out of the 2.4 million sold.

Well... Duh.

Sub based MMOs have been dying out for years.

Casey Shriner called it like... 2 years ago.

As to whether this goes FTP?

I'll will take way more then a 400k drop to do that. Try 1m.

Aren't all games like that? You think monthly subs are free.. it's 15 a month to play to win, IF you have the time to GRIND..... I think what the issue is.. a F2P. might mean that ANYONE regardless of skill OR TIME spent grinding, can buy what they need.. So if Mr Casual wants top end game gear to OWN a mob or someone in PvP, he can buy what he needs, and not grind hours for it....... Welcome to LIFE..

Eh. Idk, they have a very loose definition of "users".

League of legends supposedly has 3.6m "users".

They define "users" as people who have made accounts.

Since its free to play its not like they have sub numbers or anything.

I'd be interested to see their concurrent users.
