As said 2.4 million copies sold...1.3 million subs so 1.1 million people have said "no thanks" and the trend in subs is steeply down. I think its pretty safe to say nobody at BW is happy.

I have been following the game since 2008 when it was first announced. I have given it plenty of time.

It looks like the majority is happy. Math.... it's a heluva drug.
I think you need to be on heluva alot of drugs to believe anything Bioware says about server numbers.

Especially after DE said players weren't leaving, they gave out tons of free time and...oh never mind.

You must be smoking that math again.

Exactly. Yes, the game is high functioning on 1.3 Million. Most companies would be happy for that level of subscriber base, but it does not bode well for the future. That rate of attrition is obscene and anyone who can't see that is being willfully ignorant.

There is only one thing that is truly a justified complaint, and that is that Bioware launched the game without working character transfer and server merge systems.

The fact that they are still not implemented 4 days shy of the five month mark is inexcusable.

No, I'm the one trying to get people to realize that 1.1 million players lost or not retained--45% of total box sales to date--half a year in, is somehow bad.

Or is that good?

you expect people who are displeased with the game to spend more money while not expressing there issues with the product they are paying monthly for?

The whole, 'this is biowares first mmo' argument is pure bunk.

Bioware, or any other developer for that matter, has had MORE THAN ENOUGH opportunity to learn from the mistakes of major MMOs like WoW, EQ, EQ2, CoH, and even its predecessor SWG, and any number of other MMOS.

This argument totally falls apart in the face of recently released MMOs like Rift, Tera and others that did in fact take to heart the mistakes made by their peers.

Sorry, but I'm not buying this for 1 millisecond.
