Next time EA announces number of subs...

I think there will be an increase from this point on. The consolidated servers are packed with people playing. I always have more than I can do content wise so I'm loving this game.
The best MMO I have played in a long time. Not perfect but pretty close to it.

Until infinity? That seems..... unlikely.
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too?

Mark my words, the next time EA announces the sub count, it will either be the same as last time or slightly on the rise!
I agree. Lots of people coming back to here saying that the grass really isn't any greener anywhere else, and that they were selling TOR short in their own minds.

Raise the morale with population, and people suddenly see that the issues they thought were gamebreaking actually aren't, and I called this two months ago.

I'm betting the numbers go down, or they do another set of free time to inflate numbers.

They took too long to get mergers... er i mean transfers going. They refuse to just close servers and merge servers to keep the load right.

They took too long for an LFG tool. Every modern MMO has this, there is no reason to launch without one, and if you do, have one ready within a couple months tops.

Bad enough I sat on a server for 3 months with no one to play with... now I am on a server with no system to get people together fast.

BW really needs to stop looking at threads about how op or underpowered something is, and look at what needs to be in the game NOW, and make it happen. Outfits, not custom ********.

Your system doesn't work, remove it.

Yeah, after dropping to about 700K, they might get up to 800K or so. Technically that's an increase.

You are fat, and your lisp annoys me... however, your rotunda makes it easier to hit you in pvp, and your lisp gives me time to drink some water....

or just give ppl another free month to bump up numbers.....

But the evil geniuses at BW are starting the free trials in july and since they never end they will be able to count anyone who ever makes a free trial account as a sub for the life span of the game. We will probably never know the true number of subs.
That sounds rediculous to me as it's at 1.3 million subs right now, it won't be nearly that bad unless the Devs really put in those class Nerfs, but in all those Nerfs in 1.3.

I doubt it's at 1.3 million right now. Subs are back on the rise, yes, and it will be nice if it returns to 1.3 million by the next report.
