To the Anonymous Insider

Six month subs aren't gone yet. With the free 30 days EA gave away to pad the numbers for the last investor call, the 6-month subs that started on Day 1 are active until mid August. I'm interested in seeing the numbers though.

What do you mean by "or"? Can't it be both?

It is ok to disagree. The one problem I have with mods/addons is...they can become so heavily used, the content encounter will become much more complicated , because the developers know the player base will be using them to make the game easier for them. DBM and Decursive is two which come to mind as a absolutely needed feature by many raiders in WOW. So they feel the need to design the encounter based on that . Thus it will extend over to a lack of not using them being a disadvantage.

I need to point out, I have done a lot of raiding without using them. Not up to heroic mode. But back in Vanilla WoW, MC, ZG and AQ for example. And TBC with Kara, Grull's Lair , SC. Same type of raiding in WOTLK, etc. One thing I really enjoy about the raiding in LFR in WoW is no need to use any mods to succeed and no pressure by anyone to use them. Yes the encounters are not as tough as normal and heroic as the rewards are also not as good. But I am ok with that. I can do them at my best times with less hassle.

I am one of the few WoW players who has never, not once..had to reset his UI. And it makes me chuckle when they do a big patch and all those I know who use them are having issues until the mod creators come out with update to thier mods for the new patch. It is a time I enjoy poking fun at my friends who use them when they do. It is all done with respectful humor however.

I think it's probably too coincidental for this latest batch of silence to not be related to the investor call.

SWG at launch wasn't a sandbox? Oh my...

They don't HAVE to give sub numbers, and now that they are surely under 1 million, they probably won't.

If you mean silence on the forums that can be down to one of 2 things, the people that came here to bash the game only and never gave it a chance had 3 month subs which coincidently is the exact time the forums became less hate filled by a long way and the second is that people who were activly trolling and attacking people will have built up forum infractions and finaly banned from the forums thus there silence.

No swg at launch was a themepark game, how hard is it for you to read, let me explain something to you. Second life is sandbox, swg was themepark with sandbox elements.

Having player housing doesnt make a sandbox game, rift has playerhousing so are you now proclaiming that rift is now a sandbox game or a themepark game. STO has player created quests so are you saying that is a sandbox. so please tell us when does a themepark game become a sandbox game in your eyes.

So they don't have to list subs for shareholders for games under 1,000,000 subs?

Your theory is that a large number of people spent over $100 just to troll the forums for 3 months?

No, I think he clearly means Bioware's silence. Bioware treats their customers like they don't matter. We're not even worth a 60 second forum post daily. When Bioware gives us no hope, the changing attitude on the forums is to be expected. Silence->discontent->frustration->anger

Actually duder no they dont, they are not requested to, many years wow didnt give sub numbers in investor calls. they only have to state net and gross profit and net and gross lose. How they will improve growth and profits and what they have planned for there investment.
