don't understand whats up, give us something?
There was no new flash point in 1.2

That was 1.1

Non raiding people have had the exact same content for almost 6 months now with nothing new to do.

Raiders got 4 bosses on top of that, but that was double edged; by not putting BH comms in EV and putting a very minor amount in NMKP (a raid that is bottle necked by what is unquestionably the hardest fight in the game, way beyond where it should be based on the zone it's in) they REDUCED the amount of end game content to 4 bosses rather then increase it, seeing there is no point at all doing EV or KP once you clear EC.

I love the game and love my guild, and love doing flashpoint in the group finder because they are fun, but hey, people are getting board and leaving and I don't blame them.

The worst part is no new communication or updates. My guild asks "what are we doing for the next few months" and the only answer I can give is "the same zone over and over".

We need a date on when the next raid will be here, and we need it yesterday. Even if it's a year from now you are at the point where having your player base unsub for a year and coming back for that raid is the GOOD THING, the bad thing being rage quit and stop paying attention at all.

Its easy for him to say that because, he has made it clear many times, he does not care if the game shuts down he will just find something else to do. What he doesnt understand is other people do care.

I mean the guy you quoted salty not you.

I'm willing to bet we are nowhere near the 350k some people are trying to claim. Based on past mmo experience the shakeout period is OVER.

We're floating around 1 mil. Called it right here, right now.

Am I supposed to apologize if my life doesn't revolve around this game? Don't even know what to say to that.

Sig it so you can eat crow later, you know as well as I do that this thread will be locked. You also know as well as I do that they will pat the number with the F2P people and the people that have subs running out just after the call. The true proof is in the 12 servers. There is noway that 12 servers have 1 million subs on them.

Did I ask for an apology. I just ask that you understand that there are many passionate people that want this game to succeed and do really well. Just because you dont care if it lives or dies doesnt mean that I dont. You can say the things you do because you dont care. Thats all Im saying.

Lost Island would like to have a word with you. It came out in 1.2

You are wrong about skipping EV and KP there is a major poitn and that is Black Hole comms. Now yes once you have all your black hole gear there is no point but when you reach that point there is no reason to do EC anymore really.

Last month I made a what can we do to help kind of post and it turned into a healthy population debate. So let me say what I said then. When the second quarter results come in and the 3rd quarter projects are released you will see the active subs dropped by another 400k. that means that either we will have a active sub count right around 500k or less. This can be clearly seen by the merger into 12 servers. If we had a active sub of 1million one would think that 33% of that population would be found in NA. Now I would believe that NA would have 330K in active subs only if there were more than 12 servrs active and those servers were listed from standard to full during primetime every night. However this is not the case so I am going to call it right now. Total sub base world wide will be down to 500k with a US population of around 190-240k

NOr does mine but it would be nice to play a MMO a night or two a week where there was new content to explore. I cant even imagine how the hard core player who is on every single night must feel about this game in its present state.
