The most authoritative source is probably EA's financial results, which say "subscriptions, advertising, and other digitial revenue...down 16% over the same period last year. This was driven by...and a decline in Star Wars: The Old Republic subscription revenue, as the free-to-play offering continues to grow."

Unfortunately the comparison is with the year ago period Nov-Jan, which I suspect itself was a low point for subscriptions since it was just prior to RotHC. The next report should cover the Feb-Apr period, and begin to give a glimpse of how much retention we've had since RotHC which came at the beginning of April.

Pretty sure that's called Group Ranked.

Sorry bud, no. Tried it once and was totally lost. Game is way, way beyond my capacity. When galactic war can break out and players can lose capital ships worth mucho coin because someone forgot to pay the sub, eh, well...

Valkyrie looks like a good entry point for new players though.

I also tried SWG emu - it's pre NGE and I'm slightly lost.

Now that I've re-read what I posted, you're quite correct.

But I still maintain that they shouldn't have added a special 'Ranked' bracket to PvP. It obviously didn't work out.

Proof of unsubbing

I'll be going to Wildstar, will be playing on US server again hoping to meet some of the guys I pvped with, I guess I can still make a toon on an EU realm if I can't find anyone.

That being said, cya in beta today, I just hope I can get any Hawk name.

Sad they fooled us.

What is the point of playing if the only response that the PvPers are ever going to get is No?

First it was *waits 10 hours to announce an important announcement for 1.2 after everyone subbed up because of the hype for ranked warzones* Sorry, no ranked warzones this patch. Try again next time PvPers!

Then it's Heal to full, and perception problem.

and now it's just No.

We used to get paragraphs, and then we got sentences, it went down to couple words...Now it's just No.

Battlestation Sexywagon will be in Wildstar, I'll stick around to play with the few remaining friends that play this game...But after that, I'll go to a game with actual PvP and every aspect of PvP too. The graphics aren't bad, if you're playing a game for graphics then good luck. SWTOR graphics are worse than Wildstar, the clipping and graphical bugs that star wars still has is astounding.

I'll be on the Pergo PvP server this weekend. Hit me up on the exile side if you wanna be friends. Damsyl's the name!

Telegraphs have ruined Wildstar for me, couldn't stand them, especially in PVP, just a giant clusterf*ck of telegraphs everywhere.

Maybe they are ok for people in the US with 20ms but not with 200.

Yea its a pretty complex game and very unforgiving.....which is putting it nicely. I loved reading about that war though because I know those corps. Its especially tough to get into as an American though. So many ruskies.

For those who think this game will die, wasn't GW2 supposed to kill this game? Wasn't this game supposed to tank due to lack of subs? This game has soldiered onwards through the "doomsdays" that some have predicted, and it seems that it will keep going to do such.
Doomsday was when F2P was announced and the cash shop introduced. This game fell long ago.

I was going back to wow. Because my girlfriend is still playing it a bit.

* Launched... got a shock at the ugly shapes and COLORS!!!
* Logged in... Was cheerfull due to my Interface being WAY better than swtors. Addons be thanked. It's just... Smooth!
* Looked at my char and was... 'oh god what a loony-toon' (And I did try to keep it serious!).
* Looked at the other characters... 'ARGH!!!! SHOULDERS!!! COLORS!"
* Gone to Pandaria... and died of overcuddlycoloredness
* read the chat.... someone FLAMING in utter gutterspeak with more z lol and l2p in it than anyone would want to even comprehend. (Challenge: write 256 characters of text without writing ANY word (including I) correctly!).
* killed a few mobs.
* joined a raid to kill 'that elite boss that drops phat loot'
* died, respawned... got the loot... bits of gold... meh
* looked at the gear... yeah... enough... pvp gear.. oh new tier... same sh*t (get the gear or be fodder) .... MEH!
* left the game via ALT+F4.

* Started swtor and was greeted by my sith... in his ventilated spaceship... looking not so much cuddly... or colorfull...

Now I know as a Sith I should seethe with rage... but this let a wind of calmness wash over me.

I'll look forward to rage over the haps and misshaps in pvp this evening. RAAAGE!

I can't take that super-colorfull-chinese-website-style game anymore. Not to mention that their "every class must be the same" capitulation to nerf-demanders is HORRIBLE. The x-server queue 's been totally destroying the communities of the servers and promoting anonymus retard-a*seh*le-behaviour. The whole removal of talent trees... Adjustment of all Cooldowns to be equal (interrupts, amount of interrupts, buffs.... )... it's just a freakin grind-fest for the next tier while the biggest challenge is ignoring the other idiots!

Some like it. Some acutally like it BECAUSE it's so colorful and blinky and yey-cute-stuff.
