I know you were being sarcastic, but I want to take this moment to point out that TESO only has 700.000 subscribers.

And god knows how many of those are active and not just waiting for their subs to expire after buying a 6 month...

PvE, RP, PvP and oh so much more has gone beyond expectations, and I have no doubt this game will hit the 5 million player mark once this new update hits!!!
See above. Keep pushing the goal line out so success of any kind is labeled as a failure in your mind.

They could announce they solved world hunger and you would make it negative. Carry on ol chap.

Kind of funny how utterly wrong the "game will shut down" and "will be dead in 6 months" trolls were.

You honestly don't know how it works, do you? Let me explain...

I work for a large world wide company. My department is divided into several different projects. There are 20 of us. We do several different engineering projects at the same time, yet we get them all done and flourish and start new projects.

That is how companies work these days. Just an FYI...

And as for the strongholds, from what I have read and seen on youtube, I will pass on it, Correct me if I am wrong ,but it is 98% just decorating and the only "good" thing was the legacy storage. But it is too limited and expensive.
My first experence with Base building was with COH, I had a Hero side and villian side Bases. I was the only member of the super groups, and I spent 8 months + soloing to get the credits to build them, I bought generators,and rooms and storage racks, and 12 teleports for the different zones(plus unlocking each of the zones). They were very functional. and very good looking, I never used any of the decorations . they were a lot of fun to use . From what I have seen of strongholds, I will skip
COH had real bases..and the prestige for making them came out automaticly and did not affect your money generating efforts. you just had to play.

...and are you most of the time late with your projects? Promise something and give something else?

State of the game is no longer determined by the number of subscribers. The health of the game is determined by how much real-life money all those f2p players (and subscribers) waste buying cartel coins to buy virtual shiny objects.

Did not read all comments.
I wouldn't be sorry if this game failed badly with this type of management.

When game released they opened so many servers without checking population numbers.
When people started to whine on forums that servers were empty, many other people called us trolls.
When people started to stop paying for an empty server BW was working on mighty legacy system(i am sure legacy system will save the world one day) instead of merging servers.
When they merged servers people already had quit.
I can count at least 20 people who used to play in Tott Donetta server who had quit cos there was no pvp.
We were kill trading with REPS at ilum.
2 years have passed and they still haven't or couldn't fix engine problems, i love typing stuck at least once a day.
I love PVP lag.
Now i play with 3 other friends who are new to game complaining about lag. We all play GW2, we don't pay for it and we have no problems.
At this point even if they change whole game engine, who can promise it won't have issues?
How many people would return?
And, also i pay this game with 73 ms while playing other games at 20-40 ms. Dunno why.
Starfighter is what i expected from this game when i started, loved it. Now Eve Valkyrie is on its way, if its good, i won't have any other reason to play this.
Hail the guy who decided to release legacy system instead of merging servers.
