it cant be on that list, SWTOR has a free to play option its a free to play mmo not a purely sub based MMO. how many of those players are free to play/credit selling bots?

Sub numbers don't matter in a F2P hybrid. Quarterly revenue numbers are what matter.

Revenue was not mentioned in the OP, OP stated it was one of the most played sub based MMO's its not a sub based MMO its a free to play MMO, games like World of Warcraft are sub based.

again that doesn't mean anything with the amount of players that don't pay a dime/the amount of credit bots that don't pay a dime. if the game was as popular as you think it wouldn't need a free to play model at all.

WoW also has a f2p option. And a cash shop.

By number of subscribers SWTOR is very much up there.

Gotta love the little haters shaking their little fists at the game and anything resembling an undeniable fact that the game is doing well:

"nahaa but, but, this game is still gonna die, just you wait you, just you wait!"

So cute

Eve online almost died in the early days. Much less support than swtor. It is an older game than wow and is sub based.

But agreed, swtor has improved a great deal. Very enjoyable.

And you sub just so you can troll the forums? What is with some of you, no matter what info comes out you desperate haters try to spin it into crazy nonsense. It doesn't matter what anyone says here to you the only people playing Swtor are bots..../facepalm.....just go spend your time on something you enjoy....some of these haters are getting pathetic.
