NOW = 1.7 Million Active Subscribers | 3 Months from now = Guess What

"This game sucks, and people are quitting like crazy!"

Actually, it has 1.7 million subscribers.

"Yes, but those numbers are from before the free period ended!"

No, they are from February 1st, the day of the investor call, because they legally cannot lie during one of those.

"Just wait 3 months, you'll see! It'll be dead!"

I'm... I'm just gonna go now.

"DOOOOOOOOM!"

Tattooine had THIRTEEN PEOPLE last night. A FRIDAY NIGHT

Jung Ma is one of the more heavily populated servers.

So I want to know where those 1.7 million subscribers are at.

Our imperial fleet was down from the normal 270 + 1 more phase to 140.

1.7million is not "now" - that was at the end of EA's last fiscal quarter.


You don't have a clue what you're talking about. Those are QUARTERLY result conferences. They are *never* about real-time numbers on any type of business. It's the results of the companies success/failure over the last quarter and what they're going to do to improve or continue.

Difficult to see... Always in motion, the future is...

So basically you haven't yet progressed passed stage 2 denial. :P

What do you have to say about the press release, dated Feb 1st that cites "active subscribers"? You know press releases are also governed by the same laws that don't allow them to lie during an investor call, right?

An even ignoring that, during the investor call they clearly stated that the numbers were from "one month since release", but you just ignore that of course because it doesn't support your ignorant argument.

100% wrong. By stating the above you are simply making known to all of us that you have never participated on quarterly earnings calls.

Ummmm you know the SWGers dont even make up 1% of the current player base

so why mention them at all?

Your right about the hoppers.

That my biggest annoyance with modern developers.

We all know these hoppers are going to hop hop hop, regardless of how a game made. Its what they do.

Yet if you look at who demands faster, sloppier, easier

Its those same hoppers!

So basically developers right now design for a group of people that will never show any loyalty or dedication to a franchise no matter how much it panders to them.

Program to your long term base devs.

PS: (regarding a diff poster) GW2 will not be this industry topping game. GW2 will be GW1 all over again with the same crowd!

So can people STOP yakking like GW2 is going to top the charts and lead the genre forward.

ITS NOT.

Really cant say it any more clear then that!
Want to know why its not, go learn about the actual genre and its history, designs, trends.
GW2 is not ground breaking, not innovative, not anything but a cash grab with a B2P that will go F2P in a year.

Mo' money mo' problems... how is EA gonna deal with that huh? HUH?!

He said the majority of 1.7 million were active subscribers.
Nothing more than that.

ROFL @ "SWG Vets won't stay around for long"

You mean all 17 of you?
