Are you trying to intentionally misunderstand what I said?

1.5 million, when spread out over 200 servers, makes the game feel dead.

It doesn't mean that it is dead. 500-700 people per server at max during primetime is not acceptable and not conducive to group gaming.


Nice job ignoring the rest of what I posted by the way.
Meanwhile, in Tera general chat -

"The sad thing is, arguing with fanbois on the forums was more entertaining than their 300 million dollar single player MMO from 2008"

In major MMO terms, I think under 1.5MM subs is the new dead yes. - that's less than 20 million per year in revenue... factor in all your on-going costs and you pretty quickly you realize there is very little money for things like improvements...

That said, I don't think they even have 1.5million after this month.

Is it because most people playing MMORPGs these days believe they are playing single player games thus don't play them with friends anymore?
It's because some people are more dependant on their 'relationships' with their friends than their friends are on them.

"I hate this game but I'll keep paying only because my 'friends' are here."

"I love this game but I'll quit and leave only because my 'friends' hate it and left."



Which makes more sense? If you answered 'neither', you are a healthy adult.

You are not looking at the facts either. Assuming, that torstatus' information is accurate, here is the breakdown for U.S. servers:

Heavy/Very Heavy: 15 (12%)
Standard: 72 (59%)
Light: 36 (29%)

Whether this is healthy depends on what you feel about "Standard": There are no statistics on torstatus that will help you define this.

Sure there are, you just chose to ignore them.

You still don't explain how 1.7 million would not feel dead but 1.5 million would. I also don't understand your distinction between "feel dead" and "be dead".

I quoted the last paragraph, which I assume was your conclusion and what you were leading up to. It was a bit hard to follow your posting, given that your link is broken.

Then make your case instead of throwing out baseless accusations.

Not sure why you think being bored of something that has nearly no content is the same thing as "hating" it or why you would put friends that you know for over 10 years and meet in real life into quotation marks. If you don't value such long time friendships (or don't have them) and prefer to spend solo/strangers time in other games, that's okay, I am just not like that. It's far more fun for me to play with good friends then being a soloer or grouping with strangers ingame.
