EA to Release Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year 2012 Results on May 7, 2012

You don't have to have a degree...but you have to know what the hell you're talking about...

With the 30 day free subs this number is meaningless.

Every single account with a free 30 days will count as a "sub".

I grew up with Nintendo 64 with Pokemon Stadium 1 & 2.

I care, mostly because 90% of the 30 people I came to SWTOR with have left.

SWTOR needs things that will bring them back!

and that statement was refuted no less than 2-3 posts below the post you quoted... read the whole tread first.

Someone said something on the interent.

That's not "refuted". If it were nothing ever said would be true.


Have they actully specifically stated anywhere the dates they'll only be counting?

Personally I think they'd be mad not to count the free subs, and I imagine that's what their marketing dept. will be pushing them to do, although equally it could backfire, so maybe they won't (but as most MMORPGs routinely count ALL free trials it I wouldn't bet on it).

And by saying they have some explaining to do about stock prices being down is wrong how?

Sooo what you're saying is I don't understand the reasons behind why their stock is down?

So in other words someone should explain it to me why their stock is down?

So in other words there is some explaining to be done why their stock is down?

Wait... isn't that what I first said?

what does that have todo with share prices and financial reports or how many subscribers there are world wide for the zones its been released in, did the people who came with you and left for there own reasons stop you from being able to make new friends with people who also stayed along with yourself ?

Im not having a go at you but wouldnt it be better to make new friends with people who enjoy the game as much as you.

The way things are heading I'll have to "make friends" on a new server, with legacy that just won't happen (I'll just be another one that quits - I'm not regrinding all that legacy just to reroll on a server that might go the same way - seen it all in WAR before).

But if SWTOR cannot get at least some of those 90% back with improvements then it is doomed.




However you obivously never played Warhammer Online as EA pulled the Developement plug.

If is is not making enough money they just mothball and milk it. Sub numbers and share price matter to your game experience, whether you accept it or not.

Well actually i did play warhammer, even when i used to get instant lag death in fort battles and kicking gankers up the bum when they were a chicken, Taking war is a bad example though, there was a huge battle between ea and goa that impacted very badly on the game itself. As for EA's share prices for me they have very little todo with the fortunes of swtor.

We have no idea what the minimum subs are for creating profit but we are way way way above it, they have tons in development and i dont see how the 90% of your friends leaving are any basis for the fortunes of swtor but only reflect the nature of the 90% of the people who you came with. im sure you could find 27 people on your server on your side to be friends with and guild with to not make you not have to change server and restart your legacy.
