You think they didnt pick up a single sub there either? Do you listen to yourself?
This 38 country expansion has not resulted in any increase in concurrent population , but it may have stemmed the increasing rate of decline.

Warhammer sold 1.2 million boxes at release.

http://www.videogamer.com/pc/warhamm...2_million.html

Just google it.

Or check wikipedia even:

Warhammer Online initially received favorable reviews. GameSpy gave it 5 out of 5 stars and claimed, "[it] has hit the ground running with one of the best MMO experiences we've had in a long time."[28] GameSpot gave it a 8.5 out of 10 and said, "Questers and explorers may not find what they're looking for, and certain gameplay systems don't mesh as well as they should. Nevertheless, there's more than enough exciting PvP content here to keep newcomers and veterans alike immersed in the perpetually violent tug of war between the forces of Order and Destruction."[27] Warhammer Online has an aggregate score of 86% on metacritic.com[24] and 87% GameRankings.com.[23]

As of September 30, 2008, WAR had sold 1.2 million copies and had 800,000 registered users.[31]

As of October 10, 2008, Mythic Entertainment announced that 750,000 people were playing Warhammer Online.[32]

As of December 31, 2008, the number of active WAR subscribers had decreased to "over 300,000 paying subscribers in North America and Europe."[33]

As of May 5, 2009, Electronic Arts executives confirmed in an investor conference that they have 300,000 subscribers as of the end of March 2009,[34] shortly after the company reported a loss of $1.08 billion in the financial year for 2009.[35] Consequently, the number of servers was drastically reduced[36] in order to consolidate the remaining population. The total number of servers was reduced to 13 and the number of role-playing servers was reduced to 1.[37]

Since this date, several servers were stopped, particularly in Europe, and there remained only 9 servers : 4 in the USA and 5 in Europe (including 2 in German & 1 in French).

As of February 9, 2011, 2 other U.S. Servers and 1 German server have been removed, leaving a total of 6 servers worldwide (2 in the US, 4 in Europe).[38]

Since December 14, 2011, the game is now down to 3 servers, one for the US, one for Germany and one for the rest of Europe not including Germany.

Actually it's worse, they didn't buy many boxes. Sales of SWTOR have been poor in those new countries.

Obviously not, check TorStatus which as you know measures population trends, if they were logging in the trend would be positive.

As I said, they probably are logging in however 'net out' > 'net in'

u wont see so many problems.

BTW last day is my sub last day, only 21 ppl on imp fleet, and most of them r my old guild crew, how ironic, where is other PCs? all reroll on fatman?
This proves you are a troll, because I have seen you posting this everywhere. every day.

Maybe BIOWARE should read the forums. They spent $300 million on developing a story and voice over stuff. Maybe they might start working on the OTHER half of the game.
