Until then, anyone projecting doom'n'gloom for SWTOR is basing it off very little evidence, as we have only two quarters to report... one with a massive jump in sales, the other with a lesser decline in subscribers. The third and fourth quarter reports will paint a much more clear picture. I say patience until then. If you enjoy the game, keep playing it. If you don't, well, there are other MMOs out there that may be more for your liking.
This.

The free month will go into the next report, inflating THOSE numbers

This reports states otherwise. They state 1.3 million subs at the end of April.
How do you measure the success of an MMO?

apparently if you make a thread about one thing no one else can make another about the same topic but with a different question.... Great job Bioware mods.
Yes, they will be counted, that's a standard in all MMORPGs.

It's just whether the free months that were give (not with box but for L50 etc) are counted in this or not.
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too?

I hope it does succeed, but after a 25% drop it's looking pretty bleak
Do not follow where the path may lead, instead go where there is no path and leave a trail

Divide by everything is fine and nothing is wrong. You get 25% more players so I predict by the end of...

August the game will have a 350% player increase.

Sorry, active means anyone with an ACTIVE account, just because you cancell doesn't mean your account is not ACTIVE. You can still play while you have days remaining, so your account is ACTIVE.

I cancelled, had 29 days left of my account, then i got the free days added also.

It also shows that TOR DOES have less subs that Aion...

So TOR is the third most played MMO behind WOW and Aion atm. Is that bad?

Quoted for truth. I cancelled and have 49 days left on my account.

Going from 1.7 to 1.3 million even though a large chunk of the playersbase got a free month that prevents them from showing in this statistic is dire news indeed.
