EA shareholders meeting: over/under 300k subs?

So maybe all the haters and fanboiz should not say anything unless they have 100% absolute proof about anything. If they think its a bug they shouldnt post untill they are 100% absolutely sure it is. They can get this by getting an official statement from Bioware confirming it is and that its safe to then post in the forums. Then we can let Bioware do all the posting here so the new players can only get information that is straight from Bioware.

Wouldnt the forums be a lonly place then

subs are low but your maths are as well for this 1 reason
when they directed server mergers they did pacthing to increases server pops and the number each one could hold so now server numbers are inaccurate and there has been no info on what the new pop limit was made this has been the cause of many of the latest lag issues and spiking
i will say guessing only that we have around 700k subs with 500k every day players
i being subed but not playing every day cos im bored and the games lacked and direction and yes im a swg fan
but i was a bigger swtor fan and this game could have been way better
great story line tho ill give them that the story god dam rocks

Lol! sounds like someone knows the inter- corporate workings and the politics involved. I know also...was in management for over 20 years in a company which makes EA look like small potatoes. But the same principles apply in both cases.

First the data in the post I linked before has the data from numbers taken after the merge.

Also I have to find it but Bioware(I think it was DE) said that the mega servers or whatever you want to call it wouldnt be done until part 2 or later and no where stated or implied that it would be done before part 2. Also we know part 2 has not begun yet. I will try to find the interview with a time on it.

Well the fact still remains that the number they report is inaccurate when they report it.
A person who's sub ends August 17th (which is anyone who started with a 6 month sub or 2x 3 months) and arent playing will be in their number.
A good number of people who I played with dont even log on but they are an "active" sub until 8/17
So the number although accurate will not really relect actuality
3rd quarter will include ftp, so that number will be inflated as well

They certainly have gone down since last figures, I think it is unrealistic to think otherwise and their 3rd wuarter numbers will be abysmal even with the ftp

But they will report a bigger number then people think just because it will represent the 3m and 6m subs still, so I imagine 700k but in actuality it is closer to 500k, 3rd quarter will be worse

The two numbers I'd really like to see:

How many people have tried the 15-day free to play?
What percentage of 15-day free to play accounts transition into paid accounts?

If they can give a decent number (thousands per week?) to the first and a high percentage (45% would be really, really good) to the second, that would be amazing news for the game.

Here is the video where he days they have done mega servers.

At about 3 minute mark of part 2

He states phase 1 is the transfer and then states they are working on the technology for mega servers but then later on he say it will take a long time.

Considering how long it takes them to come out with "soon" stuff, when they say a "long" time...lol!

Does it really matter? Just play the game and enjoy it. If you don't enjoy it, stop playing and move along!
