I will say that number will be pretty close for their 3rd quarter though
This includes me, and my sub will be cancelled by then.

I am very disappointed in SWTOR.

My sub will be counted, but it ends shortly after.

Shame really, it was a good game. I just had higher expectations that were not met

250k - 400k (worst case // best case) and I bet only half of those numbers actually play every day.

During the last conference call they did free trial weekends, and they said that "active accounts" included people paying a sub, people in their 30 day trial period, AND people in the Free trial weekends.

Now however there is a free trial ALL the time, will anyone who signs up for TOR ever be counted as an "active account"

If someone who owns stock in EA could call in and have them specify during the call that would be great. (Yes, anyone who owns stock is allowed to call in and ask a question during the meetings, granted they only answer some questions, but can't hurt to ask)

They will count free trials that have been active within the last billing month of any count, most likely.
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too?

50,000 players at the maximum. The forums are a good indicator that just about everyone has left the game. Right?

I also expect an announcement that we're going F2P and that BioWare is being shut down, with the ToR project being handed to EA's interns for experimental purposes.

Also, Guild Wars 2 will be announced to have 25 million current players even before the games release, and Jesus has come back from the dead to personally make sure that they have the most innovative PvP system ever conceived.

I would say they probably have 100k subs. I really think it's that bad.
The best MMO I have played in a long time. Not perfect but pretty close to it.

Gentlemen, place your bets!

I'd say around 800k and still sinking.

Didn't this happen on the 26/07? Anyone know if they mention SWTOR?

I just listened to the recording of the meeting - doesn't seem like anything was mentioned about SWTOR - nor could I see it mentioned as one of their strong brands.

It's a possibilty no one will ask about it al la WAR and we'll never know.

The numbers come out on July 31st. Its going to paint a sorry picture really. Not including free trials, I think the number will be around 850k players left, which is a massive drop since launch. Only a handful of subs based MMOs have ever grown their user base so the outlook is bleak.
