You made the claim it was the worlds most expensive video game ever. You didn't say "at the time" I was pointing out you will twist words to make your points seem legit. You will post things you know are not true to…
Originally posted by CazNeerg As for spectacular failure, lol. They were explicit about the number of subscribers they needed to turn a profit. Prior to adding the free option, they had never actually dropped below that number. Even if they have …

It's kind of cute when you talk about investors as though it's a group of a few hundred guys and gals who take a lunchroom poll, and how that poll goes affects the stock price.

I believe the amount of time and effort put into trying to work out the number of subscribers for SWTOR could be better spent on something people actually care about.
Fat chance of tha…

I think he was trying to rationalize how 2 million new FTP accounts suddenly became 1.7 million new FTP accounts.

It could be as OP describes. Who knows. Corporate press releases are more of an art form then anything.
When Bioware said they had 2 million new ftp accounts, they also said SWTOR was the number 2 sub-based MMO in the Western World. Well if EVE has…

my numbers would put my estimate at 510,000.
I still think that's is giving SWTOR more subs then it has, but it still is a useful exercise. Makeb may very well show what the true subscriber base number is. (Ballp…

I found the article to be less than informative.
The article has the usual FTP talking points, and Damion Schubert writes as though SWTOR is a FTP game, it's not.
Bioware has even begun calling it the Free To Play Option.
You know and I know that…
Hey guys, OP here.
Yes this was all speculation on my part, but I did think it was an interesting exercise.

(Other Freem…

Originally posted by gervaise1 Basic premise seems OK - just ignore any F2P folks who have bought it and assume any estimate is on the high side.
However to apply concurrence that would mean that all servers had e.g. 30 instances of Makeb all the …
