The Nurse has MIDICHLORIANS!

 

Not to be confused with mondoshawans though..

167 Million Subs? or 167 million pre orders?

I just simply can't believe that this game has 167 million monthly subscribers. I just don't see that happening for any MMO. Box orders, perhaps, but subs, nooooo way.

Huh?

I'm pretty confident when I say no one has EVER claimed the game has either 167 million subs or pre-orders.

I think your getting $ amounts predicted and sub numbers confused there my friend ..

The fact that you can see box orders hitting 167 million baffles me heh :p

SWTOR is World of Warcraft with a StarWars skin.{mod edit}

GET OVER IT COYOTE. Just because you want to play the game doesn't mean it's NOT a WoW clone. Anyone with eyes can see that it is, and in fact the subscriber #'s has no bareing on whether or not the game itself is actually "Good". Quality of Quantity, or did you forget that phrase sir? WoW had around 10million subscribers, most of whom multiboxed 3+ accounts per person, and the game was shite terrible. WoW is, and always has been, considered the "Entry Gate" MMO for new people to the genre. It's not actually a good game, sorry :(.

WoW certainly was the most "successful", but is by far NOT a quality MMO.

It's um, right there in the opening paragraph of the article?  "Star Wars: The Old Republic is going live at the end of this month, and to date it already has over 167 million subscribers making it the largest MMORPG launch ever recorded by man.

That's million with an "M". Go ahead, double check our numbers if you want, but the internet never lies."

Or gone on to become one of the best baddass Jokers in DC history. Sorry Coyote but you lose on this one because if you're going to count Arby's, count his work as the Joker as well.  But overall, nice and witty.

 

...and it only took him 30 years to find work. Good for him.

Great read Coyote. Thanks!

only problem with the article was allowing reader comments.

Oh, I got TROLLED? I didn't see that one coming. Reion1 welcome to the internetz.

If there was a :hug: emote, there'd be one here for you.

Handled with aplomb, +1 internets to Reion1

If there was an accept /hug emote I would be getting hugged right now. +1 for Reion1's hugability.

It is allright for coyote you are just another number to his list of victims. He is most probably twirling his mustache and cackling right now.

Honest.

Real.

Accurate.

Fair.

Balanced.

Serious journalism wins again.  /fist_pump

I dont see why its so hard to be nice and help others instead of letting them frustrate u to quit a game or act like an ass

I never got that. So we were all mmo noobs at one point. ive played mmos for almost 7 yrs now. That said what is the point in being mean and not helping others

I remember my first dungeon in wow i didnt realize u had to hit / roll to go after a chest and i just looted it . i also didnt know what the hell greed or need was. Lets just say instead of explaining it to me i got flamed. 

My gf took the time to explain what id done wrong a few minutes ater as i was bitching and was gonna quit and i would of said im sorry , i did give the others the gear so didnt understand there being so pissed 

So why not actually help people out who are new to mmos instead of flaming them.l

Ya know what's even better than comments here?

And his alter ego, Sith Gaines!

They should make you read and agree to this before the EULA when you load up the game.

Anyone else scrambling for the name DaRtHPWNZJOO now?
