Almost all of them.  :O(   Hello, my name is Boats, and I am a Themeparkaholic. Thank You for sharing Boats. Take a seat....

4 of them: AoC, LotRO, WAR, WoW

AoC and WAR I was fed up with in 2 months. WoW I play on occasion (used the 1-year thingy to get Diablo III and play it for the time being). Bought LotRo on release, jumped in the life-time sub at the 1st anniversary and I still play it quite often (3-4 months a year)

Now do 3 more polls:

• A list of 6 sandbox titles, asking how many of those games players have played.
• The themepark list again, this time asking how many players subscribed past the first month
• And again with sandboxes.

 

Well, make the polls when you want them. I wanted to know how many of the most popular western themepark games visitors of this forum have bought.

I have to add, not only have I bought nearly every one since 99, but most I bought twice so the wife and I could play together.

I'm not going to do the math on this, it will hurt my feelings....

I just bought Lotro but the high level of people that bought 5-6 of these games goes to prove the point I have made in other posts that people just buy anything and mostly pre order them with little- no knowledge of the game.This is why MMO's for me will always be shit.

I bought 3 of the games listed:

WOW - started in vanilla and play a few months per expansion. 

LOTRO - lifetime account

SWTOR - quit before subscription kicked in

I also bought EQ2 and quit after two weeks.  I eagerly followed the forums on AoC and kept an eye on WAR.  I may of bought them if they weren't such disasters.

Rift was of zero interest to me.  I definitely hate their wonky art direction.

Bought WoW, played AoC and LOTRO free, never had any interest in any of the others.  Ended up winning an online contest long after I stopped playing WoW and won the WoW Battle Chest, it's still sitting around in plastic, unopened.

So far ive pick up WoW, Aion, Rift and SWTOR. GW looks promising and Lotr looks dope too. I need more time for games.

Didn't buy WAR or SWTOR because I didn't fall for the hype.

However, I did buy all the others and thoroughly enjoyed them.

Final tally:

The voters in this thread bought 426 copies of the mentioned 6 themepark games, with 119 votes that makes 3,57 themepark games per voter.

What I found interesting is that there's a group of 47 people that bought 5 or 6 of these games. This group of 47 people thus bought 259 themepark games amongst them. The gaming industry loves you. :)

(I'm sure there's nothing representative at this poll, I found it interesting anyway. Thanks.)

I pre-ordered everyone of those games and beta tested 5 out of the 6. Not playing a single one now.

Bought AoC, LotRO, SWToR, WAR, WoW of the six you mention. And all of them I was asked by my gaming pals to buy them since we would be playing each "forever and ever".

Now, when they all are waiting for TSW, I am going for GW2, just to ruffle their feathers.

  Generalizations are just bad.  You prove nothing  - except that you don't like what we do.  Sorry mate - no point, that ball was way out :D!

Need more MMOs in the list and also need another poll :

Of the ones you did buy how many did you subscribe after the free month?

 

Bought 3 of those and add EQ2, Vanguard, and Aion to that. Of all of them, only EQ2 and Vanguard did sub for over 6months.

Yes, I am not sure why he just chose that small subset. I guess they are the best known but it ignores a bunch of pretty well know titles. Guess I must have bought at least double those 6 over the last few years.

All but LoTRO and SWTOR here

How many of these games I bought doesn't necessarily mean how many copies I bought. I've bought 11 copies of 5 of the games on the list.

True, thanks for the tip, didn't think about it. Thus the tally has to state "bought at least ... copies" instead of "bought ... copies".

Many.. and i did not like any of them exept for one that that was The Chronicles of Spellborn but that game failed and shutdown so fast...  the game wasnt that good at launch but it had so much potentional to be good, but yea... they were out of money.

Bought all of them. Three for playing (AoC, Rift and LOTRO) and three for work reasons (gameplay analysis).
