  yes my guild has about 310 people and getting about 35-40 every night which is not good

Very true, but 700K is a lot better than I envisioned after launch, particularly for a game I expect to be a niche title.

The 500k sub statement was given well over a year ago. LA is not recieving a share of sub revenue, it is a % of total revenue and its around 5%. EA gets gets all of the money from what a box is being sold to stores to. EA then dishes out to copyright holders. Bioware...is owned by EA.

Thay have already made over 100 million from Subs, sales from the nations it recently released in hasnt been released yet either. The game easily topped 200 million in revenue.

You don't have to buy anything to play Vindictus.

But when TERA is the subject, somehow 700k is considered a success.

Irony...

SWTOR cost 10x as much as Tera....

If they only have 700k players so far, that seems a bit problematic. I don't want to be a doomsayer, but most games have a fairly substantial drop off in sales after a few months. Hopefully they keep enough numbers to make a decent profit and pay for the start of their next project as well as fund all the patches and updates for Tera.

Its true bad trolling is bad...

Topic is Tera has 700k players...not 700k subs...same with those I am replying to, who said having that many players is great. Deal with it.

I suggest you log into any one of the games servers, far more than you will find on Tera. P2W cash shop has nothing to do with anything, topic is about how many people are playing.

I've am playing Tera, andI find it pathetic that the trolls have started the hate before a month is even out. Give people time to play to the endgame and check out the content please.

I am loving this game despite it's lack of variety in the filler quest department (the main story quests are good enough).

The action combat was everything it said on the tin, I felt like I was playing a 3 D beat em up, which was awesome, the single beginning area was an economy but it was adequate.

Graphics are right up there, the environment is realistic enough to give a feel of immersion, the desert for instance, has puffs of grit whiped up by the wind.

Combat animations are smooth and realistic and natural, a joy to behold.

I reserve the full judgement until the endgame but right now, it's the best thing since WoW for me personally and I'm playing it like an addicted maniac.

700k is clearly for NA as an En Masse admin wouldn't have a way of accessing how many subscribers K-Tera has or EU Tera which is by hosted frogster.That information would be useless since it has no impact on NA Tera for the person who asked this gm in terms of gameplay. The three versions of Tera are not based on the same server, neither in the same location or by the same companies.

700k subscribers for just NA seems okay, but i dont know if it will last.

Another one that thinks outdated information isnt important and that their opinion overrides an investor report which by law must contain actual information or they are guilty of corporate investor fraud.

GW2 socialist.

You know jtcgs, as much as I agree with some of your points, you're being a bit obnoxious about it overall.  I say let the Tera fans enjoy their time in the sun, people have been giving them a hard enough time lately as it is and we don't want people doing the same to us (even though that's very likely to happen lol).

no GW2 won't kill WoW, but it's time to move on and quit worrying about those people still playing it. - eyelolled

Game was released in Jan of 2011...who is the troll now? There is 16 months worth of information telling us how bad the game is, they didnt even like it in Korea. As for 700k being outside of Asia...where were the pre-order news releases? No company that has a great pre-order amount doesnt give out a press release to brag.

This is SWTOR all over again.

Fanboys playing the cop in front of a burning building...move along, nothing to see here.

I agree with this. And, I see Tera breaking the "gone to F2P" record too because of those other games. Combat is the only thing unique that it has going for it.

Don't you worry yourself. It isn't mentioned whether the 700k is just NA or globally, so you can't be certain. Also, talking about the release deate in Korea has absolutely nothing to do with the release date in North America. The more you know!

Its you who has clearly no idea of what you are talking about.
 

LA does not get a "percentage of sub fees". He right about that. Its total revenues and yes that a difference. Only the percentage is off and its about 35%. Could aswell have been a typo.

But LA license fees kick in after the investment have been turned in. In other words the whole argument about LAs share you brought as counter is flawed from the very start because, there simply is no share they have pay to LA for the whole matter you are argueing about = making the money back.

'Seamless world' - A world lacking visible or phys. seams, forming forced breaking points during transition and movement;
'Favourite game' - The game someone prefers the most of all;

Learn the difference.

Fact that Tera feel more like a mmorpg than single player game with co-op mode? Or that Tera have end game? or that Tera has better grahpics?

Lol so random people going on to try the game counts the same as some one who plays and pay a sub monthly? F2P game will always attract people who want to test it out becaue its free, by not means do most of them even stay, you can't count them because they will put no money in to the game period. You can have 10 million people playing but if all of them only testing out the game it means jack shit.
