The last report we had from Bioware on subscriptions was somewhere between 1m and 500k. That seems to be inline with the number of servers world wide.
When I played EVE they had 300k subscribers. During peak playing time somewhere between 30k and 35k were online. Taking then 15% as a peak population current online estimate that is easily covered by the number of servers present. |

I'm loving GW2 but will probably come back to this game to get my level 42 to 50 when its free to play and maybe more if they make the world feel more alive.

remember a statement just before the pre-release starts, that even with 500k subs the game is stil be in good and will stay for the years to come.. seeing f2p goes live guess that sub number is far below now |

Originally posted by Betaguy I sub to SWTOR and play GW2, GW2 is devouring most of my time.. With that said, I haven't subbed to WoW in almost two years, I tried cata and didn't care too much for it, the 25th will not effect either of my games of choice... I will NEVER go back to WoW as SWTOR and GW2 do it better for me. |

Originally posted by Betaguy Why the 25th? No subscription fee. Sure that some people will play through the game and eventually get bored but there is no financial reason why they should drop the game. GW1 sold tens of millions. No reason why GW2 won't. |

Originally posted by Ahnog I have a feeling the number is a lot closer to 500K than a million, but sure, that is a clear possibility. On the other hand we can be rather sure that the number is dropping fast enough for EA to already make it F2P so I would guess that the numbers are dropping pretty fast. 10-20%of all players online during primetime seems like reasonable numbers.

I will return at some point. It's a great title as a F2P game or even a $30 B2P game with a GW2 model.

Originally posted by Loke666 The 500k to 1 million range is pretty laughable. That's a huge margin of error. What's the next quarterly report going to be? Zero to 500k plus or minus 500 thousand? Also bear in mind that the last subscription count included the 6 month (many of which were inactive) subs. If only 10% of the 1.4 million preorders were 6 month subs, that's 140,000 subs that might have gone poof overnight. The pretty extensive player survey of concurrent populations: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=484899 puts average concurrent pop at about 30k. (Also an average full server is believed to be 3.638 players) Since GW2 has come out, the slow burn on SWTOR's pop has become more accelerated. There's the big dip in xfire numbers. Also tor status now lists the destination servers as follows:
North America: 4 standard servers 8 light servers.
Europe: 11 light servers
Asia-Pacific: 2 light servers 1 dead server Also worthy of note, Blizz's MoP comes out in 3 weeks.
So far Bioware has only released a few details of a 1.4 patch, but has not inclued a release date. I don't see sub numbers being very strong when SWTOR eventually goes Freemium. To be honest, I don't really see how any bump form the cash shop can really help much either. At this point, I think maintence mode is a valid question to be asking. The switch to Freemium means that EA no longer needs the dead albatross of quarterly sub number announcements around its neck; which in turn, from EA's perspective, will stop dragging its stock price down. Not that EA would especially want the bad press of shutting SWTOR down, but it might not even be possible depending on the terms of the IP license with EA. I know, speculation, speculation everywhere. Just noting which way the wind seems to be blowing.
