En Masse Entertainment has announced some pretty impressive numbers since TERA's free to play transition last month. According to EME, over 1M users take part in TERA: Rising and the concurrent user number has risen dramatically.

“We’ve been blown away by the waves of players logging into TERA, and we’re seeing amazing growth in both registrations and daily users. It’s always great to eclipse the one-million-player mark, and at our current rate, it won’t be long before we hit two million,” said Chris Lee, CEO of En Masse Entertainment. “This success is pushing En Masse even harder to deliver more content and improve our service, so stay tuned!”

Don't think they will they are more likely to open more than get new one..

I don't mind them opening more and offer free char xfer and maybe linked AH..

They've opened two new servers since going Free to Play.  Population seems to be pretty even accross all of them now.  There's nothing wrong with Mt. Tyranus, it's just the most populated server and gets hit too hard during prime time.  I transfered off of it and the new server is shaping up nicely.  Plus it's neat to have new Vanarchs and new guilds along with the influx of tons of new players.

Now why wasn't this game launched as such.. I hope ESO don't make this mistake also because no matter how much content you offer its never enough and quite a few mmo players nowadays treat mmo like other genre title, once they reach the end the mentality set in that the game is no longer worth the effort..

Is F2P or freemium lots of people play but dont spent money on it, and they have 1 mill of player who had loged into the game that doesnt meant that they are still playing or spending money on the game.  

And TESO will be P2P and it wont be a mistake.

 Well with those kind of numbers all they need is for one out of ten to spend a few dollars and they are still doing as well as they did when it was p2p......Like most MMOs now, I think people have an eye on it when its p2p but dont touch it until it goes f2p.

I dare say it's higher. There are people like me, who are indecisive and prone to acting on whims.

"I want to change to x race because of how this particular armour looks on that race." (the same piece of armour looks 100% different on every combination of gender+race)

"Screw it, I want my dye to look a certain way and it'll have unlimited duration. I'll buy some. It'll give me the whole palette."

Bought it at release, installed it, played 2 hours, uninstalled. No way I'm wasting one more second of my life grinding these brain dead quests.

I don't care how awesome graphics, combat and community are, I will never EVER play another quest grinder.

Many things can be said of your game(s) of choice (right in your sig too). Everyone picks whatever tickles their fancy.

Good for you (no sarcasm).

Talk to us in 6 months.

Every single Subscription game that has gone freemium saw massive jumps in player numbers during that time...how many of them retained even a portion of those players? Not one. Heck I remember Age of Conan claiming 600k new accounts created in the first month it made its change yet look at the offical forums, people complaining about how the servers are near dead again, promting yet another change to their offereing from Funcom thinking somehow a new Freemium offering is going to make a difference.

Freemium is not the cash cow, actual F2P is the cash cow...hell, at least go DDOs route, its about as close as you are going to get revenue wise to real F2P.

Congradulations, EME!

You deserve it :)
