I'm just curious to see what you folks think about this...obviously the more people playing, the better the chances of VG becoming more polished and stable.  Of course other problems arise with more people, but I'm not really concerned with addressing them.  So what do you all think?

Simple. The answer is never.  This is a niche game and will appeal to some but not a majority. The bad press this game has gotten upon it's release will also scare a lot of people away.

Hopefully, it will be profitable.  The more games that hit Woody's "Game Zapper" the worse off we ALL are.

 

Never be afraid of choices. More choices are always good things.

Sick of the crap on the radio? Try ETN.fm or party107.com

Its not a niche game.  Who would you think it would be a niche for?  Hardcore people?  Its not hard to solo.  Players that only want to fight?  What about the crafting system or diplomacy?  People that only want to craft?  Sure why not, you don't have to fight. 

As far as I'm concerned, you don't have a clue what the game is about Balisidar.  You haven't played, all you do is flame.

Show me the bad press please.  I'm dying to read it.  What i have seen is fair reviews or totally biased reviews.

Thanks :)

Please guys (and girls), try to keep it aboveboard as much as possible. I really want to see the results of this poll. :)

I think he's right it's a very niche game.... most people wont stand to play a game will sooo many faults and bugs + the graphics are very generic and none of my friends think it looks good. The mediocre reviews also wont help it and theres no attension on the game or any adverts....

I say the game will max out at 100k subs and if things don't improve it'll drop down to 50k and SOE will stop funding like Planetside.

All the flames & hate have been said about every MMO release to date to varying degrees. VG may not be for everyone, but once the big bugs are fixed it will hold steady numbers of the people who want something like VG, lets face it there are no new options coming for them. First VG expansion will probably pick up alot of numbers after people have had a chance to be underwhelmed by a few week's bland uninspired gameplay wrapped in a shiny cover from upcoming alternatives.

The question isnt who is going to let me; its who is going to stop me.

This must be the most ironic poll I have seen in a while
Good job!

Life''s a bitch because if she was a whore she would be too easy.

Well i have voted that it may reach that many subs after more than a year.
Reason for that is that i believe it made a lukewarm impression at it's start and the fame it has in general has many contrasts since most people either tell the worst about it or the best. So in my opinion i doubt new subscribers will come flocking since they most likely wait till the game settles to either good for playing or not good for playing.
And let's face it so far just by reading most forum there is not a definite impression of how the game actually plays.
Some say you can solo, some say you can't. Others say it has too many bugs, others say that's not the case.
So really unless there is  a definite r
