General Discussion

Mythic Entertainment has recently published their "State of the Game" report.  In it they cover various topics including the Microsoft lawsuit, stopping cheaters, RvR changes and much more.  One of the things that stood out from the announcement was their claim that they have seen a 5% growth in subscribers in the past year.  Great job!  Here is an excerpt from the report:

Our paid monthly subscriber base (as readers of my statements here and elsewhere know, we do not hide our subscriber count nor do we use "marketing-speak" to make things look better than they are in reality) in the US is, as of today, 5% higher than it was last year at this same time and Europe the growth is even higher. Not bad at all for a three-year old game that nobody thought would succeed eh?

I was almost certain this article was going to be about the subscription prices going up!

More interesting is what Mythic is trying to do to even mismatched realms for RvR.

The problem with team based PvP is you won't know anything about your team until you spent 6 months leveling your character. Then it's rather disappointing to learn that your out numbered 30:1 or you outnumber them 30:1.

this is easy to check before you ever join there server.. Just go to the Camelot Herald and check the state of the realm. You will see who owns what and trust me if 1 realm ever outnumbers all the rest 30:1 then they will own everything. If all the lands are fairly equal then thats a good server to join.

The problem with that theory is why would someone that just bought the box vist the web site and check the sever maps before logging in to play?

I don't think I knew those maps existed until after I level 20, and even then I didn't really know what they meant.

In general I think the character creation process should suggest to you a realm.  We'll see how the new system works, but I think it won't change much.

I'm not starting over now somewhere with so much invested into my current charaters. Added rewards, won't help new players select a under-populated realm.

Yeah Mythic (Money making Factory), great job :(

The only problem is, that the reason  for this much accounts is that most of the classes need a BUFFBOT to have a chance in pvp. But I hope payday will be soon. For every player left, Mythic will lost 2 accounts.

(sorry for my bad english)

Don't worry Mythic won't be announcing any kind of "rise" in subscriptions by the end if this year..

They'll be losing about 50% of their players..

WoW and EQ2 will destroy Mythics player base along with al lthe other newer lesser known MMO's..
