Exactly.. plus..

     SOE claims they sold well over 1 million copies of the game..  Hmmm If you are selling over a million in the first year and can only peak at 250,000 customers, what is that saying?   It's saying people are leaving as fast as they are comming.( ALL before NGE too) . Like I've said before.. SOE manipulated ALL their numbers to show the public more then what was acctually there..

     SOE are just being sore sports because they screwed up and need to blaim someone.. anyone.. Instead of excepting responsibilty they made a sh*tty game, period.. plain and simple..

You forget that there are tons of collectors out there that buy star wars products just to own them. Its possible for SWG to have sold millions without actually having an equivelant subscriber number, since collectors will just buy the product, not use it.

The highest report we got was 450k active subs some time after launch. At the time it was a huge number.

It's obviously fake and Smedley would never say Pissed me off and he never speaks like that in the interview.

most people owned more than one account and some people owned like 10

I myself have 5 or 6 copies and two accounts, I bought so many copies cause I wanted those special items.

What do you expect thier a bunch of lemmings, fanboys that will eat up anything Bioware or LEC tells them.    90% of those posters have already made up thier minds; SWTOR is going to be the best game ever, laughable since its still a project in developement.    Thier going to crash and burn harder than the AOC and Darkfall fanboys, when this game releases in 2010 or 2011.    

If I where SOE I would change name and fire 50 % or more of the employees then they might have a chance to get some supporters for their games back. As it looks now I trust a troll more than SOE.

And the fan base didn't betray SOE. We left out of loyalty to SOE!

 

"I mean who wants be Owen Lars when they can be Luke Skywalker."

Subtract from the number of peak subscriptions, the number of current subscriptions. That's who.

 

 

 

Exactly...for me the best thing about that game was the fact that I COULD be Owen Lars if I wanted to. The freedom to choose how much you participated in the Galactic Civil War or how much NOT to participate. The freedom to change your skills at any time and be whatever you wanted to be. Those are the things that drove me to the game...Once they were gone, so was I. And the SOE suing Lucas Arts is all BS...they are threatened and they know they are not going to be around much longer. A desperate act by a desperate company.

When I read "They partnered with us for all their MMO needs and we delivered." and "We have many successful MMO's." I started laughing and stopped reading.

The line that clued me in to the bogusness wasn't even about SWG:

"...game mega publisher Electronic Arts, that got started with its branded series of sports games..."

Uh, Deluxe Paint I anybody?  I believe that was the first we heard of EA (on the Amiga no less), when Bill Gates was still telling us that nobody would ever need more than 512K RAM and graphics were for children, and the Mac was producing it's first little black and white machines.  And Deluxe Paint/Deluxe Video and other Amiga titles started EA on it's path to mega-dom...once Gates decided that people did, indeed, want graphics and gave EA the popular platform to really go forward.
