Over 1 000 000 box sales. Over 75% percent retention with expanding sales into the near future so that by summer 2010, over 2 000 000 will be playing and paying.

Then they'll open servers in China and hit 5 000 000 by 2012.

India by 2014 and 10 000 000 customers with 250 servers worldwide.

Living the Dream! ;)

 

Chewing the mushrooms.

Cmon guys this is Star Trek we're talking about.

I'm gonna guess 1 million sold, and 400-600k retention after 1 month.

Well, I think STO will fail as an MMO, but not as a Star Trek game. It will be fun for the average non-OMGSTARTREK players for about a month or so, and then just the hardcore trekkie fanboys will be left.

Plus, I'm highly doubting they will sell 1mil copies. I think the game has already been a disappointment to many fans, and also I know a lot have jumped ship over to SW:TOR.

Obviously, I'm just speculating and am known to be wrong. Just my predictions :p

I think 600k box sales is too high. More like 450-500k, then after 3 months the only ones left will be the trekkies and a couple casuals who log on once or twice a week. 

Sure hope not, but there is a 99% that will be the case.

What do you guys think?

I guess I might be interested in Heroes of Telara. It looks alright, just not really sure on the company and the current state of the game.

Title says it all.

Personally, I like the look of SW:TOR as long as they don't make it too much of a single player game which i'm sure they probably will. I am also interested in FF14, even though I never played FF11. If all else fails, I will be looking forward to a sandbox like Mortal Online, or maybe I'll just have to settle for console games this year like in 2009 =\

 Oprah's Book Club

Guild History:

The original guild (Virginity Now) formed back in 1995 as an alliance between two neighbors in Upstate New York, who sought to play text based MUD's. However, once DAoC came out the young guild switched over. In DAoC we had some great success, but we lacked name recognition, a problem that would plague us for years to come.

Once EverQuest hit the shelves, the leadership was quick to jump boats, establishing Virginity Now, as a minor but influential group of players in the game, not everyone switched to EverQuest though. Some of the leadership stayed behind, and eventually splintered off into Peacetime, a guild we would eventually merge with in 2005. However that's a different story.

Having found success, in both EQ and EQII, we eventually grew tired of those games and on it's release day we joined WoW. Where we had a rocky start, eventually causing us to merge with our old friends at Peace Time. Reunited at last, we renamed ourselves Oprah's Book Club and also entered in to a new period of prosperity, in both WoW, and later on WAR. It has not been an easy journey, but it is one we hope to continue into HoT, with new and old members alike. 

Mission Statement
Our mission is to have success in both the pve and pvp aspects of HoT. We plan on being in the forefront and have great success in anything we decide to do. We will be a strong guild. People will respect you when they see the guild tag under our name.

Expectations
We expect people to be mature. We do not have any age limitations, but if we see people acting immaturely they will be promptly asked to leave. We also expect people to be active. Although we do realize that people have families, jobs, or schooling and cannot play too many hours a week. We just ask that when you do play, you bring your A-game but most importantly, always have fun. We prefer if members have Ventrillo installed, but mics are not required. This will greatly help our communication allowing for more success. WARNING: There are no limitations on guild chat and vent, so if you do not like hearing/reading the occasional profanity, do not complain. Also, do not apply if you do not have a sense of humor.

Vent channel coming soon!
