General Discussion « Star Wars Galaxies 5/31/06 11:10:06 AM Originally posted by fgetce *Originally posted by ebenholt* Out of the 1 million boxes sold at that time I bet a lot of those 700k people that didn’t continue playing never had tried a MMO before so sure they wanted a “Star Warsy” experience. SOE isn’t wrong in that aspect. Star Wars Galaxies never had 1 million subscribers. They had at its peak 300,000 subscribers. That statement about 1 million units sold is including the original boxed set, JTL and ROTW and the Total Experience combined. Plus alot of people bought the original box set, than bought JTL and added it to their current account and than bought the Total Experience and added it to their current account to get the BARC speeder, right there are three box sets but only 1 subscriber account. Plus there are some people who got banned for exploits, cheating, ebaying, etc. and had to buy a new box set and start up a new account. All in all, SOE had about 300,000 subscribers at this games peak. As of now it is less than 100,000 (don't know the exact number). And don't bother with MMORPGCHART.com that guy is just a guy, like you or me, with a site. He does not have any deep throats spilling their guts about their companys to him. He simply guesses when there isn't any official word from these gaming companies. Only once has SOE spouted about their SWG when it broke 300,000 and he posted it on his chart. Since than they have never announced their subscriber numbers, and now he is just guessing (and a very poor guess it is). They did anounce they sold 1 milion units, but like I said that number means nothing. I was told that it also included gamecards.
