Oh and you can compare the charts which is pretty obvious:

1. wasn't instant
2. takes time for discount long-term subs to go inactive

Me, I had the SOE all access thing, I didn't officially unsub until SWG:NGE was released about that time, though didn't go to WoW :P

So both wow west and eq peeked at around ~600,000, ~500,000 respectively, I think were looking at more than market forces.

I think were also seeing a look at the actual life expectancy of an MMO and lifecycle. More obvious with the big subscription MMOs.

Personally I would discount the global wow #'s when comparing to EQ because... well chinese, and accurate reporting lol...... (wow east... )

GoD was the pinnacle of EQ. It was all down hill in challenge and poopsock from there.

GoD was a hardcore raid expac. If you view it through that lens, its probably good if you are into that sort of thing.
