How do you figure aggressive to PoP?? That's a really odd comment, bro.
The increase in subs abruptly stops while all the pre-luclin hype is cast into the machine from SOE - just months before it's release.

You aren't reading the graph the same way.

I'm taking into account re-subs and returns. Its open to interpretation.

No doubt. Age of Conan had an impressive rise and crash in a matter of months.

I'd love to see TESO and SWTOR.

Good news, I just got off the phone with my mom she said that Luclin is for sure coming to P99.

I'm reading it vertically.

I'm reading it diagonally.

Ahh yeah I can see how that would change things with a little tilt to the graph. Marvelous idea! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

But seriously though, I'm being objective here, it's not a good point with the release. Such a release should have spurred continued growth, regardless of the name of the game, but it didn't. There was a paradigm shift there that effected growth. You could apply it to any other game and come to the same conclusion. I've seen this happen to a number of games.

I held on through it, up until just after the platinum box release. I got into the emu when it was nearly unplayable pre-alpha just a little after platinum box release.

I see another pattern in daywolfs linked chart. around 2003 - 2005 saw the launch of other know which really drove competetion hard and that competition rly accounts for the majority of lost subscribers.

sol + expansions didn't drive away share nearly as much as alternatives which catered to different themes and plays style, not to mention shinier pixel shading

[maerilith]

In fact it chart shows eq was able to maintain good consistent momentum in a heavily fluctuating and highly competitive market

sorry I don't have big econ words, just plebe swype to try n explain.

but u will see it if u haven't already

we aren't judjing eq itself when u look at a chart like that and u can't pretend the market forces aren't there

Can we vote where to send specific people?

Already downloaded and started on p2002, but dislike the lack of scroll wheel and forced windowed mode, hope TAKP has mouse scroll and full screen mode. Either way, started there because I miss the superior Luclin models, but still keep a home here for the "classic" feel.
