EQ2 Population Percents

Tyirul · 03-09-2008, 02:30 PM

Okay, from a recent thread on the board I read there are 200,000 or so Subscriptions to EQ2 ATM. Approximately, 5% are raiding. Not even a percent is clearing Avatars.

The other 95%? I'm guessing 30% Alt Accts. 30-40% Bots. The rest are just the casual players. Anyone have any guesses? Perhaps Facts?

200,000 is probably an overstatement tbh~

Aye, i'm trying to be generous as some of us are just too lazy or hesitant to cancel acct's. Which leads to another Catergory of MIA perhaps?

The main reason is that if SoE could go eh , A year without sucking dick. Someone would hear about it and actually want to play the game. Even If SoE could stop sucking dick it will still be 3 years before the future 12-15 year old crouds parents will buy a computer that will run the game well enough to make it look as shitty as WoW looks.

Now SoE would actually have to publicize the game. Come out with commercials or fuck, come out with something to let people know that people still play this fucking game and give them the false sense that SoE doesn't suck dick. Sony mother company is still butthurt about the PS3 failing why waste money on a commercial. They will just go suck more dick.

I hope that i have lowered your IQ by at least 12 points.

Where did u get your percentage stats from?

osibia · 03-10-2008, 07:14 AM

if one would count the actual numbre of players (i.e. only the ones with atleast 2 hours per day online everyday) and only count one account per person no matter how many accs they have the resulting numbre would msot likely be very low.

In a few months it will be alot less.

Age of Conan will probably sweep in and steal 15-25% of EQ2's Subscribers.

wow ignorance really must be bliss, 30-40% Bots? really maybe 10% MAX and thats being generous. i say this baseing this on total active subscriptions. do take into account that 200,000 subscriptuions you may have 150,000 of those being played more then once a month. i tink 15,000 bots is an overstatment, mainly due to the fact bots are banned within a week and are normally logged in until their baned, certain bot groups might last a week maybe.

now age of conan? doubtfull, big time, i doubt 15-25% will even BUY that game, and if they do most still will play eq2, sounds like another doomsday scare. just like vanguard.

beleive it or not MOST players are happy with eq2, but the most vocal of them are not namly that 5% because the raid game sucks massive whale cock atm, now i could see maybe 15-25% of RAIDERS going to age of conan, but hey their raiders, their bound to be pissed off sooner or later.

Camphor your a retard. Bots barely ever get banned. Half the people I know on EQ2 have or still do run bots. Family members of mine run bots. Sony doesn't give a fuck about Bots. Don't be fooled by their bullshit.

If you go to Other Video Games there's a poll there where about 50+ people voted on where they will be at the end of the year. 8 People last I checked said EQ2. Your ideas and hopes are silly. Hell 12 individuals last I saw said they would be in AoC.

Most people are NOT happy with the game. Just the few you talk to. Get your head out your ass. That's why I can go on to any random server make a character, and bitch about how much EQ2 sucks and only two dickheads like you will say go to WoW, the rest will simply agree or joke with me.

Most of the casual people i've talked to said the ONLY reason they play EQ2 is because it's simply a better made game. If and when something that looks as good comes out, they'll be GONE.

Stop being a jackass.

i dont think Age of Conan will be a fad or another Vanguard (game with lots of hype but so broken and bug infested).

The reason i think eq2 will loose alot of customers is alot of the community arent overwhelmed with joy with the current state of the game. Also the flaw with Vanguard was that SoE pressured the devs to launch it way before the game was playable.

Hopefully AoC devs will continue with what ive seen or heard and not follow the SoE's path of pushing half finished expansions and patches. If anyone doesnt belive SoE does that just recall EQ1 -GoD, OoW and EQ2's DoF, RoK just to name a few.
