question is how many subscriptions have they lost since that release?

At least they are actually acknowledging the game exists and trying to sell more copies.

Spoken with truth and conviction. +1 for you.

Yeah, and 'Titanic' is the top box office movie of all time... it's still a pile of shit.

Calbiyum · 05-28-2008, 08:48 PM

It's name sold it and remember launch day everyone (including myself) loved it. If you look at what Xede said than yea that is probably up there with DoF cancellations.

...and that just makes the current situation so much sadder. If we assume the ratio of (those who keep current on expansion) vs. (those who don't) has remained relatively stable since launch, then shouldn't RoK coincide with a new post launch peak in population? The fact that this expansion is probably 1st or 2nd in terms of attrition should make players weep over the wasted potential.

Best selling "EQ2 Expansion" is not really saying much tbh.
