 A paltry one million subs? What are you smoking? One million subs is a huge number compared to most MMOs out there. If you would compare it to WoW then I would suggest that look up what an outlier is. WoW is not indicative of the average MMO. In fact, it's subscriber base is so incogruous with that of most MMOs that it is quite likely in that catagory where it's number is thrown out when determining the average (outlier).

Yet, console games can sell through a million, 5 million, etc...Yes, single player games..but MMO's are making headway.

WoW has proven this is not a niche market. WAR sold 1.2 million boxes according to their charts, AoC 800k boxes (note, I am not saying SUBS...thanks)...YET

They cannot retain that number....why?

Quality is key.

I will agree that someone said Darkfall has been in production so long that maybe it WILL be good. But, so far, they have so much they wish the game to do, and over promising seems to be the norm for MOST games.

Like I said, when I see an MMO keep a million, then I will believe it is worth a crap.

Darkfall will not be that game.

A good MMO is one with the highest population...?

thats a load of bull

Ill believe this game releases when it actually releases. Nuff said!

No, an MMO that wont shut it's doors (Hellgate, Auto Assault), or have population issues (AoC, LOTRO, Vanguard, TR) will have a million players or more.

It at least will tell me that the game must be worth playing if so many others play it.

11 million have not been wrong so far.

They have been testing this game with paid betatesters for years. So they only have to do stress testing and give people a chance to test the game for free so they can say if they like it or not.

So everything shows that they are pretty much ready for a launch in December.

     I dont know why but everything about this game feels shaky to me.........The only way I woul ever even give this game a look is if they have a open beta for the public....If they are going to pull the "oh join such and such website for $$ and you can play our beta" then I have no interest.........I cant quite put my finger on it but I have a bad feeling about this game.

They promised everyone would get a chance to play the game for free before they had to buy it.

LotrO doesn't have population issues... Just because an MMO has less than 1 mill subs doesn't mean it has issues. You are a stupid sheep that can only like something when others like it.

Do you really want to play the same game forever? do you want everyone to keep copying EQ?

Why can't you give MMOs that actually try to be innovative a chance?
