WAR (Warhammer Online)

http://parksassociates.blogspot.com/2008/09/warhammer-approaching-400000.html

So that's potentially 600k who are playing WAR atm....

And I can safely say i'll never re-sub to WoW... WAR is just FAR superior to it... in every way apart from polish (which it'll be eventually) and GOA's customer service...

If WotLK is as bad as it looks, then WAR is going to be the new WoW.

So Warhammers 400 thousand subscribers are equal to WoW's six million subscribers. Can I have some of what you're having?

HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAH.........HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH

sorry couldnt help myself

LoL

WoW only has around 2.5 million NA subscribers actually. But yeah his point still doesn't make sense.

agreed, this post really doesn't make much sense.

Us Euro's are still here too and that number of 400k includes Euro's, so you can basically double WoW 's number there before it can even be used in a comparison :)

not sure what basis in reality the quoted has; but, blizzard does have a LOT of information centrally and easily located for wow players.

mythic doesn't give enough a crap about their customers to do the same.

the number of frustrated players will continue to grow and soon.... war will be the new daoc.

wow honestly has nothing to worry about.

Many people get distraught over numbers,but i might mention the obvious.You can have 100 million subs ,they won't all be on your server EVER.Most games carry around 5k a server,and it can fluctuate of course depending on time of day or what day it is.

From my experience a game ONLY gets frustrating when the populace falls below 1500 at any given time.I have played when there is like 1300 on several occasions but you can notice the difference.Then you have to take into consideration a VERY big factor>>>.where do you fall into the majority of the active populace?For example FFXI the majority are end gamers level 75,even if the server had 2500 it could very well feel dead to a noob.I found this to even be true IN WOW on a full server,re rolling a new player in noob zones,it was extremely dead.Same goes for most  older games.

The over all subscriptions a game has means NOTHING,it only tells how much cash the developer is making,it will have ZERO bearing on your individual server or populace.Sometimes games are slow to make changes ..example EQ2,there populace dies a little there servers still squander around 800-1000,that is horrible and they need to suck it up and merge servers.I remember the negative side of a full server as well,taking an hour to form a great party only to find out all the leveling zones are over camped,so really through experience i have found it takes a nice medium and a great community that makes for a perfect gaming experience.

400k subscribers and the game JUST launched? Who cares.. AoC had that many and look how that turned out.
