WAR (Warhammer Online)

It is monday again and as I promissed last Thursday, when the fanboisquad was flaming me from right and left because of the xfire numbers I posted, I said I would rather come back this Monday to have another look on the negative trend as the trend would be clearer with another week under the belt.

As you can see WAR is still dropping in popularity and if you compare WAR gamingtime Monday the 13th of Oct to Sep 29th you see there is about a -27% reduction in gamingtime and -35% reduction in gaming population.I don't know about you but I think it could get much worse by the end of the week when free sub start to run out. Lets have a poll so that we can form a consensus on why WAR has such a rapid popularity drop.

Players don't play as much on Mondays, this must mean that Warhammer is failing and Mythic is kaput!

As you can see WAR is still dropping in popularity and if you compare WAR gamingtime Monday the 13th of Oct to Sep 29th you see there is about a -40% reduction in gamingtime and about -35% reduction in gaming population.

Are you a full time AoC shill?  Cause I see you posting countless times over here just trying to tear the game down :)

A more accurate number would be down about 15k from the peak of 73k or around 20%.  So you are either trying to get a reaction by exagerating the numbers....

still playing my ass off as is everyone I know...I guess you fail at everything except being a shill huh?

He compared two seperate mondays to help make his point seem viable. DURR

But yeah, I doubt WAR is doing too bad though. I think most MMOs behave the same way, a lot of people playing a lot of hours at launch followed by a drop off in hours ingame.

I would wait at least a few months before using these kinds of stats.

I guess you didn't read the countless posts after what you posted last week about how XFire is about the least reliable form of survey you could take.  Coming from someone who is playing the game, not watching an arbitrary count of a small group of people that actually use XFire, I'm telling you that the game isn't shrinking by any means.  I'm on the smallest server, low pop on each side, and there are penty of people on.

With all these botched posts and surveys, I'd think you work for the republican camp.

Hmmm that's quite a severe drop off.

Of course, only the people who use x-fire, because they've ALWAYS PLAYED MULTIPLE GAMES, matter, right? The rest of us must not exist.

Remember, one in two people who rely on statistics are complete tools.

xfire represents xfire users who actually remember to turn the damn thing on, stop posting this crap already it means nothing except for the fact that people don't play 24 hrs a day.

Wow don't toss him into our camp.  I wouldn't even claim he was part of the democrat camp that would be to big an insult....

Xfire numbers are good data but you gotta interpret the data accurately.  Some people are just not able to look at the data and draw accurate conclusions this isn't because the data is bad just the knowledge of the person trying to interpret the data.
