I'm not sure what people stopping their subs has to do with the box price. They already paid for it. If they come back, they don't have to pay for it again. Carbine's first order of business should be addressing player concerns.

That gets into everyone else's good point, that if they're going to go on a new member blitz, they'd better fix the stuff everyone's complaining about first. It's no secret that most of the people left not because of gameplay, but a few ancillary systems and exploits. For instance, PVP was almost ruined by their reward system and people tanking their rating once they had 1800 gear to get around being paired against their competition (and to make money). The RNG on stats as well as drops made most people feel mid-range endgame PVE was going to be a long, slow slog through attunement and, with only raiding left, people are waiting for more small-group endgame. Recently, Carbine pushed back their next content drop to do a major unified systems/bug improvement. If that proves popular, I can see them introducing a sale and/or huge marketing blitz. Until then, it may be tilting at windmills.

Danke. I apologize for the confusion.

Reading a difficult thing for you? Point on the dollie where I said anything about people leaving because they suck... or where I said anything about people sucking, or leaving, at all..

Do you see it? Because anyone who reads certainly can't. I pointed out that we aren't ignorant to the MMO genre, and what it entails. I also noted most of the crying about gear comes from folks paying heed to the min/maxing crowd, rather than actual gameplay and mechanics. I never said anything about 'people sucking' or being 'not good enough'.

I thought they said that the high end of the server capacities, was something like... 16K players. Now, low could be 5K for all we know, but that doesn't mean 5k people are actually playing. I love this game to bits, and I am far from being a "white night" and all that, but really... have to stop kidding ourselves; people *are* leaving in droves, and this game, unfortunately, has very little staying power.

Nah, suckers are born every minute. NCSoft still hasn't been paid yet. Server xfers are still $20 lol.. they're going to keep milking it. As they should! I would do the same if my empire was crumbling.

I'm guessing you're being sarcastic...it's hard to tell on the forums, anymore. They did give the server capacity numbers, back at headstart, when people were bitching about the queue times. No, I'm not going to go look up the post for you.
