Yeah, I don't know the numbers either, to be honest. Aemon Send a noteboard - 17/06/2010 09:35:21 PM
You might well be correct. Apparently though, whatever numbers the companies have indicate that an MMO is a good idea. Keep in mind that an MMO doesn't have to have very many subscribers to make money, and it's not just WoW that's making / has made money. Eve Online has a couple hundred thousand subscribers, and does well. Warhammer supposedly had close to a million subscribers at one point. Compared to the overall market, a few hundred thousand subscribers isn't a huge segment, and with just 100,000 subscribers, you're pulling in a million and a half per month. It's easy to see why MMOs are attractive.

Holy crap. *NM* ironclad - 14/06/2010 10:46:48 PM 347 Views
For sure. Aemon - 15/06/2010 03:14:57 AM 625 Views
Hilarious! And true, sadly. *NM* Sir Tybalt - 16/06/2010 01:26:14 PM 341 Views
Well, the cinematic element is certainly very nice. Now to actually see some gameplay and features. TaskmasterJack - 14/06/2010 10:56:50 PM 706 Views
Yeah, the comments were all "force barrier" this, and "power draining" that. *NM* Aemon - 15/06/2010 03:14:18 AM 629 Views
some new gameplay stuff here Deadsy - 16/06/2010 09:38:10 AM 752 Views
I think this could be great...but... Wibble - 15/06/2010 09:14:55 PM 712 Views
I remember them at least partially addressing that. Aemon - 15/06/2010 09:30:33 PM 617 Views

Their solution is to make the other classes bad ass and level the playing field. lord-of-shadow - 16/06/2010 09:28:14 PM 619 Views
And I don't see why they can't level the playing field to some extent. Aemon - 16/06/2010 09:50:54 PM 648 Views
But I want to play as an R2 unit. *NM* grogg0316 - 17/06/2010 01:33:07 PM 323 Views
I want to play as a non-Jedi or Sith force user. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 18/06/2010 09:55:56 PM 836 Views
That would be an interesting twist. Maybe play as a Witch of Dathomir, or some other variation. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 18/06/2010 11:43:28 PM 312 Views
Nerd. *NM* Aemon - 19/06/2010 04:19:25 AM 312 Views
How much of that will I actually be able to do though? grogg0316 - 15/06/2010 09:30:20 PM 649 Views
Heh, probably not. That's why I said the trailer didn't really have any game info. Just cool is all. Aemon - 15/06/2010 09:31:05 PM 567 Views
My fantasy hasn't changed for a true Star Wars game. grogg0316 - 15/06/2010 10:10:14 PM 606 Views
you do get a ship, but Deadsy - 16/06/2010 09:36:01 AM 732 Views

Hey, poking rats is fun sometimes! (Morrowind!) *NM* Sir Tybalt - 16/06/2010 01:29:27 PM 314 Views
By the way, was I the only one thinking "HADOUKEN!" ?? *NM* TaskmasterJack - 15/06/2010 11:09:06 PM 331 Views
Speechless awe and wonder Sir Tybalt - 16/06/2010 01:25:41 PM 648 Views
Don't buy into that republic propaganda. *NM* jh - 16/06/2010 10:24:10 PM 312 Views
Looks great, but I despise MMOs. Such a waste of time and money, and at the cost of sp titles... Zalis - 17/06/2010 02:52:32 PM 564 Views
You can look at that two ways. Aemon - 17/06/2010 06:48:47 PM 654 Views
So many MMOs struggle, though, and there's there's always WoW's market domination to compete with... Zalis - 17/06/2010 08:46:06 PM 611 Views
Yeah, I don't know the numbers either, to be honest. Aemon - 17/06/2010 09:35:21 PM 694 Views
Shinkuu Hadouken. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 18/06/2010 09:53:19 PM 834 Views
