I'm excited for 2.0. but somehow I expected the fourm to be flooded with others excited like me... There is no hype though...

That's a good way to look at it. If the game is really good the population should build over time instead of starting with a huge population that dwindles.

This is true, SE dose need to prove that the "caterpillar can turn into a butterfly"... however what i thing is happening is. That SE is trying to make 110% sure that the result is a butterfly, before showing it of. With all honesty I think that SE will keep things low profile (as is) until short weeks before full launch.

Blasphemy!

I guess I just don't understand the secrecy. There is no one in the space who actually considers this game a threat, much less a peer. They should be launching information left and right with both barrels because if the secrecy is for business protection of some kind, they needn't bother. It's not like keeping everything secret the first time worked out so well for them.

EA and Bioware acknowledged SWTOR had under 1m subs a month or two ago (though they tried to keep the number "a secret"), in addition to upcoming (or already happened) server merge and potential Mega-server merge (they are "testing the technology") with F2P conversion.

GW2 sold over 2m+ copies, but it doesn't have a sub and depends on a cash shop for recurring income. They also boasted that they will deliver large scale content update for free, as big as other MMO expansions. It's very early to say anything about its future, but almost every promising promises promised by MMO devs lately (monthly content update for The Secret World, double effort to update content for TERA etc.) aren't that promising consider all they did were laying off and more laying off.

Nor EA or Bioware has acknowledge that SWOTOR has under one million subscriptions, they have whoever said that they did loose 400K players, from 1.7 to 1.3 Million subscribers, or at atleast i have not been able to find a link or any type of information on the subject, so if you can provide a link to said information, that would be great :)

As for GW2 you do know it's been out what a month and a half ? So it boasted that it would deliver large scale content.... Yet it's been a month after release... yeah they are in trouble <.<

I am not a GW2 fanboy, just hit 80 yesterday, and i been playing since pre-release, but it is a good game, that has in my opinion the same problem that FFXIV and Swotor have, and that everbody overlooks Endgame Content :) From lvl 1-80, there are tons and tons of stuff to do, once you hit 80, you do dungeons, or pvp, or w/e. But there have been no major raids out as of yet, again it's been out a month, tho PVP was done the right way :) Hopefully Yoshida will copy it.

Just from reading the forums over at SWTOR a month or two ago, their subscribers were down to give or take 700,000 subs. That was apparently a generous estimate. The days of being massively successful with a monthly sub model are long gone. There's too many games on the market, and not enough diversity or interest. FFXI and WoW came in at a time with hardly any competition, established a community and has retained and addicted many. These people try out other games but always go back to their initial mmo.

As bad as things like EQ and FFXI were with their end game content in terms of horrid drop rates, massive organization, it kept people around. Even now, as solo friendly as XI has become, there's still tons of groups doing things together to accomplish them faster. I've tried SWTOR, LOTRO and other mmo's in between, and there community seems non existent cause you don't need to rely on anyone for a long period of time. Things get done too fast. I know the modern argument is "but I don't have time for hardcore and time wasting events, I'm casual!", but MMO's thrive on people's addiction and wasting ridiculous amounts of time.

XIV needs some time wasting events and accept the fact that it can be a niche MMO for a couple hundred thousand players +. You make stuff casual like SWTOR, you get huge box sales, and good initial boost, then everyone leaves cause they've done everything. Especially hardcore players who invest ridiculous amounts of time towards MMO, they blow through content, unsub and never come back.

I know that sites not 100% accurate, but just look at the server mergers that have happened (twice in the last 4 months), you know the populations have dwindled down. That 1.3 million was the first population report way back in march or so, then in june or july they released another quarterly statement saying that had lost another 400-500k players.

Focus on the journey, and not the destination. I quit FFXI because it became all about the destination.

The most fun I've had in XI was getting to that Sky, unlocking the Sea, figuring out Nyzul Isle and exploring Alzadaal Ruins.

I never have had fun in XI endgame or the playerbase associated with it. Endgame should be plentiful, yes, but it shouldn't be a rush to get there, either.

They have confirmed level sync and level sync cappeddungeons, I'm really looking forward to the low-mid level capped content that would still be a challenge for me given that I can't use the potential of my 7 level 50 jobs and breeze through it.

It is doing fine, it is making money, just not as much its rabbid fans are trying to make out it to be. GW2 could be more comparable to Diablo 3, Torchlight 2 or Borderlands 2, all three of which will do/already has done a lot better in term of profitability or revenue (original BL 1 sold 5m copies, D3 already sold 8m+ copies, TL 2 is made by a very small team and enjoy a rather big success). More ppl stop playing GW2 means there will be also less people buying GW2, because they would be buying and playing whatever other people doing at that time (BL2 and TL2). Again what most people forget is that precisely the no subscription model is GW2 main weakness, as the sales will be what make them money and majority of sales is usually at launch. GW2 vs RIFT, I would say RIFT is a lot more profitable than GW2 even though RIFT has half of GW2 sales (and RIFT is a lot more profitable than SWTOR if we believe the $200m development cost of SWTOR vs $50m development cost of RIFT).

And I really really lol at all the GW2 fans attitude toward the other NCsoft MMO (BnS), that GW2 would kill BnS. No way NCsoft would allow that to happen.

Trust me: you're better off not seeing the dev. team's private videos.
