    Is 218k really all that much for the launch of an MMO?

    218k at the same time or 4360 people per server. Probably close to 2 million people have bought it or played it. It's not WoW, but it's pretty impressive for a game that was "dead on arrival" a few years ago.

    For the launch of a pay to play MMORPG yes, it's that much. We're talking about players online at the same time, not total players. If I had a dollar for every time someone doesn't get the difference...

    Of course there has to be a troll that tries (and fails badly) to spin good news as bad news.

    I get the difference, thanks... It just doesn't strike me as that many people.

    218k **concurrent** users is huge! That is how many people are on at the same time on all the servers. Not total players. That is an insanely high amount of people for any MMO.

    2.0 players have already been give 3 free days from what I can see, someone i know had 33 days after EA and putting in their 2.0 code.

    Seems 1.0 players got overlooked as I currently still only have 2 weeks, I assume because 1.0 players do not get into EA unless they preorder a second copy.

    I'm sure he's already at work on it Give the poor dude a break.

    I did translate the most relevant parts in the post the OP linked. The rest is mostly explanation on why they choose to act as they did. I'm also quite sure that we'll get an official translation of the whole post soon.

    I honestly feel they should not post until they have an official translation ready for us, and post them both at the same time, it is quite annoying that Japan get news well before we do.

    Er no.. it is not normal, american games do not have Japanese servers, and if they did I can be pretty certain they would translate first just like European games with multiple language servers translate their news.

    Such a ridiculous comparison.
