There is always lost subscriptions and new ones to take it's place. It seems like new subscriptions are more in favor than lost ones currently.

Game, set and match. We have actual data, and the actual data says the game is growing like gangbusters.

I didn't try this dungeon until 50 and it was still a tough one. That 1st boss is probably the most difficult of them all just keep at it you will down him.

Thanks for the positive help but god it feels sooo stressful when running that dungeon that its hard to have fun. I know it will feel nice when i finally down him but then whats the next place ill get stuck on and pissed off about? Im sure Wandering Palace and AK are just as tough as Aurum Vale.

Because the game was going to die back in Sept. 2010.

And ARR was never going to happen back in November 2012.

And Barack Obama was going to be a one-term president.

People don't like being proven wrong on the internet.

Its Obama's fault...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................joking

You also notice how in these troll threads, the OP never responds back. Just sits back and watches everyone get up in arms about the original post. We all fall for it every. single. time.

That does not prove anything currently. We do not know how many of those accounts are still being played to date, many of them could have purchased more game time, gotten bored and stopped playing; they still would have an active account. I may pay a monthly sub for example, however I play maybe 10 hrs a month since end game is currently lacking. I would be much more interested in seeing some stats on the amount of time players are playing the game and if so what activities they are doing.

Because more players want to play as DD than als Tank/Healer. Even if there would be 10k players each servers, if only 10% play as tank and 15% as healer, the DD have a long queue time.

Please do not try to bring logic on here , they will think you are trolling them.............
Anytime I see someone going NutZ over DF Que times , I try to tell them this and they call me a liar and then go on to blame SE for a failed Program.............

I have WHM 50 and BLM 50.............I wonder which these people think I play doing CM , AK spams and which I like to play ?

I can tell you , the one that gives me the shorter que times is not my main or my favorite job .........

People need to realize that forums are no indication of how well or bad a game is doing. The people who actually post on the forums are the minority in the community. The majority of this games playerbase probably never touches the forums. Last time I checked, SE released numbers with close to 1 million subs. Now, when you look at the forums and see a couple people leaving and say that the game is dying makes very little sense. Even if say, you find around 10,000 threads of people leaving with 20,000 players leaving from those threads. That will make no real difference to SE's sub income. Hell, even if 100,000 players left, this game would still be making a lot of money.

You're on Hyperion bro.... Like 1 out of the 3-4 overcrowded servers. You should see the servers that aren't overcrowded.

After reading some of these posts, I have to agree that sales and retention are two different things though.

The game's sales numbers are definitely pretty good, and its media reception was overall well-received.

It's really too early to say that this game is "dying" since its technically in month two of its release. I think a better time to accurately revise retention number would be in 6 months. I only hope it doesn't end up like TERA where after 3 months the population died by a lot, and it ended up just being an overhyped next-gen MMORPG.

One thing, however, I will note is that a lot of the early and mid-level FATE areas that people used to do has decreased by a lot since the game launched. I feel bad for new players who will be entering this game at a later time, especially if these areas become ghost towns - which they eventually do like most MMORPGs because everyone is at end game already lol.
