ARR has 600k subscribers

They may have 600,000 subscribers, but they only have the infrastructure for half of that.

Something has got to give.

Which is why we have like every other day maintenance to try to resolve the situation XD.

I don't blame them for not spending money to support the initial influx of new players and tire kickers. Every new mmo goes through this time. It all comes down to them rolling the dice hoping the number of subs meet their expectations once things subside vs. losing all the momentum they have and issues they are suffering now make the customers over correct and move on.

It's bidness, it's not some noble art or science of making and enjoying games.

True, but I believe that they will retain a healthy 400k ( like they originally predicted), but it could def. be a major hit as well. It wouldn't hurt to have the extra room.

No it didn't. SWTOR lost over 500,000 players with 3 months. We went up in 3 months. In 3 months SWTOR was bleeding out.

Kind of whats happening here...

Same. Just loggen in. Got another queue, like every day.

Game's doing fine, and the doomsayers are mad.

I mean sure FFXIV:ARR will lose players, but I don't see majority of the players getting to 50 and complaining on the forums. As long as there is content for those players ( Majority) to do, then the game will be fine.

I'm just going off the information being presented to me. If we were at 1.5mil and now 600k that's almost a 1mil drop off. I am enjoying the game don't get me wrong, I was just pointing out that what happened to SWTOR is also happening here.

All MMOs ( Sub based especially) Play their free month out ( Like it, hate subs) ( Hate it period) then it's almost certain most MMOs go through the "Initial" Drop. Now we are left with 600k+ subs ( that have put up their 12-74.99 depending on length and plan)

We may see a little more of a drop, but I am fairly sure it will not drop past their prediction (400k). FFXIV:ARR will do just fine.
