    They still should add the /sea all feature.

    I didn't mean to imply that the small population would implode; I agree with you that it's stable. What I mean by a small population leading to the game's death is the company pulling the plug on it, which would most definitely happen to this game if the population stays small. Not 12k small, but >100k small.

    14k is dismal and this number is only going down.
    I agree; they should definitely do that. That's the kind of move that the gaming community would respect. Just say, our bad, we admit our mistakes, and this is beta 2. Because that's what it is. The full release isn't until 2.0, obviously.

    14k does not fund this game betelgeuzah. If you think 1.4 Million dollars a year can pay for 250 people, that means everyone is only making $5,600 a year. Something has to change for this game to make money, but it has nothing to do with charging 12,000 or so people $9.99 a month.

    Well, I will tell you what, you keep every dime SE makes off subscription fees right now. I will take that 1.4 million.

    Clearly $5,600 dollars a year, is $5,600 a year there not losing per person.

    These numbers are shockingly low if accurate.

    As much as I'm annoyed by SE slugginess I think they shouldn't care right now about server populations. It would require some work to merge them and they really don't have time for that now. They put everything on version 2.0. Right now it's a beta. And only people willing to pay for beta should stay.

    I guarantee you that the subscription is to simply make a small return on the money they are spending to make 2.0.
    Very distasteful business practice.

    We are to become investors but we will not see a dime if the product profits.
