Click on the Global Tab, look at the chart, look at the decline.
If thats not a steady decline over the weeks I dont know what is.
We spoke about this before and I posted the link a couple of weeks back and guess what it is still declining heavily on sales.
It has had its peak.
It is a normal decline in sales, the same kind you see with almost every game released. I don't read much if anything into that chart.
The argument was directed at Vayne who previously has said sales will likely stay consistant.Originally Posted by Ender4000

Uhh, well I was only referring to two people that have been extremely adamant and defensive against any negative feedback said about the game. Whether it was constructive criticism or internet QQ.
I do know that I've never seen any of the NA servers dib below high pop since release. And like 7 of them are always full during prime time.
Some of the Servers are still busy from what I have been told, no new servers added though? and some server going dire.
Thats all I mean about it being at, and past its peak.
Numbers will not grow again on a massive scale, even with updates it wont bring back millions, or grow millions of sales like other games.
Edit - In my opinion as it seems important to say this with every comment.
Isn't it peaking near release and then declining a pretty normal thing though? I mean, once you buy it, you don't go buy it again. You make it sound like the sales decline is some kind of reflection of people quitting the game.
For typos and poor grammar, blame my iphone.
That was not my intention, I just stated sales were down on a massive scale as Vayne asked for some proof.
Decline is normal ive said this from the start in a previous thread.
Normally the argument is there is no sub, people can come back, but I see that as a terrible way to look at an MMO type game, an MMO type game is supposed to hold your attention so it becomes a hobby, maybe not for some, but for many and for me.
And the general feeling from a chunk of the player base is that it is boring, why would anyone put any more serious time into something they feel is boring.

Games always hit a peak and then drop, that's just how the industry works. At this point in time I'm sure their focus is more about keeping people playing and less about bringing in new revenue specifically. Two months is too early to tell, give it at least 6 and we'll see. Usually with MMO's you wont see a big jump in purchases after launch until the first expansion.
I open up the server list every time I log on, I literally can't remember seeing any NA servers dip below "High" population. I'm not saying they're all high/full all the time, I just haven't seen them fall below. Pretty much, ever. I know the zones all seem empty but I think that's just because they're so big, not because people aren't playing. The EU servers are all kinds of up and down though.
Last night all servers were high and 5 were full
Jhn 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
EU Servers are Terrible atm, not surprised about NA, same in Diablo 3, US always has some people floating around EU is awful.
