Actually I've seen the way they guessimate it from the stockholders
report and something around 150k-163k sounds about right. EA admits
revenues are down.
The other thing is busy is shard dependent. You can't swing a dead cat
on Europa or Atlantic w/o hitting some bank sitter. On Baja or Napa you
can literally run for screens w/o seeing a PC.
The topic should be "why" but it has been beaten to death so many times
I doubt if there is anything new to add. PKs say it is because of
Trammel, Trammelites say it is because of the power scrolls being in
Felucca, ...
BTW: I was a member of the ELF guild on Pacific where you are pointed by
this post. I resigned from it not because of the quality of RP but
because as a group they were among the worst PvP players I ever had the
misfortune to band with. Not a friggin one of them would watch your back
or understood even a simple concept like cross healing. It wasn't there
wasn't enough good, it was there was overpowering negatives associated
with it. War with everybody that wants too. It's the same guild that my
son and another guild mate let me die outside a guild tower to a 2:1,
TWICE! w/o so much as throwing a heal my way.
