Unfortunately that isn't what happened. The people that ragequit over the fixes to the AE exploits were furious that they could no longer get outrageous rewards for little time and risk put into running AE content.

It wasn't about comparable rewards for them, it was about filling maps with targets that couldn't/wouldn't fight back.

The people that quit because the exploits got fixed wouldn't have stuck around very long anyway. They were planning to leave in September when that other super hero MMO went live. While they waited they bashed CoH on those forums but when that game went live they started cancelling their subs before the first week was up. By the end of the month that game was a barren wasteland compared to our playerbase.

Yes all MMO's are DOOOOOOMED!!!

Now these are great examples of why some people let their subs expire instead of rearranging their game time to fit a new schedule. But you forgot ragequitting when the devs fixed an exploit they were abusing.

NCSoft can speak for themselves, and the answer so far has been pretty clear. Even tho the population has dropped lower than it was last year they are still making enough money to keep all the servers up, pay everyones saleries, and still show a profit.

Wow, it really galls you that NCSoft is still turning a profit with this game despite all your predictions that it's doomed.

Keep your fingers crossed there big guy, and maybe things will get worse like you keep saying.

They aren't excuses. They are legitimate reasons why people change their real life schedules. Having those things happen doesn't mean that they up and cancelled their subscriptions like you want people to believe.


The truth is that even with subscriptions being lower then they used to be most of the playerbase doesn't have problems finding teams on any server regardless of the size of its population.


It sure is fun watching you guys froth at the mouth whenever anyone disagrees with you.

I do care a little, but I'm not gonna get entirely bent out of shape over it.

No Guild Wars isn't currently a subscription game. No idea if GW2 will be.

You can get real donuts from the donut shop in Freedoms Faultline.

I heard something second hand along the lines that when GW2 comes out GW players that buy it are supposed to be able to bring over at least one of their characters in some capacity.

That would be cool here.

See that's an idea I've been toying with. I have a leperchaun I'm leveling up to make Croatoa his home. Once he hits my target level I'm turning off his xp, and I'll run him when I want play around in that zone.

I have characters on both sides, The free server transfers will let me shift them around tho and open up slots on some servers while building up a presence on others. And I can free up some names without deleting anyone.

You don't see the masochists blueside since they are always in the AE building.

In your delusions. Most players won't set foot redside because they hate the linear content. The only thing hated more than redside content is PvP.

Yeah and most players with villains will be bringing their favorite archetypes over to blueside and never looking back. So why waste dev time making content that only half a dozen people will use. Plug the resources into where people are actually playing the game.

No problem I'll edit my post as well. no harm no foul.


Edit: I had just finished reading the doom post below and didn't get the snark up here. Oh well these things happen.

That only works when the retailers have competitors. The manufacturer has the freedom of saying if you don't like this we can go across the street and deal with your competition.

In South America there is only the one retailer (Why I have no idea). They can tell NCSoft what their willing to carry and if NCSoft doesn't like it then their players can find another way to pay for their subscriptions.

You could say that retailer has a monopoly in that area.

So how do you force a retailer to do something you want when they can say, "Go ahead and pull your time cards. Your gonna lose more money if you do that then we will."

Well to be accurate he has most of it. The pre-purchase will be missing some of the perks, but he can buy the missing goodies in the GR perk/booster pack they'll start selling on the 17th.

The problem with the Predators is that we only see one tiny aspect of their culture in the movies. What we see is what they do for fun. Like how the old big game hunters used to go on safari in Africa.

Not trying to sound like a jerk but how can NCSoft force a third party business to offer/carry their products?

South America has a huge problem with credit card fraud and NCSoft isn't willing to deal with it the financial penalties they get charged by the credit card companies when fraudulent charges are processed. It sucks big time for our South American brethren, but it's an ugly situation.
