so CO is out

http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/sillies.php?d=20090902 just for LOL

but ya has anyone noticed a "slight" decline in the number of player for cox yet, personaly i have noticed that my markettering sales have gone way way down.

Anecdotal evidence can mean anything, really. There are also a couple of conventions running right now.

ALL the Badges! (I can get. 1396)

And what about the new school semester? Surely that can cut into things as well.

I think it has to do with Stocks & Unemployment rising since it happened at about the same time. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090904...20090904215510

I mean if happening at the same time is good for arguing for cause & effect, this is as good as any.

so what you are saying is that you do not belive that CO has or will have an effect on the number of players for CoX?

CO.... damn all games

What's CO?

And why did they even bother to create it, as CoX exists?

I got a lifetime sub to CO and feel as though if it lasts half as long as CoX I've gotten a discount and my money's worth. CoH is no better than any other MMO, it has its flaws it gets old and it needs some improving. CO if anything should help push the CoH Devs to do some new stuff.

For now I feel as though CoH has hit the ceiling for what it can currently do for me, as a pvper I see nothing here that can keep my interest for more than a couple a days then I usually let my sub run out for a few months and will come back at a later when I'm not CoH'd out.

CO is not a bad thing for CoH, it should make CoH stronger IF the Devs choose to, that is.

I was probably trying to be amusing, rather than stupid.

I guess that my point was that CoX is so good that there is no need for another game. Admittedly, I haven't tried CO and it could be wonderful...

i have tried CO , i would be realy surpised if it did end up crushing CoX. why?
okay When WAR came out there was lets say 30% of WOW players tried it out, after a month of playing it they found 1) not all of there WOW friends are playing 2) they were thinking that it would feel like / play like WOW 3) WAR would be more polished in its first month of game play then WOW would be after the years WOW has been out.
I think CO is good for a stand alone game, alot of the games wrighting is vary well done, but at the end of the day CoX is more polished. CO also has the problem that CoX had when it first came out, 1) they is a smaller dev team working on up dates 2) it is VARY UNBALANCED 3) Jack Emert is still dual wielding nerf bats and people do not like that.

what i was realy surpised at when i started this theard is was, i was selling about 10% of what i normaly sell on the market for the week when CO came out.

I'm playing both CO and COH and like them both. I find both have their strong points and weaknesses. Stop fretting about the pop of COX, they said the same thing when WoW came out. There are similarities between both games, the whinning that certain aT's are overpowered. Oh Well.

I would definitely agree that there is no need to fret. I'm still playing (and enjoying) Asheron's Call, and WoW was supposed to kill that. Many people left for WoW, and some eventually came back because they liked AC's content more, despite the (comparatively dated) graphics and other issues.

I just wish I had time for more games, so I could play CoX more than I do - which is hardly ever, these days

To date no game has been "killed" by a direct competitor coming out.

Games like "Matrix Online" have managed to kill themselves, but if older games like Ultima Online or EverQuest can stay open and functional then I'm pretty sure CoX isn't going away any time soon.

Baldur's Gate 1 Multiplayer still lives, true story.
