if APB boasted 130,000 accounts then I think Rift saying it has 1,000,000 accounts, while not accurate per person still means that at least 750,000 are playing which is a lot.
Didn't I say it will have 1 mil within 3 months? I may have underestimated.

You're saying that at least 3/4 of the people that TRIED the game probably went out and bought it?

Probably, and I know some players that don't like to play beta and just wait for release.
that's not a number that I would tout if I was a developer. Many of those accounts could be from people who were intrigued only to find out that the game wasn't for them.
Actually it's not all that bad, seeing as how a game like TOR that has been hyped up anticipated for years doesn't even have 1 million forum accounts yet.
TOR will have 1 million forum accounts very soon.
I don't think RIFT is really counting forum accounts here, because the numbers don't match up.
During the last beta I did a little test to figure out the amount of forum accounts RIFT had (the same way you do it for TOR, you look at your own number and figure out which account was the latest one to be created) and RIFT had only about 45000 forum accounts during beta.
So honestly, these figures must be something else, be it pre-orders or some sort of cumulative math.
However, I'm happy for RIFT and hope it does well regardless!
Feel free to use my referral link for SW:TOR if you want to test out the game. You'll get some special unlocks!

Yes, i think they are basing the numbers off of actual pre-orders.

OMG! don't tell that to the naysayers! They might throw a hissy fit and poop in their pants. You know cause after all Aion was a disaster so this will be too!
971 now. i think they kicked the people that were just afk waiting... so ppl that were actually there could get a chance to get in.
I'm at 880 now. Probably won't get the names I want but at least I'll be on a server that I know will be around for the long haul!
What guild are you in? My beta guild was on seastone.. So i probably gotta find a new guild here, haven't made up my mind, but when I found out Guilds from AION triniel server were going to briarcliff I decided to roll on that one, and maybe roll on seastone.

I don't understand why you guys are doing this.
For the record, once again, I pre-ordered the game, will play for a while and have nothing but good things to say about it.
Would you call that a naysayer?
yet even I see that their announcment is not off of preorders but just accounts made. This is all accounts.
people who hate the game and who will never touch it and people who love it.
The game might get 30 million players, who knows. But let's actually look at what they are saying and not imbue it with any more meaning than what it really is.

I didn't join a guild for the beta so i'll be looking for one as well. If you find a good one, keep me informed.
When the market is as barren as it is currently of course an 'ok' game gets 1 million on their forums so quicky. It's not as though people are spoiled for choice in new MMO's, there's been nothing but crap out for the past year or two.

Lol, and which game would make it only 'ok'? I can think of none that surpass RIFT in quality

definitely annoying. RIFT is not another Wow. I personally find WoW unbearable. but I love RIFT wierd huh
Why are the vast majority of posters in this thread being so negative? Trion is off to a good start!
are they ?
I really hope this game is as good as its hyped up to be.. but i'll be waiting to see what happens before i will commit to buying it or not.. if everything pans out well in the next few months then chances are i'll get the game too.. so i'll keep my fingers crossed.. but i won't be holding my breath on it

I have no clue where they got these numbers from. If trion came up with the numbers I can only assume they mean pre-order and sub numbers, because what does it matter if they have over 1 million registered peoples if they aren't all playing the game?
Either way, I will gladly perpetuate this statement , as long as it gets the doombringers and naysayers in a QQ frenzy.
It never fails the same few people across the MMO community feel the need to over voice their opinions and tell everyone this game sucks or that game is gonna fail.
They do this with every single game to come out and convince other people before they even have a chance to try it out for themselves, that their opinions must be true.
I'm just so sick of this attitude with the MMO community, that every game fails or sucks, Or is gonna suck.
Rift seems to be an over all quality game and good experience.

well, that's true, it certainly isn't another wow (would have been avidly playing wow if wow was like this).
I think that's the problem, there are too many people in extreme camps that are either Gilding the Lily or dissing the game.
