LotRO Subs

in Lord of the Rings Online

Atention, this is just my estimative, it is not a fact.

LotRO Eu have 11 servers

LotRO US have 11 servers

If all servers are full they have 10k players total playng on each server (3k at the same time, on the prime time)

So i assume LotRO have 220k (probably less becase not all servers are heavy at the prime, and many will be out after the first month).

I wold like to see more opinions.

Thx

    i would say less than 1/2 of your estimate...

    not all servers will be full at 10k

    ther might a couple that are heavy mostly medium and the rest light

    its like that in every game

    i would estimate it at 90-100k for now and it will grow im sure...

    whats the point in this thread? Guessing how many subs a game has and how many people its servers can hold?



    Why not just wait until the free month is over and turbine and codemasters actually release some info on how many people are playing.

    Because they'll only release that info if it's good for PR. Given all the fan boy hype surrounding what is basically on OK MMO and not the greatest thing out there as hype has been suggesting, those figures are going to have to be stupidly good.



    I expect the LOTRO figures are reasonably solid but I strongly doubt they can match the hype the fan boys have been pouring on the game and that'll only lead to everyone looking at solid or average figures and saying "Ha ha ha, WoW beater indeed. Those are just your common or garden MMO launch figures such as DDO, Vanguard, etc got and look at where those 'next big things' are now."



    The sad fact is the ridiculous fan boy hype for this may well have donoe more to damage it than anything else as people have been told it's a WoW beater and played it to find an average MMO and when it get's average MMO sub figures, those who haven't played it will look at it and realise it's probably not the future of MMO's and just wait for AoC or WAR

    CoH/CoV - D-Zol/Kinslayer
    Auto Assault - Slayer
    WoW, LOTRO, DDO - Kinsul
    Matrix Online - Tempest

    Its a solid MMO and looks nice, its great for people into LOTR and people who havent played many MMOs before. To everyone else its nothing new. There seems to be either rabid fan boys or folk hell bent on destroying any hype this game gets, not many folk sitting in the middle ground. Its a decent game and will easily get a decent and loyal player base and not look bad at all, it certainly wont do a MxO.



    WoW is an exception no other MMO will have a subscription base that big for a long time!

    I still don't see how the volume of actal subs is important to people...

    'ooo this game won't break a million, it won't last long...'

    Before the big bad WoW came along no one expected those numbers in fact 500k was considered good and TBH it still is, take a look at EvE and CoX do you see them breaking over a mill? nope.. and what have CCP resently done? Only merged with Whitewolf!! Like I've always said, any dev wanting the numbers of WoW will fold, look at Vanguard and Brad, he didn't like his 150K within the first month and then states 2 month down the line 'ooo my vision doesn't see EQ players anymore, it sees WoW and LoTR players' then goes about changing his game again thus annoying his loyal fanbase thus seeing at least half more on to a new game..

    As long as the game makes enough to run and a slight profit... who cares?

    Bring on the WARRRRGGHH!

    300-400K after the first month and will grow to over 1million subscribers within the first  6 months between NA and EU.  With most of it coming from the EU market.  EU has already stated they are opening new english servers due to the current ones being full. 

    Currently playing:
    LOTRO & WoW (not much WoW though because Mines of Moria rocks!!!!)

    Looking Foward too:
    Bioware games (Dragon Age & Star Wars The Old Republic)
