Wow - destroying MMO hopes and dreams for the last 10 years. Damn!
Kinda true, since so many had high aspirations of stealing WoW's number one spot and failed miserably.
So it definitely crushed the hopes and dreams of a lot of ambitious devs. :P

Unfortunately, I think Archeage figures so highly on Reddit because it's the go to site to find out what the hell is going on when the game is having problems. It can take hours before Trion tell us anything on the official site when the servers are unavailable etc.
Originally posted by SoMuchMass Subreddit activity being a good way to measure MMO populations is one of the funniest things I have heard in a while. However, I don't doubt AA is behind WoW at the moment, but that won't last more than a month.
I remember when Warhammer Online was #2 as well as Star Wars the Old Republic was treading WoW.
Goes to show you there is a market for players that are looking for that mmo they can call home.
The Old Republic really isn't doing that bad these days.

Yeah dude. You got me. I'm just trolling you guys. Reddit, Google, Raptr, Twitch, even this website, we are all trolling you. ArcheAge is actually a huge failure. Thankfully we have quality subscription MMOs like ESO and Wildstar that will save the genre.
There we go. In another thread you claimed that ESO is completely deserted. Would you be so kind and use your analytical methods, including Reddit, to back this claim?
There are a LOT of "haters"/disgruntled founders that have long quit Archeage that are posting about it like crazy on various things like reddit (and forums, which leads to more google searches). This forum activity is more so than other MMOs. Archeage is different enough from other MMOs that it's quite discussable. These people no longer play the game, nor do they LIKE the game (unless you include "like to hate it") thus don't count towards how "popular" a game is, but they lead to a massive increase in reddit and google activity anyways.
As stated, a better tracker, albeit far from perfect, is raptr and x-fire because those at least track who's actually PLAYING the game and don't include haters/disgruntled founders/trolls/whatever.
The problem with X-fire or Raptr is they track playtime not the number of players, 1 playing 100 hours is the same as 100 playing for 1 hr.
"The Problem" is people being incapable of accepting that they can't know something, like a game's population. Point out the flaws and the ways the numbers are demonstrably wrong all you want and the response will be "bad numbers are better than no numbers", or something similar.
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.

There is some information in this article.
Except the source material was supplied by, you guessed it, Superdata, which makes it about as legit as Xfires guesstimates
WoD will mostly affect PvE MMOs like FFXIV and GW2. I don't think AA's PvP crowd can be enticed by WoW's overall weak PvP.

Bad Data is worse than no data at all....
If you are holding out for the perfect game, the only game you play will be the waiting one.

what´s the subscription fee and what do you get if you pay monthly?
Worth it?
