Originally posted by nariusseldon So? You still get plenty of people to play with. An unstable 10x population is still 10x. If a game has had 10x population increase (which I doubt) then it usually is attributed to two things: 1.) The popu…

I think this is a result of a few things. 1.) There are more MMOs on the market than ever before, so getting players really requires a fresh approach to long term engagment. 2.) Along with the above statement, games have been doing a TERRIBL…

Originally posted by KamiKazeTG I have to agree with Turbine on this one. The FAQ is not written by the same people that write the expansions or the descriptions for the expansions. I saw no such claim of features on the expansion purchase only on a…
