Well the work week has come to an end and I’m ready for the weekend. Updating this from my desk actually. Anyway, aside from a brief two hour delay in my day due to snow I haven’t had much chance to play WAR this past week, but have been keeping up with the WAR news and have some takes on it.
With Regards to 300,000 Subscribers
There have been plenty of naysayers and nonsayers commenting on this and I won’t say too much. However this DOESN’T spell the end of WAR. With a 300,000 subscriber base that translates into $3,897,000.00 per month assuming everyone bought the 6 month package, which is the cheapest and and probably least purchased subscription. That being said, those funds are more than enough to pay for continued development, servers and maintenance, and also keep them generally staffed. IE they aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.
Also on the announcement of Official Forums
I think that this is a good step and necessary for the growth of the game. I’m glad that Paul was willing to revise his opinion to suit the needs of the players rather than force players to conform to the companies desires. Again this is tentative but I am excited about the concept of participation based access. The more good(useful) participation you provide the more access and rewards you will be granted. I think that this will help to strengthen our WAR community and the player communication with Mythic itself.
I’ve made it through a week of blogging and look forward to some upcoming posts. Best of luck to everyone on the Night of Murder.
