PlanetSide (Confidence Rating: B)

After peaking at some 60,000 subscribers at the time of the release of its first expansion pack, Core Combat, in October 2003, PlanetSide has since fallen to approximately 50,000 subscribers. http://planetside.station.sony.com/

There you go, about where I expected, though I thought PS reached higher then 60k... interesting. Great Site btw.

Holy shit eve droped like hell....

[MrVicchio]

ACtually it is on an upswing if I read that chart right.

I would play Eve online, but my play time is consumed, like a fire with WoW.

It looks like it reached 120k then droped like a rock

[MrVicchio]

Thats Asherons call.

Eve is the light purple/blue with diamond line. Look for its launch between Jan and Jul 03 it hits around 55k player base.

[SecondRaven]

[MrVicchio]

I wish they had the PS numbers for after the introduction of BFR's

That's what, october ish... I bet we'd see a decline.

Mind you I still play.

[Electrofreak]

I'm still subbed... but waiting on Merits. If Merits give me something to keep playing for I will.

[Pilgrim]

I really only Play because I have fun with my Friends. We have set nights, we get together, we play.

It's all good

[Electrofreak]

Well, the Black Hawks sorta split up and went into different games. A few of us are in EVE right now, some are in WoW and other assorted games. Too much new stuff came out and it really put the hurt on PlanetSide. However, I maintain my faith in the game, I'll be subbed until I decide it can't improve any more for me.

So, sony gets around the ballpark of $747,000 a month from planetside? My math is so horrible at 4:30am...

thats not a huge amount, but some people may use game cards so the number will be a little off

[Kikinchikin]

Why the FUCK is FFXI the number one MMO out right now???

But, that said, WoW sure made a skyrocket, as expected, and will surely rape and surpass FFXI soon if it hasn't done it already.

[Rbstr]

that's not # 1 lineage is you'd know if you investigated it for yourself, IE click two links.

yeah that's > 3 million 0_o

[Giovanni]

Wow has it stands has about 350k subscribers and 500k CD's sold. FFXI has a high standing because it's worldwide... but even then I think that one is just for asia.

[Lartnev]

Koreans (and the Asian gaming market in general). Which is also the reason why Lineage is the true no.1 ;)

[Hamma]

I'm sure WoW will catch up.

[martyr]

rev has some more precise, day-to-day numbers:

[Doppler]

Sad, if i'm reading it right, Earth and Beyond was doing well comparitively and they still canceled it. Most of the downturn was in the period afte rthey announced its cancelation.

[Kikinchikin]

Holy shit... Lineage is absolutely ass raping everything. Never would have guessed that.

[firecrackerNC]

Crazy ass koreans and viets playing it is why.

[WhisperO]

Wow, I have a Lineage 2 account also... never would have guessed it was number one...

...interesting info and charts though. :) Thanks.

[MrVicchio]

Yes but E&B was also an EA product, and was touted to pull 150k subscribers, 300k by 6 months, I read a report on it online.

[Wraithlord]

Lineage has been assraping every game for years, hardly anyone in america plays it mind you, its almost completely asian


RUNESCAPE???

LMAO HOW ARE 250k PEOPLE PLAYING RUNESCAPE BWHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAA
*falls over laughing*

It's free and mostly composed of inactives and 10 year olds.

[ChewyLSB]

Yeah - that's the thing about Runescape. Since I don't think it has EVER cleared it's character database, the numbers can't really go down. I actually didn't think runescape was that bad, I had a level 40 pure when I stopped playing...

[Ivan]

I used to play back in the day too. I forget what I was.

You know, if you still remember your login and pass, I'm sure you're character's still in the database. I actually logged back in recently because I wanted to remember exactly what my character was. He (I think his name was Andrew?) majorly revamped the graphics... looks kind of weird.
