SWG Tales

Stumbled across this guy's site who tracks MMOG subscriptions:

Looks like like they lost and bounced back already. It will be interesting to see the graph for the rest of the year.

I can't wait to see that when JTL hits the stores...of course that at least may provide the buffer we may need for when WoW hits stores only a month or weeks later.

Didn't Final Fantasy XI come out a few months AFTER SWG? This chart shows it starting almost a year before.

I say this because I remember everyone in the SWG forums saying they were leaving SWG for FFXI. Of course, FFXI stunk and they all came back.

A friend of mine tried FFXI and said it blew goats.

The links above are dead since this morning. Looks like we slashdotted it. LOL

I'd wager that it's counting the Japanese subscriptions to FFXI, which were in effect a good 6 months (or so) before it shipped in the U.S.

I bet you're right. I forgot about that!
