not millions, they never had a million >PAID< subs let alone millions. just like their fubarred press release last year stating they had 14 million active characters, then changing it to millions of players, then changing it yet again to "a substantial paying player base" tells everyone what spin adjustments they use to gain subs. as long as they correct something the first time its printed they get in very little trouble. and with some folks simply flocking to games because they "seem" popular because of released numbers(hence the lying on turbines part with sub numbers) many find this a passable business strategy.
that and the turbine devs act like arrogant bullies. (lol, i have a much better term but it's to controversial)
i cant wait for the first lawsuits to role on in from lawyers stating so and so ruined my clients game because of their comments.
can you smell that?!!...............there is nothing quite like it.....................the smell of troll in the morning............i love that smell.
LoTRO is a great game. It does have plenty of players for the number of servers it has. But it's never had a million active players, let alone paying/ paid accounts. That advertisement was at best misleading. The press release that some refer to was utterly asinine. We (mostly) agree on that.
Please don't do any further harm to the body of poor old Mr. Ed. You never met him, but he passed away around the first week after launch. When we finally laid him into the ground, his poor battered body had to be placed in a plastic lined casket so the remains (nearly pureed by the abundance of pedal assualts) wouldn't leak out.
I don't want to write this, and you don't want to read it. But now it's too late for both of us.

14 Million ? really , so with the 9 US servers that would mean that asia would have to have 150+ servers thats impressive ..
L2's popularity in Korea and such pretty much eclipses it here in the West.
