Well, Dr Cat, you shoulda ran a ticker of how many people tried your game!

I would like my Businessweek and Wall Street Journal press coverage now. Thank you. (Please don't tell them that many users create more than one character, and that others make a character, log on for 30 seconds, and then never play again.)

Most of their statements regarding subscriber numbers have a nice little paragraph at the bottom describing exactly what they mean by a "subscription." IMO the worst in this regard is SOE who just reports Station accounts so nobody really knows how many people are playing any given SOE game.
