Airwarrior had a reduce player base but truthfully they still had a very strong one; at least as strong if not stronger and with more people playing it than what you all say WB has right now.
Maybe a reduced player base when you compare AW on EA with the AW that was on AOL but that was when AW was for free on AOL. When EA pulled the plug on AW, it was EA's second most popular multi-player game with close to 38,000 paying customers, which made it EA's second most popular online game and at the time it got yanked, EA's #1 game UO (Ultima Online) only had slightly over 50,000 paying customers. Another irony is that the 3rd most popular game on EA.com was a game that was in closed beta and didn't have any type of promotion during it's brief run but yet it got yanked along with AW for a game that barely attracted 10,000 paying customers on its release and within a few months dwindled to the hundreds. I wonder where Majestic is now?
I'm curious to see what the numbers of paying customers for WB was during this period, was it even close to AW's numbers?
Ack-Ack
