Whoa, really going out on a limb there! What piercing insight.
Who the hell knows how this game will turn out; the graphics look good, and honestly that's about the only fucking thing we know about it right now. And as well all know, good graphics is usually equal to piss poor performance. Nothing better than shitty FPS in MMOs, that really brings in the subscribers! Add in no-instancing and hundreds of players around at once, and you've got a sure fire winner.
This kind of game sounds great, but as EVE clearly demonstrates the technology IS NOT THERE. It just isn't. Broadband connections can only handle so much. How much? Oh, I dunno, about a standard WoW raid worth of data?
If the technology was there, then all MMOs would likely be designed very differently.
I'll bet they can get anywhere from 50k to 3 million subscribers...well, IF they don't totally screw it up LOLOLOLOLOLOL.
