You guys both should know by now that making predictions about UO's future, good or bad, is unwise. Especially ones about the demise of the game, people have been saying it for more than 10 years now. Of course one day they will eventually be right, but that day will not come while the game has a healthy population (
~110k players), and continues to be profitable (UO rakes in aprox. $1.5mill USD from subscriptions in one month alone {110k subs x $12.99/m* = $1428900}).
*Yes I realize that not everyone pays $12.99/m as it is a little cheaper if you buy 3 or 6 at once, but we can assume that UO's sub takings for one month would probably be round the $1mill USD mark.
Can anyone think of another 10 year old game that still makes $1mill+ every month?
