Stats for Brugdor...

Since we got talking I thought I'd give you the numbers to mull over. These numbers are from NCSoft's year end report (they also do them quarterly, but we're not done with Q106 yet.

Recently (Dec '05) the HCU has not increased and the Daily has only by 13%, but that doesn't really jive with the 30% increase in Montly. And makes me wonder if they didn't accidentally include people who were temp 14-day reups.

I'm interested to see the March 2006 numbers because more servers due to Japanese release.

Figured out the 194k

Figured out the 194k number.

The difference is people who bought CoV but already had CoH and instead of using CoV to upgrade their CoH account to get 12 character slots, paid for a 2nd subscription all CoV account for 8 villain slots. That explains why Daily (which is unique accounts in a day) and monthly (which is subscriptions) are so disjoint in the Dec 2005 numbers from other quarters.
