The 1.0 split up...

Just some stats.
Note that all stats were taken under the assumption that 50% of the maybes would pay and 50% would not.

Players staying: 44.202%

Players leaving:55.797%
I thought that that was pretty interesting.

I can't believe this many aren't willing to pay.

Why? Do you honestly think everyone is happy with the devs' decision to make AoS pay to play?
Do you think that every player has the means and opportunity to pay? Do you think that every parent is willing to take out their credit card at the sight of AoS? Don't you think some people may already be frustrated enough with the current state of AoS and its playerbase, that the thought of even paayyiing for all that will ever cross their minds? Nope.
Think first, post second.

What I mean by this is I don't see why you won't pay if you have the money. If you have a computer, monitor, keyboard, broadband Internet connection and a place to live in, it's a small thing to pay for a great game that runs well and is fun.

You miss the fact that many of those were bought using their parents' funds and the fact that kids have their own personal computer? Dang, they are pampered

So you're saying all of the community is under 18 and has no money/job?

I mean, c'mon. I meet that criteria by age, but there's still a lot of people here that don't.
