He considered this a major expansion and the culmination of years of work. The player reaction to Incarna was a shock to CCP and the numbers of the second week had to be disappointing.NoizyGamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17315716516032999133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-950580962265400572011-07-05T11:51:14.737-05:002011-07-05T11:51:14.737-05:00I don't know if July 4th falling on a Monday w...I don't know if July 4th falling on a Monday would be expected to affect numbers on Sunday.<br /><br />But beyond that, I'd argue that Incarna is not a major expansion in the typical sense of the word, and CCP hasn't really marketed it as one. Compared to some recent expansions, it has been a soft launch. I probably like the Captain's Quarters as much as anyone, but look, it's an open beta of a hotel room. There is no reason to think people would flock to it (and plenty of reasons to expect the vets to complain).<br /><br />Basically, I wouldn't measure the success of the rollout of Incarna the way I would, say, Apocrypha. The big release is the NEXT one.Tom Hoffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08577165613934129833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-48158129837201910662011-07-05T10:41:26.939-05:002011-07-05T10:41:26.939-05:00Don't forget that this last weekend was July 4...Don't forget that this last weekend was July 4th weekend for US folks.
