RePLAY: BioWare denies any decline in Star
Wars: The Old Republic subscription numbers, Diablo III open beta weekend had 300,000 concurrent users and the photos
of one man’s family reenacted into videogame-inspired scenes.
While not a direct
challenge to the claim that Star Wars:
The Old Republic subscription numbers are dropping, BioWare denies any such
decline is taking place.
BioWare’s Daniel
Erickson told PC Gamer in an interview that any alleged drop is due to a
decrease in users online at peak times. Erickson says that BioWare is doing “anything
and everything” to keep users logging in.
“Nothing is off the
table when it comes to making sure our communities are strong and active on
each server,” said Erickson.

Although the Diablo III open beta weekend was marred
with login and Error 37 server full errors, it sure didn’t deter 300,000 demon
slayers that came online to test the game Saturday.
In terms of total users
that participated last weekend, Blizzard Community Manager Micah “Bashiok” Whipple
can only guesstimate it as “a lot.”
For users that were
able to login, a large part of the First Act was available: a level 13 cap and
a battle with the Skeleton King.
Of course, everything
was wiped once the beta weekend ended, but testers will have another chance to
conquer the world of Diablo III when
it launches on May 15th.

It all started as a
family photo blog showcasing his kids to his sick mother, but once Jason Lee added
a dash of creativity and a touch of talent to his photos, he transformed them
into masterpieces depicting his daughters in a new light—like the Super Mario Bros. or Angry Birds.
“I started this
project back in November of 2006, to document the lives of my children for my
mom, who was diagnosed with Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma,” Lee told Yahoo! Shine. “With
the kids being sick all the time, it wasn’t a great idea to have them around
her too often.”
