Are you wondering how well Star Wars: The Old Republic is doing? Looking for clues to whether it's a success?

While a picture might be worth a 1000 words, some numbers can weave an entire story. Here's the latest boasting figures from EA (Electronic Arts) and BioWare:

85 – MetaCritic score

"[T]he fastest growing subscription MMO ever..."

Over 2 million copies sold

Over 1.7 million active subscribers

Over 239 million in-game hours, over 332,000 months, 27,000 years of in-game time

Over 20 billion NPCs killed

Over 148 billion credits spent

EA stock price on December 19 a day before official release - $19.85

EA stock price on Feb 3 after all the numbers are in - $19.24

Hordes of gamers might be impressed, but Wall Street investors aren't. Perhaps proving investors really don't know anything.
