Don't forget the current key sale had current and previous members buying tons of keys. SO we're not getting that much attention.

Yes, we are getting that much attention. Only a couple hundred were bought during the sale

Also, dont forget IDs skip large numbers

So maybe not 10000 ids but 500-1000

That's like 1/10th.

I doubt any Id's were skipped since 10000-30000

You have to remember, the ID ratio was 5000 ids per year. The ratio has doubled since then. Let's say we took out the sale, It would take about 3 months for that many ids to be purchased, that would be a full year. So yeah, it's nearly doubled

Someone posted a link to RTB suggesting that something like 422 keys or whatever were sold over the weekend. I'd guess that it's probably an underestimate since not everyone logged on the game yet or got picked up by RTB, some keys may have been deactivated when a credit card was declined or after a chargeback or whatever. I'd estimate that less than 600 were sold over this weekend though, so it doesn't actually subtract that much from the 10k.

As for people buying new keys for alts or after they were banned, I think the number is probably insignificant when you compare it to new purchases. I don't have any numbers to back it up but I'd guess people buying duplicate keys or whatever probably accounts for less than 100 sales a year. I can think of maybe 10 people that are serial idiots that go through keys quickly and I bet over their entire career of dumbassery they probably used less than 10 keys each that they purchased for themselves. I imagine the majority of them them were probably borrowed or stolen. I like this game but not enough to spend $200+ on it.
