Apparently, sales aren't going as well as expected for the MMO that was supposed to be the first threat to Blizzard's World of Warcraft in a long time:
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Shares of Electronic Arts Inc. fell nearly 3% to $17.75 on Thursday morning after an analyst with Brean Murray Carret & Co. cut his price target on the stock to $22 from $28, citing concerns about the recently released online multi-player game "Star Wars: The Old Republic." In a note to clients, analyst Todd Mitchell wrote that "creeping concerns" about the performance of "Star Wars" -- which was released in late December -- is causing him to trim his earnings estimates for the 2013 fiscal year. "Specifically, initial sales appear to be below expectations, and casual observation of early play is causing us to rethink our churn assumptions," Mitchell wrote.
Meanwhile, the official forums for the game have word from users having issues with cancelling their one-month-free accounts, meaning that their first charged month would start.Another post on the forums luckily has a workaround that should solve most issues while gamers can also call customer service to help them out.
