I’m not sure how they’re reporting that number, but yes I’d assume so.
With those daily log ins i don’t expect much subscriber drop at all. Maybe 25% worst case.

So I hoofed it from NH to EW in my quest to find blacktide bay and kill some orc for boots.
NH — SGS — GF — VoZ — EW
Upon zoning in all of the veil of vanguard too much brown is gone, the zone is beautiful… esp after living beta and EA in NH/SD/FPSVoZ
The map says the blacktide bay zone in in some caves and there is a cave entrance, right by me!
Let’s check out my surroundings. Wolves, kos..blue…. Drakes, kos, blue, white, yellow….orcs in cave… blue…?? The named I want is level 15…
Maybe this is one of those typical of “indi” or “emu hack” or well bad mmos where the path is harder than the destination. So i start to expliore in the cave and kill some orcs…get to a room of like 5 - 7 dudes and I want about to play FD splits in the tunnel… so I wonder back and its night..the orcs apparently then come in vs wondering by the exits of the caves so - had to take a few at once…get lost…get out.
So I sit there outside, kill random things, pleanty of room to fear kite to whites/yellows are good.
After a bit I am 3 yellows .. nice..
By then I have noticed the players have a very different vibe than over in NH and NH adjacent lands.
The groups all where at group content, poacher camps, etc.. solo peeps were at all the content with singles / roaming - etc all spread out nicely.
People did however… just sit at whatever camp fire was near by… in NH that seems to be considered very rude, in elf town, it seemed to be the opposite, a kind of “hey”
There is wood everywhere, people would most likely laugh at “wood stack 3s!” lol i mean it is a forest…so… great for exp as you can just plop a camp fire wherever if you move around some following spawns rather than running very far.
While I do this I look at maps and read stuff. And figure out blacktide has 2 zone ins- one leads to the “low level” side the other the “higher”… I am by the higher, and I want the lower…
So I figure, maybe I can get a level, exp is nice just messing around. Wife calls me for something and I come back to a train…never saw a train in hours.. but I was in the path from VoZ to the caves- so I most likely got hit with a path back…
I was 2 kills from 27… and now I am back in UD.
Well, thanks to FoH and all those responding to help- but big shout out to, I believe
Kharzette
for dragging my blue berry butt across the zone to get me a Rez.
Also thanks to FoH bro that gave a cool bird hammer… I dont know all character to forum names.
Killed for a little and got 27 and logged for the night.
Popped on this morning just for a little, got about 2 yellows already. To what
Noodleface
says.. solo and duo exp is far superior to group… groups have to be killing yellows at minimum to be good exp.
And generally named… just come back in like 2-3 levels and farm it yourself if it’s something only groups can get at level. I am sure… ? maybe this changes in the mid 30s up?
Apparently our old pal Tolan Darkwood has stopped giving his armor to people and setup poaching in EW and has some cool stuff…or something? Someone was shouting some quest no drops were rotting..so looking into that… the boots looked nice, and this was my “quest for boots” soo… /shrug - i prolly do not have faction for it but ehh.

Not sure if we can add notes in the guild (terrible guild leader honestly, haven't seen him login since day 1), but it might be helpful if people add a note what their forum name is if it's not obvious

You can do the boot quest Silicone, it turns in to a skeleton down in the bear cave, not tied to wood elf faction.
I had an adventure as well last night. Tried to camp one of the named in the maze complex thinking maybe I could solo it like I’ve done other named in the zone. This one can’t be snared and I’m a newb not using glyphs so I was wholly unprepared when the snare and root were unable to land. No biggie, I figured I wouldn’t be able to solo it but was willing to try. Fortunately, my archer friend is 49 and resisted all the spells from this named. He was able to kite 20ish elementals while soloing the boss, while I went back to town to get my backup spell book so I could gate back and port him out.
Wound up with a 6 stamina 8 intel hat for my wizard, which is better than anything I can recall from beta, think most were wearing a 4 stam 6 intel hat from Demeter Stollen in fallen pass. The loot in this maze is crazy good, as Del said a couple days ago.
Can’t wait to get the static there. Need to pair up with a tracker and someone that can take some hits in the meantime, cause I’m gonna throw myself at this temple for the next little bit, can quad kite the mobs in there easy enough while waiting for named.

Elementalists and necros have been sitting on this front left pyramid in the complex (from this perspective, front right as you approach from wisp road). This is the only one I've killed, twice now. You can sit on this pyramid without agroing anything else around, so you can just wait for boss to spawn like I did last night.
The other named I have seen (but not killed) was in a different section and patrols around the base of the pyramid. I can't say if they mostly are like the easy-to-get-to one or if they're all a bit tougher. This spot is the only spot I see people sitting at consistently though.

You can, I put one on my alt malyon. Not sure if it’s visible to others though. lol.
