Geesh, HE WAS MAKING A JOKE!

This is what happens when people type down a spoken joke, and acts as if it's serious, I can't belive so many people actually fell for it, as others have said, they would have to release a new planet like every 10 days for the next 14 years, it's obvious that it's not going to happen.

He was just pointing out that the game had a shitload of planets, and further exaggerated to point out how crazy it actually is to ship it with 17 planets.

500 maps (They're not planets, guys...) is not that exciting in a themepark game. Once you finish with one, it becomes worthless to you.

If TOR were a Sandbox game, it'd be more fun and give me something to look forward to when I'm 45 years old.

 

Ah yes, because the same exact "maps" in a sandbox are sooooooooo soooooo different lol?

 

Have you ever played a sandbox game?

In a themepark MMORPG you level through areas/maps and never need to return to them.  They become pointless wastes of space.

In a Sandbox game the "map" is a simulated world where every inch of it is just as important as it was when you first joined the game.

Your message was just... snide and without insight.

 I have played plenty of sandbox games, as long as they empathize on having a deccent amount of exploration to do, it's all the same, wether it's a sandbox or themepark mmo.

The game arent build up like WAR, which is so linear that they really should have been ashamed.

Grandiose plans are nothing more than marketing baloney.  In reality, they need to focus on a successful launch and react accordingly based on whether subs drop off after 6 months or increase.

....and you wonder why lots of people dislike TOR on this site. Since with poor journalism like this seems to be a doing a good job misinforming people and giving them the wrong idea. Then people get butt hurt when they find out different from Bioware.

Seriously. Go to the following link. Start the video at 29:48. Do you think they're serious when they say 500 planets in 2025?

Yeah! The d00d was serious! I take everyone and everything serious. People shouldn't be joking about a game because too many lives are at stake. We've been waiting patiently for open beta and early access to arrive. The least they could do is be serious about it. They're taking our money (subscription) from day one right? Seriously....I mean seriously

Just kidding...I know they were not serious. lol

I am glad they are planning ahead but the 2025/500 was for PR only. I am sure they are already hard at work on the next 10-20 planets to explore though and that is a good thing.

It's good planning ahead and all, and the game looks polished..... But the game, well....... sucks..... There is nothing new in the game from older MMO's.... It's the standard quest and grind, and then grind raids........ Sound familiar to some games ??

They're lucky if the game lasts for 3 years....... With other much better MMO's coming up too, witch actually have some new stuff in it...... The only thing people like about this game, is that it's polished and that it is Star Wars.....

Before you flame me, please go ahead and state the things that are good about this game...... And don't tell me stuff that other MMO's already have....... So you really have to think...

Well if you feel that way, why even bother paying any attention to any forum regarding SWToR? YOu obviously have your mind made up and BioWare cannot change it. There is NO possible way for you to enjoy it right? At least you will save your subscription fee and you won't get suckered in. I'm such a sucker...lol   Gonna ride the story wave baby! Graphics alone just doesn't cut it for me. I think endgame has a lot to offer after watching the Comic Con video.

How do you know if the game is polished or sucks when it hasn't even officially launched yet? If you are in closed beta, well, it's not polished and it's what it is....BETA.

But the biggest attraction to SW:TOR that no other MMO has is a moral choice system that actually matters. I like to see what other people would do given a hard choice. You are not simply given a quest where your only choice is to do or not do the quest, probably not even given that choice if you wish to progress with your character.

If you're looking for just a game. Look else where.

I consider SW:TOR to be an experience.

I'm not a troll.... I just don't see the good thing about this mmo..... I shouldn't have said it as I did, I'm sorry for that, I just got angry....... IMO it's not good....

I my self, like more innovative games.... And there are not many of those really :( But like Archeage, Prime and some other...... But again this is IMO......

I might change my mind later on..... I probably will test the game..... At least I like SWTOR more than Guild Wars 2......

You haven't been paying much attention to this game have you if you say the quest are standard.

Sounds nice. Looking forward to see if they can keep up ;)

You will, Time changes nothing in your mind, only the world around you changes.

 

 Um WRONG. But it's okay, enjoy being young.

 

How is he wrong? The "gamer" demographic gets older all the time it turns out. That means that people who started out playing Super Nintendo are still gaming to this day. How do I know? I'm ~30 and I still play games. Just because 10 year old me loved to play games doesn't mean ~30 year old me doesn't.

quote completely taken out of context :P

you just got trolled by Darth Hater

ok we are in 2011 they are planning upto 2025. now i dont know about you guys but i know at the maximum so far a games average age is roughly 6 years. 

sorry to say this but swtor will be dead and burried way way way before 2025. and you wont see even close to 100 worlds. i reckon they will get out around 50.

but then the game will probably be dead before they reach 50.

The HYPE machine is clearing in overdrive here. This game is gonna totally suck or be great.

2025 is a long way away though. I wish they would focus on the content that will be released this year.

This is starting to sound like DCUO...all these promises but little details about Day One.

All I'm focus on right now the pre-game session I  have a key to. If the game is great then I'll stay if not I'll cancel and go to another game. I will say this...if they can deliver...I hope the veteran rewards are good.

I watched the interview, I swear he said 18 + minors....But in all reality 500 by 2025 is really a joke we all know SWTOR will not be around then hell we'll have bigger and badder stuff to do in the game industry. I can see it lasting for 6-8 years and I'd be happy!

You guys are taking the comment about 500 worlds in 2025 far too seriously. To my mind it's either a joke designed to grab attention or a misstatement by someone very excited about their product and its future.

No developer can seriously expect their game to have that much content (it's not even necessary to have as much as 500 worlds) or that the game will last for 14 years when technology and the industry moves so fast.

Tabula Rasa could have had hundreds of worlds too... oh wait, they canned that one, ironically the month before they introduced a new world.

I hope this doesn't go the same way.
