Currently playing Rift and enjoying it more than any other game since the first days of Asherons Call. So I'm not sure I'll actually give up Rift for Star Wars. The game certainly needs to be good to keep me playing past that first month and causing me to quit Rift.

Another one feeling the lack of a "none" option here.

Does any MMO really prevent us from playing other games? Almost all the gamers I know will play SPGs and co-op games alongside their primary MMO, and they often have a back-up MMO that they stay subbed to in case they feel like a change of mood / pace.

I'm not subbed to anything right now, and I'm sure I'll still have time to play other games when SWTOR comes out. Whether I'll want to play them is another story - but the great thing about SPGs is that they only get better with time and patches (and mods) so letting them grow awhile before playing them doesn't leave you at any kind of disadvantage.

I don't ever see gaming choices as either/or. I see them more as "now" and "later"

The biggest problem with your logic is that you think the 'later' will happen for ANY games. :P

*looks at my backlog*

I'm still in WoW after 6 years and my latest 6month subscription expires on Thursday December the 22nd !! If this is not an omen then i don't know what is. 

I won't cancel my WoW account though since i will check on the next expansion. Of course then my WoW play status will be a super casual one. 

I'll put WAR on hold for as many months as TOR interests me. I have some misgivings over how long it can retain my interest, but it'd be a shame not to check out one of the more anticipated upcoming games.

I have played SWTOR... No plans to play it further.

Sticking with WoW. I am ready for 4.3!

I'm currently playing EQ2 and not likely to switch to anything else until SWTOR comes out, though if I stick to my plan I won't join SWTOR until next spring.

(unless, of course, my wife happens to buy SWTOR for me for Christmas, then it won't be my fault)

VIP on DDO until SWTOR comes out.

    Same here but before TOR releases I am going to buy all the quest packs I need so I never have to pay a dime on DDO again, at least not for content (I bet you DDO has a big sale on packs before SWTOR releases because they know they will take a small VIP sub hit).  Will be playing both DDO and SWTOR, and dropping LOTRO.

lol you do know shes bound to buy it don't you lol . I've already let it be known I want it as a christmas present although its unlikly I will start untill early January because I will be away for the holidays .

Playing DDO now  and paying a sub for it . I will drop that since time is my greatest enemy , I cannot afford the time for two games.

planning to take  a  break from premium access to World of Tanks

Gonna be stopping city of heroes/villians paid version to play TOR when it comes out. Not because i can't play both or don't have time to play both but because i feel TOR is an upgraded version of city of heroes/villians in terms of combat, story and choice system.

None. I am not playing any MMOs right now other than the beta.

As much as I hate to say it, I'll probably play swtor until i get bored, if its good it could be a year, if its bad a month...

...then go back to WoW.

I haven't played any mmo for longer than a year straight other than swg, so I'm sure the pattern will remain the same.

I haven't really played an MMO in almost 2 years but i will be playing Socom 4 , Madden 12 and NBA 2K12 alot less when TOR comes out.

None, as I'm only sporadically playing other recent MMO's anyway.

I was subed to WoW for the past 7 years.

But a few months ago, when I was happy enough with the features of SWTOR, I finally cancelled my WoW sub, and I have never been happier = )

i had to finally let go of my WoW sub as well. I miss BSing with my arena / pvp partners but a lot of them will be joining me in SWToR so I would not mind the game getting here quickly, lol. 

None, I can play more than one game at once.

You don't have to give up a game for another one.

Also, I'll be trying SW:TOR like everyone else but, it doesn't mean I'll like it.

UO...But was doing that anyway.  I still enjoy the 2D client, but I am not a big fan of the updated game, and new skill sets and such...Would of been on it, if they would of come out with a classic server, and then done updates, but kept it in classic style, not breaking the game up into different rule sets.

Last newer MMO I played was Rift, too small, limited, railed.

Little pessimistic of swtor, got friends playing, keeping an open mind, and hoping for the best....At the worst, it will do until GW2...At the best, I keep playing.
