If that guy is a game developer, I'm a freaking Senior Executive Game Designer,  people are so gullible and would believe anything they see on the internet if it's in their interest. In that case, it's in the interest of fanbois so they agree and believe everything that guy had to say.

WoW will continue on it's suicide path.

SWTOR will kill Rift and EQ2, maybe Warhammer, then die slowly itself.

The only significant roadblock I'm seeing right now is the lack of addons in the UI.

I really don't think people understand how massive of a role that has played in WoWs success. 

I have to agree after playing the beta that Star Wars is going to be the wow killer as it takes millions of wow players away into space. If you love Dragon age, me 1 and 2, if you love games like The Witcher 1 and 2 , Skyrim than you will love Star wars , simple as that--Wow cya I wouldnt want to be ya

Doesn't really have anything to do with what I said at all.

Well, Soe's Smedley decided to NGE SWG.  He was intimately knowledgeable about the industry and his game yet he failed.  The guy that developed Vanguard Saga of Heroes, intimitely knowledgeable of gaming and mmos and he failed.  I doubt the OP of that article holds a position any higher than those two guys.

 You're not making any sense whatsoever. These people understand how games work far better than most of us. Does that mean they are not prone to committing mistakes? Of course not. Everyone makes a miscalculation at some point, it's inevitable. Yet, what matters is that their perspective is aided by their experience and their knowledge, and that is why a developer's view should be considered more carefully than your random fanboy.

As far as people liking themepark.  Maybe so.  Or maybe a lot of people race through the content to get to the end game raiding and pvp, and the themepark leveling is a means to an end.  People don't necessarily brag about the wonderful themepark questing but rather how quickly they got through it to max level.  Also, many people have been playing WOW for a long time now.  It may not be a matter of not liking it so much as just wanting to experience something different.

I seriously doubt this. Only a very niche minority praise immersion to be the "savior of the genre". People like playing fun games, regardless if they have tried and true mechanics. If a company can come out with a polished, distinguished, and quality product, they don't have to go out of their way to make it as different as possible from the standard for it to be successful.

But at the end of the day I'm not saying TOR will fail.  Infact, initially it will be a huge success.  And I hope it continues to succeed because then you and I and a lot of other people around here will have a game to have fun playing.

What a terrible article/post. He is basically saying that SW:TOR will be a WoW killer and eclipse it and all he seems to base this is lack of bugs/issues and the storyline for each class?

I am sorry but the first one is no reason for being a WoW killer (Rift had near perfect launch as well) and the second one is just your typical, albeit well done, single player RPG storylines.

So yet another person saying that yet another MMORPG will be the WoW killer and as usual, it wont happen.

100% agree.

 

Considering how RIFT was much more polished at launch than what we can expect from TOR , one can really wonder if we played the same game during the beta. Because let's be realistic here, there's no way BioWare can bring TOR to Rift quality of polish in 2/3 weeks.

 

Also, Quote " SW:TOR has the most compelling storyline of any MMO I have ever seen or played"

Seriously ??? Most of the quests are just average, very predictable and some even unconsistent.

Even in AoC you can find better lines!

Guess someone is not keeping up with current patches. I was a Rift beta tester too and i find SWTOR to be on same leve of polish. Few bugs, stable servers, minimum lag. I don't what else polish means?

The ability to customize your playing experience has had a large impact in WoW no doubt. Blizz has just adopted the most popular addons into the base UI.
