Personally, I wonder where this game can go from here.

The only people who seem to like this game are the ones who feel story is everything.

They love the voice-overs and take their time through the content.

When they get to 49/50 they roll an alt and play through it all again.

Where is that taking us?

I mean, seriously... to cater for these players, you need to continously create new "stories" don't you?

More voice-overs... well just more of the same stuff that everyone else is so bored of and can be completed so much quicker than it can be created.

It's just a really bad model that can't sustain itself surely?

The game is fine, this website is not. The servers are fine, with 15 light currently, rest standard heavy and very heavy. Has there been a decline, yes, not as drastic as the haters make it seem and it is the same for all MMOS.  In closing I am gonna leave here for now and play the game I am currently enjoying since this website offers me no new information about the game and is full of overinflated pricks. Hell the news on the front page is days behind massively. I will come back when GW2 releases with a big shit eating grin when I see all the bitching about that game, which is already starting btw. That will be the only thing to bring me back to this shitty community. Enjoy your portal fest in GW2.

Im still playing and enjoying, the truth is: there is only a handfull of what can be considered good and healthy mmorpgs on the market, and swtor even not perfect is still among the best overall.

To join the few "good"  mmorpgs available, only Gw2 in a near/medium future and to a small extend Tera, and yes, the game from Failcom is just that, even before its born, people should already know what Funcom gives us...

Swtor has some problems , and im sure they will be adressed soon, the game can only improve.

Its funny how bioware launched a new mmo in 2012 just to play catch up to a 2004 mmo in terms of features and functionality.

Still the same old commendations and dailies grind game with everything 5 years backwwards.

Not sure what the people who bought into it thought they were going to get. Sometimes "trolls" aren't actually "trolls"

I think the less you EXPECT from a game....the more fun you probably have playing it.  Hype is hype.  All games get their season of hype.  Some of it is true and some is pure optimistic speculation, but one way or the other, I don't let myself get so caught up in it that it determines (ultimately) if I enjoy the game or not.

 

Why do we set our standards so low?  Why should we go into a game expecting "less."  I guess that's my problem.  "We are enjoying TOR because we are lowering our expectations, you should try it!"

Don't play the game atm but checked the server status page and for me it's showing 10 heavy and 1 very heavy, so seems the game is doing fine to me.

 You consider that fine for prime time on a Friday night? Out of like a 120 servers? All the rest are standard or light. I don't rate that as fine myself.  I see at this time 19:43 PST/22:43 EST 15 heavy load, 1 very heavy load and all the rest standard with a scattering of light.

 Forgot the EU servers, at this time they are all light load. That I expect since for them its not their prime time. During our day time I'll see their loads more like what we're seeing in the US.

I foolishly subscribed for 3 months.  I'm out in April with most of my guild.  Until then I'll raid 1-2x a week just to hang out.  Definitely looking forward to GW2.

Not to flame, but I never got this.  Why on earth would anyone subscribe for more than a month to a just released game?

tbh, I won't do a multimonth sub to any game.  Patches change things, devs come up with a colossaly stupid idea, etc.

Im thinking about this too, but iirc, they have another group solely  doing contents and the next x-pac.

Personally i hope this games does becomes profitable, wouldnt wanna see anybody lost their jobs, but i hope it is just profitable enough, say around 450k subs? So that this will once again send a Huge signal to the rest of the devs out there that this genre REALLY needs something different from the same path thats being chun out for the past 7 years. And v.o is not 1 of them.

The love for the game, the i.p and the initial hype being build up etc...

Me too will never sub more than 1 month for a new game till im pretty sure 1 to 2 months into it that i'll continue to play.

Most of the people I know who are really enjoying this game are solo centric players from my guild.  Not that they do not group but spend more time solo playing do to work/school/family ect than playing with groups.  This game is probably one of the best ever made for the solo players. 

Most of my guild passed completely on this game after beta because many found the story and the cut aways in SWTOR interferred to much with feeling like a MMO and grouping during the leveling process.  We all were of the same mind we enjoy this type of story driven game play in single player games like Mass Effect but really did not care for it in a MMO.

I have been saying this all along but somehow the game is thriving, I mean it went from 15-20 full with Queues, 20-30 Very heavy and the rest heavy, but some people don't get it.

This game is dying I say Jim dying!

wait till TSW and Tera launch followed by GW2 not to even mention Pandaland

The game is doing fine without you minority players....

My guild is growing everyday with new players, our server is populated just fine every night.

There are some minor bugs with the game, but nothing as earth shattering as you people make it out to be.

Our guild PvPs and sometimes we win and sometimes we lose, but we always have fun.

Questing/heroics/flashpoints are always enjoyable with great loot drops and great strategic combat within our roles.

Finally, there seems to be great optimism about what's upcoming for the game on our (ST:ToR) website. Sure there are trolls and doomsday predictors, but they'll leave when the "next" shiny bit distracts them.

Why don't you guys just head over to your "next" big game website and troll over there looking for anything to bitch about and predicting that game's demise, because you know it's coming...

Every new game has people like you with nothing better to do than to crap in other peoples cereal and then watch us discuss it. I'm sure we're all done with it and when the next game does come out, I(and many, many others)will be so happy when you flock off.

there is no point arguing that they are wrong. "Bioware's numbers prove them wrong but they just tell us bioware lies to there investors , So u cant do anything but ignore them.

Thats what i try to do lately, i just go play tor and ignore these people. They have no facts to back them up but that doesnt matter to them.

What's this?  SW:TOR is two months in and the industry's basic economic principles still haven't desintegrated?

Whats mroe amazing is its 2 months in and hasnt gone free 2 play yet if u read all the naysayres this game was gonna be free 2p lay in 2 months, and out of buisness in 6. 

Well guess they cant always be right. lol.

Flock off, really. sorry had to comment on that. anyhow the main reason most people are here bitching is because they are waiting for their own respective games that they want to play. GW2 players are like Ron Paul supports who will harshly critisize every other game but put theirs on a gold platter (im a ron paul supporter trust me i've seen this first hand) they sadly make up the majority of people on the forum's. there is also the people waiting for TSW how kinda sit back maybe comment once and awhile (i'm one of these however i got bored and wanted to rant) though in truth GW2 players tend to attack SWTOR because its there and TSW tends to make fun of GW2 because they think their game is the ultimate innovation since the invention of 3d gaming. so the explanation to why we do this is simple, Boredum.

The fact that you believe marketeers over players says a lot.

I've been in the marketing game and let me tell you it's so full of bullshit I can't understand how it's not illegal.

Why is it the only source that you guys will credit, is from the publishers themselves?

Hell, with you guys as followers I wish I was a politition... whatever I say is the truth right?

I wonder what you guys are going to say when Tortanic starts to merge servers...

"No, you don't get it, they are TRIAL SERVERS, the game is GROWING"

I'll tell you what they'll say right now...

They'll say that all the haters ruined a good game and if it wasn't for us, things would have been so much better.

Don't expect someone with that mindset to ever admit defeat.
