Check wikipedia, check sites like this, check other gaming sites, it's obvious that your narrow, subjective view of what an MMORPG is, is nowhere near what the rest of the whole damn world regards as an MMORPG, yet YOU are trying to sell ME your personalised ideal of what an MMORPG is?!? In contrast of what the rest of the world sees as MMORPG's or not?? Seriously, you're killing me, I almost spilt my cup when I read it. Look, your ideals and dream vision of what an MMORPG should be like and feel like (for you) is cute and all that, but let's look at things objectively and rationally, shall we, and keep facts like facts and definitions like how the rest of the world or at least the vast majority of the world regards them. TOR is an MMORPG, everyone not on a soapbox and on an anti-TOR campaign can acknowledge what the rest of the world already knows, namely that TOR is an MMORPG. Hey, if TOR ain't an MMORPG of the type you like, if you even hate and despise TOR and the EA/BW people for making it, cool, I'm fine with that. Not every MMORPG is for everyone. But let's stick to reality and standard definitions that the rest of the world uses and can live with, shall we.
Oh, and btw, LotrO DOESN'T have unlimited world PvP (lol), neither had EQ2, and crafting in MMO's like WoW and LotrO was as meaningless and base as in TOR, with even less to it in terms of mechanics and gameplay. I could go on, but basically it comes down to that each MMO has its own strong points and weak points, that doesn't make an MMO any less being an MMO, it makes it simply 1 MMO that you like and another that you dislike or even hate -_- |

Every person that has ever played EQ, EQ2, AC1, SWG, AO, DAoC, WoW, LOTRO and a half dozen other MMORPGs are laughing at you for comparing SWTORs depth to that of other games. Seriously, you're killing us...hell, you're killing the million plus people that quit SWTOR for how craptastic it is. |

MMO sandbox games are as exciting as watching paint dry. |

Originally posted by Z3R01 Scott Hartsman did the same with EQ2....kept kicking content out. It is the way to fix any PVE game that folks think is "lacking" for content. Asking Devs to make AAA sandbox titles is like trying to get fine dining on a McDonalds dollar menu budget. |

I agree with all of the above, while I quit Rift long ago because it catered to a crowd that I wasn't a part of I can't think of any AAA devs that do more for their players than Trion. I don't begrudge those players that enjoy SWTOR but Bioware under the rule of EA is absolute shit. EA almost makes $OE look good. |

Seriously, you're killing us...hell, you're killing the millions of people that have played themepark MMO's including TOR for saying that they haven't played MMORPG's all this time. Every rational, objective person realises what the world considers an MMORPG and not, what's a shooter and not. If you find an MMO 'craptastic', it's still an MMORPG, even if it doesn't feel like what you think an MMORPG must be. But hey, wikipedia, all these MMO sites and gaming sites, the whole gaming industry must be liars too with what they see as MMORPG, right? |

But TOR is just a massively single player game with optional multiplayer- like D3 but without as much depth and far less of a disgrace as the third part of a trilogy. |

Originally posted by pierth Nope. TOR is an MMORPG, try to redefine MMORPG's to only those that you like to play all you want, but TOR and all other themepark MMO's that other people think aren't MMORPG's either, are still MMORPG's and regarded as such by everyone who can be objective and rational about it, and accept what the de facto standard is -_- Kinda lame and childish, this constant redefining of the MMORPG genre by those who don't like a number of games in it. What are we, 11 years old here? Grow up, be honest and just say 'it's not an MMORPG of the type I like' or 'it's not what I think MMORPG's should be', living in denial what the rest of the gaming world considers to be MMORPG's, shooters, etc just isn't the way, that kind of denial is what children do, not adults. Or at least, shouldn't do imo. |

I know it was a great poke at this game a couple months back when it was actually fresh to say it was a single player game but you guys want to give that a rest already? Lot of things you could say about this game. However, saying that argument just comes across as being stupid and pretty much discounts anything worthwhile you might have to say. 1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical. 2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept. You aren't privy to some secret the rest are missing. You're embarrassing yourself. 3. Yes, Cpt. Obvious, we're not industry experts. Now run along and let the big people use the forums for their purpose. |

Originally posted by Wickedjelly Exactly this. There's a lot that can be said justly regarding the flaws of TOR (and Rift), but let's at least be rational and sensible about it, instead of this childish 'this or that MMO isn't an MMORPG but a single player game' argument. Less immature hyperbole extremes, more depth in solid arguments. |

You mean the de facto standard of any Dev that wants to label an online game with any multiplayer capability as a MMORPG if they wish? Not sure where you've been but I've yet to see any "standards" for a MMORPG. |

You really think anyone would have survived until Rift's end game if it (the entire rest of the game) had SW:TOR's quality? |

I left Rift and ToR for same reason they felt the same lifeless quest hubs pushing you toward yet another raid treadmill. |

Originally posted by Z3R01 Argh... okay, first EA said that SWTOR is not a primary focus for them. Ever noticed that e.g. NCSoft never really said that GW2 is a major focus for them? Because they are the company at the top with a studio underneath working its magic creating the game. Of course GW2 is the primary focus for ANet, as is SWTOR for BW. Trion on the other hand, well, they don't have much released content in their portfolio right now to focus on :-P Now, on to the "endgame" point... which frankly always makes me laugh: you understand what "endgame" means, right? End of the game? The final big fight? The "this is it!" moment? If you don't understand that, well, I'm sorry, we are not here to provide basic education in the meaning of the most simple of words. SWTOR doesn't need a lot of "endgame" content (in the early stages of its life) if you play it correctly... which would mean using the low to high level content to level up alts! Anyhow, just as with this simple fact, people see things the way want to see them, so, if you feel that EA has abbandoned SWTOR, if you feel that SWTOR is lacking in the only content that is relevant for playing it, who am I to argue with you? Enjoy playing Rift. Others enjoy playing other games. And life is all good. |

Originally posted by Z3R01 You are right , rift is doing better then Swtor, except.. not trying to nitpick. You didnt complete your full rakata set in 2 weeks. That and Rift was released with 1 raid zone, Patch 1.1 added the 2nd raid, River of souls. Before they nerved it down the emblems needed for the T2 5man dungeon gear was rediculas fast, it took me 2 days to get my full set. |

Originally posted by Z3R01 [mod edit] And yes, guess what: games are created with different concepts in mind: I don't know how old you are - better to not assume that your posting style is any indication - but you may remember games like Unreal and Quake2? These games catered both to a singleplayer side and a multiplayer side. Bring in Starsiege: Tribes, Unreal Tournament, Quake 3 Arena: the single player component was dropped in favor of what the publishers felt the gamers wanted: multiplayer action. BW did a reverse on that: they created a MMO that focused strongly on creating characters with storylines. (whether that is fitting for an MMO or not doesn't matter) Now, if all players had invested the time into a) going thru all thr 8 storylines and b) not once spacebarring any of the quest dialog, you want to take a guess how many would now actually be playing exclusively "endgame" content? SWTOR's endgame is really just a bit of nice and of the game content, which would work perfectly fne if one didn't overdo it... as most gamers now do... |

You just got done describing a single player game with multiplayer aspects. Congratulations. |

Originally posted by Z3R01 Actually I think that it is perfectly fair to expect any new game that charges as much as the old games to offer as much as they do.
Note to game developers: If your game is going to cost as much to play as games that have 5+ years of content additions and polish then expect to be compared to those games. When all has been said and done, more will have been said than done. |
