You NO longer had an account even though you already paid for 30 days when you bought the game. Guess you just forfeit those 30 days unless you agree to subscribe!!!!

 

Way to keep customers.

 

I seriously doubt this MMO will last very long with these type of practices

what are you talkign about. The only people that couldnt log in today are those that didnt add there subscription info to there account.....

I think everyone including the fanbois will admit that the launch has nose dived and so the subscriptions will also after a month or 2.

Shame, another MMO with lots of potential...

Planetside 2 coming next year, a change of pace to an MMOFPS maybe...

i disagree 100%. i think the launch was awesome!!! other then long queues which was expected, my game has been extremely stable and enjoyable!

im in~~

1. theyve already played it.

2. Bioware made it easier to leave the starter worlds.

Its not bad, ut it could be alot better.

1. the can give you a wider rail boundary

2. make the animation movements better.

3. Intergrate it with Flashpoints or operations. 

thsi will be very interesting.

That was funny as hell!!

i agree. he is just trying to throw out some slander because he knows he is about to take a hit. Not to mention that this is the first game that may actually hurt his sales, well between SWTOR and Rift

well if its not for you, then its not for you, but be understood that this is a stress test beta weekend. Your not supposed to have good quality... but i would expect the performance to get better from one weekend to the next.

i think it will grow above launch numbers and here is why:

Granted i think that there will be alot of people who wont like the game... I know the ros and cons well.. I think still most peopel will play it because aboev anything else, it is fun to play. What will really keep them above water is the fact that they are going to make so much money off this launch that they will be able to Keep a large staff on which in turn will kick out product alot faster... 

wife and i have been in beta since August, and teh game has never been that bad at all. There have been tiems where story quests were broken, but it never stopped people from leveling because you can level from Clas quests, reg. quests, PVP, Warzones, Space combat, flashpoints, heroics, world boss kills.... FYI, ive never seen a game at launch have so much content.....

As far as end game is concerned. When you get to end game, u can use Hard mode on all flashpoints, which automatically bring the flashpoints to level 50 Also currenty there are nowhere near enough level 50's in beta to have a good experience with world PVP, especially in Illum, which is humongous by the way. That planet is atleast teh size of tatooine from SWG.

Simply put, how many boxes/downloads does TOR sell this yr. Should be interesting to look back at this thread after next month.

 

I am going with 2.2M

2.2m is too high. It will be over a million for sure. As of nov 12th there are 865,669 preorders for it. It hasn't updated yet and I assume it is over 900k. My guess is with the way numbers have been going 1.2m

That's US only^

Thats US and Box orders only, not digital downloads. last year downloads accounted for 40% of the mmo sales.... he could be right..

Did I miss the part where you talked about crafting?  Flashpoints?  Open World PvP?  FFA PvP on Tatooine?  Operations?  World dungeons in heroic areas?  

No wonder you didn't find much to do.  

 

i was going to say the same thing... maybe he just doesnt liek grouping.. or doing regular quests..  or space combat...well i can understand the space combat, lol...... to each his own.if the main things that attract you to a game dont work for you, then your not gonna like it no matter what.. but i have to say that this is the first game that ive played where i know there are so many different ways to level, that i dont even have to think about it.

this area is awesome.. whats craziest about it is that its even same faction pvp.... teh only people green on yoru screen are your teammates.

been using this thing for years.. cant play games without it, lol

if i understand correctly, tattoine is where you want to be then if your looking for some rvr...... In the dune see its literally same faction killing. the only people that are safe, are teh oens that are on your team.

Man 99% of early access will say they never seen the game as good as this. Just because it takes much more to understand is it good MMO or bad. SWTOR is pretty mainstream themepark MMORPG, so it's exactly what people want. At least at the first glance. So pre-orders won't drop drastically, if at all.

After my first 5 days in beta I was hooked as a 16 years old lad after sex with Megan Fox. And I'm an EVE and Darkfall freak...

gotta agree here. iw as teh same way when i played.... The game isnt for everyone, but it damn sur will be liked by alot.. my only scare is there progression on endgame... if they can keep the endgame on point, and add some extra stuff for players to do outside of combat thats engaging, well this will trully be a wow killer.
