Some of you folks are truly a curiosity, the level of stupidity expressed in some of these posts is shear entertainment. SWTOR is already in the black, the 1.3 million subs is pretty good incentive for them to continue working on the game.

And all the suggestions of shutting it down are laughable, I think the game needs more sandbox like content at endgame to be better once the personal stories run out , but the statements in here are rediculous.

They have alot they can do to improve this game, no question but get real with the "Guild Wars 2 is the final nail" and "they are gona have to go F2P", maybe later this year if they cant get the needed content in, but right now it's making alot of money for Bioware.

I wonder if SWTOR will be shut down if this new game is an MMO. We don't want two Star Wars MMOs running around in case they get into a fight or something.

 Yep that's exactly right, it's confirmed that the over one million subscribers are being dumped and the game shut down. Lucas Arts said and I quote "SWTOR had no right to murder SWG and steal the subscriptions they had, it's time we corrected that error" end quote.....see the little quote marks? that means it's for realz.

The new game will have dynamic quest events, no endgame and open world pvp, they are calling it "Star Guild Wars 2 the Old Galaxies Non NGE Pre CU Republic".

Mmorpg stands for massively multiplayer online roll playing game, you need an mmofps site.

I think the closest thing around here is Planetside 2, but it's still in developement and it will have a subscription fee.

Last I checked ps2 was f2p

 PS2 (Planet Side 2) is still in developement, it will be part of the Sony Station line up, I'm fairly certain you will have to pay to play the game.

I beta tested SWTOR for many months before release, I still play the game and am glad I bought it.

I dont hate Bioware, I dont care about EA, I dont play anyone elses style or follow a plan or make decissions based on goofballs stuffing garbage into forums.

I would rather focus on what I enjoy in the game, support what has been done that I like as much as I can,  try and add positive feedback and suggestions to Bioware in their efforts to improve the game.

I think it's fair to say in any theme park game that there should be a robust endgame, I dont think it's fair or even sane to post hyberbole and overblown tripe in ignorant hatred of a game.

If companies shut down every game that didn't launch with group finder, more than 4 battlefields, a publisher that was disliked or a game that wasn't absolutely free, there would be nothing to play.

There is alot that I like about SWTOR, there are things I would like to see added, fixed and or removed, but I am going to keep playing based off my feelings towards the game not some one elses outrage.

If you have never played the game or no longer intend to play the game, how could it possibly matter if others do.

Oh that clears it up, but are you willing to "pay server time to play"

I have tried Vindictus and was even more ashamed with it then games like Zone4 and Splash Fighters. I havent played Tera only because I will not pay for a game unless I get a free trial. Even then I doubt I will pay monthly server time to play any game, I would rather just play my Naruto games on my Wii. I want a game based solely on fighting were you have to do combos to do moves or have built up energy to do the move. Not these button mashing games. I have played hundreds of MMO's and have never found one I even deem worthy to continue playing let alone pay for it. I want a MMO like Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Naruto Revelution, or DBZ Budokai. I would even settle for seperate combat, just make it to were I can create a personal fighter and fight people, but NOT LIKE POKIE NINJA, that game is WHACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 So why do you haunt a site dedicated specifically to mmorpg's?

I'm sure Funcom or as you put it "the developers of AO" will jump through the welfare hoop to help all you Freebs.

Discussion? this is a post about the celebration of such an amazing triumph in the gaming world.

I can physically not wait until this game releases, the old game I play has failed and I guess it's being shut down or the devs are being executed or something, there is a post about it here somewhere.

Anyway, now I have lots of time to review this one and report on all it's perfect and amazing content, flawless release and countless subscriptions.

Can you even try harder? Like kudos for effort, but come on man, there is no talent here.

There isn't even a point here...

were you like, "teheehee i'm going to piss off some GW2 fanbois today! teeheehee"?

Cause this has been like actualy discussed, in a real mannor, probably over 1 thousand times, maybe more like 1100, but 1 thousand times for arguments sake.

 You cant help your self can you? it's a compulsion that requires you to post your pointless rebutle to my alleged pointless post.

Play GW2, it's just that simple.

In WoW you run up to the NPC's and they yell "help me dragonkin are attacking my farm".

Finally the breakthrough to the next level of gaming has arrived.

In WoW you would finish that quest, and that is it.

In GW2 that is just the start of something amazing.

 Oh heavens that sounds amazing, and you say that's just the start?

Indeed, there will be reprecussions  in any move they make or any move they dont make, that's not my point.

Lets face it, TOR is a gonner, sleeping with his fail wow clone friends.

Sure if you like the game and not bored or whatever is posted on these boards, good for you but the reality is, the game is dying really fast.

Sad really , Bioware is part of EA, and EA just want fastfood and move to the next project.

 

 

 

 Dead and sleeping? if they consolidate the 122 servers in half, it will be more than most games will ever hope to have.

Between the overblown hyperbole and the chicken littles running around crying the sky is falling, it's a wonder anyone takes anything seriously here anymore.

Most of the claimed oracles who forsaw the games doom, said it would fail before launch and then like the Millerites trying to fortell the end of the world, they just kept pushing the date back hoping they'd finally be right.

Mmorpg members may well be the worst place to try and get an accurate, unbiased account of a games appeal. Most of these people dont even play a game, well other than making the rounds through the forums to spew about everyone elses.

Bwaaaaaa they nerfed my Sith, Bioware are bad.

you know.. mmorpg.com is/was my main site to learn about new games and read gossip

about mmos and stuff although my native language is german, since Im from Austria.

 

sadly, there is a trend where people here are just flaming games without any real truth in

their words. "I played the first two quests.. and I uninstalled" "I played till 25 and because

I found out (insert random lie) I uninstalled" - really ? I guess you are just a paid guy, from

a random company spreading lies.. because if I dont like a game I simply leave it alone.

 

Luckily I bought the game.. and I really have fun, there are pros and cons.. definitly and they have

been discussed already, all Im going to say is: this is the very best combat system, I EVER

saw in a MMO. And thats my main reason why I like this game. And dont start with your so

called expert status cuz you played UO. I dont give a **** about that - I played since DAOC and

was in countless betas and live versions of MMOs.

 

so what I want so say is.. people, ignore those troll threads. check out you tube videos.. or try

the game yourself. You cant trust those mmorpg posters anymore.

That's because back when the site opened the content was much smaller, better but smaller. The unwashed masses weren't here, so you didn't have to make an entire post of hyperpole to get a point across.

I agree with you that the unwarented negativity here has little to do with fact, and more to do with sensationalism.

I dont haunt the forums of the games I dont care for but I dont have time either, some of the shut ins with a million post count and a start date of yesterday have nothing else.

Well said, it's gradual and insidious but over time everything is becoming twitch online. The devolpers cant focus and we end up with less than what any of us actualy want.

I know I'm in the right place because I like rpg's and online rpg's even more so. Sadly I agree with one of the other posters who made the point that the game would be better without any pvp at all. I still have stories to go through, planets to quest on and explore and a multitude of things to do, pvp isn't at the top of my list.
