Yes, this game is doing everything AoC , WAR, Vanguard etc did.
Forums are filled with exactly same kinds of threads, fanbois hopes,,"give it time" "it was just released" "they are working for it" "it is weekday/holiday/workday/evening/day". I have seen this same pattern in so many games that didnt make it on their release and first "honeymoon".
Sadly, SWTOR is a mediocere MMO at it's best. It is missing most of the things that gets ppl hooked, it is missing living and breathing world and many bad designer choices are breaking the immersion. Too much effort is put to cutscenes and voice acting, it gets old fast and doesn't make it easy to expand the game world.
Just as all the games that failed. I would give it around 3-6 months before it is only a game for few hardcore fans.
