The answer to the question is YES...of course it is! It’s STAR WARS! The problem is that SWTOR can only be seen on a gaming console / monitor, whereas, STAR WARS the movies are seen on the BIG Screen and TV for all public consumption. Therefore, the fan base for SWTOR is much less.
Even through word of mouth, my attempts to talk the game up among friends does not yield any interest. There seems to be only a select core of people who take interest in this game. Strange...because this is one of most AWESOME games I’ve ever played. I’ve played all the others like: WOW, dragons age, guild wars, etc...and I find myself returning to STWOR, time after time!
To the marketing crew of EA and Bioware, you’ve always had a winner of a game here - from the beginning. Why aren’t you doing more to promote and advertise this game to a larger audience?
Sadly, the forums are inundated with each person’s feelings and diatribe of what they think the game should be. But when it comes right down to it, everybody loves to play this game - who’ve played it!
My personal feeling is, why keep future expansion knowledge to yourselves when you have a player base that is screaming for more content? Why not keep them informed on your future plans, to whet their appetite and keep them playing the game in anticipation of that new expansion? The “tight lip” approach only tires the player base, they lose interest and leave the game for something else.
Don’t get me wrong, I am a loyal consumer of the game. I’ve spent a ton of money as a dedicated subscriber, and I been playing for years. I want nothing more than for this game but to grow again and continue to thrive.
Personally, I hope the developers have a HUGE SWTOR PROJECT (expansion) just waiting to drop that is much like the original, class based game. With hundreds of new quests, dozens of new planets, captivating new story line with vanilla dialogue and cut scenes. Large planets to roam around and discover. Bosses galore, lore objects to find, etc.
STAR WARS isn’t going to go away anytime soon! People are craving more!!
Just something to think about.
