hahaha... Soon (™) You know, I've been playing since Pre-launch and quit months ago but watching you people constantly paraphrasing your own words around Soon (™) is something beyond credibility.

Soon

Don't worry, a lot of people have been doing the same and then giving up. I remember, when first hardcore players started whining about lack of end game and etc. in the first month, a lot of people told them to go to wow as if they knew any better. Look now, you'll mostly see fans and people who regret for paying a single penny for this game. People still expect things from bioware .. and that amazes me considering how people don't even care to realize wth is going on. A lot of people blame community, but this one that at least posts about the missing elements in the game before quitting. For months people literally spammed the forums to report bugs and then with many deleted threads a lot of people found out that bw doesn't really care for in-game reports and just copy paste the already-written "hmm okay we'll take a look at it" messages. I've never seen such a frustrating gaming company before, it is almost like they are scientifically testing the customer psychology.. Awesome job BW, I wonder... if we will ever have a chance to play a decent SW MMO after your failure.

really ?? is that why there are still people playing the first MMOs like UO and AC1 ? Don't make up reasons, just accept the fact that SWTOR failed big time, and it is admitted by EA. Oh and, never blame the customer for a ****** meal. Ever heard of over-marketing a bad product ? People get frustrated and feel cheated by companies. That's why disappointment turns into hate. Before you come up with such conclusions, learn to search threads from different pages on these forums. You will see why this "precious" game failed, they deserved this for continuously lying to people with fake promises. Cannot be happier lol.

Awesome post and I agree, forums are far more entertaining than the game itself.

Are you kidding or being sarcastic ? UO is still one of the top games with (imo) widest range of sandbox options, those who love sandbox elements & RP are still playing it ( including me). Besides, even after EA purchased UO, since game has solid systems, of course it will not easily die because no matter how "good" you get in that game, there's always something to do. Asheron's Call is by far my favorite MMO, and by comparing SWTOR with it I realized how SWTOR feels super static. Think of AC's map, dynamism, sandbox elements and furthermore; even after all those years that game still has live events every month, with new updates. Did they change the graphics ? no . Are they really working hard to please their loyal customers ? Absolutely. This is also one of the major differences, here Devs knew they were going to get lots of negative feedback and it probably scared them, but closing your eyes and running away from such loyal player base is not acceptable. Continuing with the same example, why do you think AC 2 failed ? I think It was more like SWTOR compared to AC 1. In other words, the game was not really dynamic and had no depth. If you really enjoy the game, I am happy for you but if you look around you'll see the game is almost in coma now. I have been playing MMOs since 1999, and must say I have never seen such lack of management in any mmos.

i wonder what a lot of experienced mmo players were thinking while stubbornly investing into this game no matter how bw "handled" the problems. wasn't it obvious enough ? you don't have to have mba to realize what's going on .. as a lot of people predicted during pre-launch, this is exactly what a lot of hardcore players thought would happen 6 months after game's launch. well, most of us didn't listen, even insulted those people on forums like today's fanbois.

I made this my signature, thank you. There is also Errm... It's star WARS.. you see, today in theme park mmos especially like SWTOR, combat is basically the main aspect of the game. But I guess you were mostly dancing during HMs..

The minute they get fanatic i stop arguing with them because as you can see they tend to hate those who disagree. I could've approach with a similar attitude but there's no point. I guess they can get over their fanatism when numbers are announced in August ( well, free trials are on the way though..) . Chat bubbles were only a single example from many but fanboy rage is making it difficult for some people. I've reported many bugs including item display bugs to map glitches.. But you see i have to be a hater because i am not happy with the game.. How come you are so blind ? Go check some different pages on the forums, different sources.. All I can say is blindly defending will not help the game. But if that's how some people satisfy their sad ego, i guess we can only be sorry for them. There are even those who feel like they rather own the forums and can decide on who should post here, haha.. I will no longer check these forums. Enjoy the game.

I simply don't care what you think, but if it's going to make you feel better I made at least 12 people buy the game, keep their subscriptions for at least 4 months, reported several bugs, and in fact ( if you check the Sith Inq. forums ) I posted a lot about a few specific bugs. Then I got really mad when CS didn't care and when I witnessed how BW started censoring peoples' thoughts. Like OP, I was very happy with the game for months then I realized what's going on. I supported BW since early days of Baldur's Gate 1 ( when the company was called Black Isle ) and I don't even want to mention how much I wanted to enjoy a star wars MMO. I gave up, quit the game and check the forums once in awhile to see what's going on. One last thing, I started playing in pre-launch. At this point it is somewhat impossible to remedy some of the problems, because one of the biggest obstacles for game's improvement is the game's engine. Do you think BW really didn't try adding chat bubbles ? lol. Please check the previous pages like 50th, 110th, or I don't know. You will see what happened. I know I probably sounded like a hater there, I understand that but.. 1 to 1.3 million ? really ? Edit : if you guys are enjoying the game, I am very happy for you. Hope you guys can keep the game alive.

this made me lol.

No I am simply amazed how players are trying to silence other players here, sorry if I missed your post(!). And no I am not strawmanning, but put me in your place, I am simply one of the many here. You should be the one questioning your posts if more than one people are asking the same question to you ! I am not saying "stop liking or defending the game !" here. I don't care if you are an employee or not. When people silence others, there's no way the player base can give an objective feedback.

I truly wish my experience wasn't negative nor boring. But if you think I am qqi'ng then you might reconsider what you just posted since it appears as if you are the only one with valid points everytime I read your posts here . It's all qq when people criticize right? Oh and Jeramie, I remember how people asked if you were an employee or not and how within few seconds all those posts got erased.. So ..yeah..keep playing your game. Enjoy while it lasts with two digits K player base ROFL !

Of course you had ( you know what I mean.. ) Hmm let me see... Is there a reason why forums are full of bug reports and frustration, along with posts showing how CS people just copy paste standardized answers in the game then never care or simply censored by BW ? If in game reporting was working why all these people including me post bugs on the forums ? You see.. the very same people also happen to indicate that they received nothing but automated messages or their reports were simply erased ?? Oh hey Jeramie by the way, I want to ask you.. can you ask your friends why it's taking sooo long for them to fix even the tiniest bugs like Rakata Forcemaster's Chestpiece's display bug ? This is a very nice written post in my opinion.

you mean like the way they are reading in-game bug reports ? LOL.
