Well, put! I've seen this growing worse ever since F2P.... When I see a player in a Flashpoint without a Legacy name these days it's fills me full of dread. You just know what's going to happen.... need I say more? I understand the need to get some new blood.. but the f2p model is just not Flashpoint friendly. I hate to say it, but can we please have a similar/same system as most other MMOs, or even WoW...... THe only issues I see, is that you would not be able to roll on companion loot if every one passes or greeds... which also bring me to those that need for their companion, even when there's a class that needs it on the group!

I love vanilla

Welcome to a single player game trying to be an MMO.. I could never understand, when I first join SWTOR, I had to queue for ages.. then when I got in there was no one around?! Yeah yeah, all zones are instanced, but still!! I've been playing Rift and WoW again.. due to my MASSIVE dissapointment with SWTOR.. you know they are supposed to be dead now...??? I've seen more people on those two games in the past two days that I saw on TOR in like a month from launch! I decided (as I've got loads of 85s on WoW) that i'd start a mage on a different server... the starting area had loads running around! You really feel part of something when you see other peopel questing away around you, it adds to the emmersion.

Yeah that I must say was the one of the top 5 things I loved about SWTOR... do you thikn those farmers knew something??

It's just the sad state of the gaming community in general. Many gamers spend their lives shacked up in their rooms, with little, if no day light at all. They become introverted, in their own selfish epocs... i find it funny, when you spend ages grouping for an instance, for someone to say 'Am only here for xxxx, so lets make this quick!'.. or they simply get their Item and then AFK/Log off!!! I seem to forget I pay to play a game for other peoples pleasure and not my own... Don't worry due to costs of maintaining Servers, BW will merge realms soon enough. They are just waiting for the fallout to settle before doing so. I think they also need to get rid of the instanced zones, they are so EQ2!! This will also make zones look a lot fuller....

I want a true Star Wars MMO.. massive, not linear... not something trying to be something it ain't! Star Wars MMO please!!

If you read general chat in Rift, you'd hear it differently. People hated TOR that much they went back to Rift. They have pointed out how Linear the game is, small, tunnel driven and so on.. they even said like I do, TOR is not like a true open world/galaxy MMO. Rift is much better than SWTOR, so is WoW.. I said I'd never go back to WoW!! So I patched it up the other night and started a brand new char on another server.... Diablo3 or GW3 for me.. but until then, WoW it is.. at least I can venture where I want, pretty much level where I want... and so on!! Don't get me wrong, the comcept of being able to play a Star Wars MMO excites me, but not in it's current state.. still hanging here to see what they are going to do to bring this game truely into the MMORPG genre.. i need full emmersion into a Star Wars universe/galaxy.. not a single player game, with some online elements.

Most of the game is tunnel driven, very cleverly in places, but very linear tunnel driven... no openness at all....... linear, boring, boring...boring

NO chance! 1) Way to linear to be an MMO 2) worlds are way to small and instanced, not to mention you are tunnelled around 3) environments are static, so no real immersion 4) PvP - lol! 5) Space - ermm... hello?! BW really need to go back to the drawing board imo. SWG was a very good game for it's time, well, until the stupid changes! I would hae built upon SWG and took itto the next level. BW should have also looked at other MMOs out their, for me a new MMO has to beat it's competition. The only way to achieve this is to do what they do, but do it better....... The game has great potential but not in it's current form. Sorry.

Nope for now

Personally, when this game was launched we had to Q for ages, on a couple of servers.. then they increased the Pop size... now that people have left, or continue to leave.. it makes sense as a company to reduce the number of overheads and servers is one of them so this serves two purposes. 1) cost cutting for BW 2) increase population by merging servers, due to the drop in subs. Personally, they also need to remove this instancing of zones.. I ran around many zones thinking I was the only one. Which made me feel like I was playing a single player game. When in real terms people where in my zone (Hutta for instance) but in a different insance. However, the numebr where still low. The sad truth is, that this game just has not lived upto people expectations, and that's why people are leaving. I've been on Rift and the chat is full of how bad TOR is... same on WoW.... simple facts that relate to the issue that bring BW to merge servers. I'm a great fan of SW and have been sinse I was a nipper (kid). I think TOR is a good game, but it's not what I'd expect from an MMO, nor is it what I'd class as an MMO:confused:.

I said i'd never go back to WoW....... playing Rift atm, but, patched up WoW last night... realy fighting the urge not to go back to WoW.. but nothing else, grabs me...... might start fresh on another WoW server and do it all from scratch

Yeah, SW:TOR is like getting in your car (assuming you can drive ) driving down the road, going basically where the road leads you. Not having the freedom to turn off down a side street when it suits you. Only to get to a 'T' junction, and given a choice of left or right..... ummmm.. both turns bring me to the same place.... Feels like being on one of the tour buses, I was on once in Paris, after an hour I said to our lass 'Get up we're getting of to explore on our own', 'I hate being taken where the driver takes us....' SWG was awesome for it's time.. pre Jedi village.. best commnity ever.... and good emmersion. Hope Tera or GW2 delivers!

Yes, but from an "MMO"???? You should have stuck with Skyrim, and saved yourself money each month.. or payed a few quid for KOTOR.... (hope BW don't find this post unappropriate and mail me a complaning mail again )

But as a Single Playeer game you love the content?? We all did, but we wanted to be immersed into a Massive Star Wars MMO..
