this.......

This game is no where near dead... F2P is not a nail in the coffin... I bet you dont know that F2P works well all over the world. Most games flourish after going F2P.

Reported...for making sense! Very well said and QFT.

Yeah but this is SHAUN were talking about here.....

The answer here is simple. BW will always cave in if they see an opportunity to make a profit... Long story short? Make enough noise and BW will give you ANYTHING you want. It's freaking pathetic.

Well said.

beacuase, i dunno, all ideas arent three word sentences?

Well said.

I like turtles?

Lol nice one!

Sure, if it was'nt SWTOR, it wouldn't get such a bad rap... Does need some improvements though.

Dismiss your companion and group with someone...forever? I dunno what to tell you except for that.

I have the original. I love it. It's very versatile but like anything else it takes some getting used to.

Ok. Go read the OP. He/She feels like SWTOR's world is dead, non living. I've seen worse, way worse and Rifts world is dead, nothing going on, no towns, no people no nothing...that's all. Rift as a game on the other hand is pretty enjoyable. Mechanics are good and graphics are marginally better. So we are not talking about the same thing here. See ya.

I don't think that it's a matter of "sandbox" vs "theme park" design. I think it's mostly due to the media games ate being presented on. We, as enthusiasts simply need "more better" input. When I first started playing games it was on a black and white tv, my first RPG(to me) was "Adventure" on Atari....but I " felt" like I was in game...my imagination was at work... I didn't get that feeling back until I started playing MMOs not too long ago...(2005?) First time I went into Azeroth on a 15" CRT monitor, I was like, literally blown away... Fast forward to today....game designs aside, I don't get THAT feeling anymore.. I'm not burned out on the genre....just the way it's presented. I have(and believe most of us have) become spoiled or my senses have dulled to the game worlds. So no matter what kind of game, be it sandbox or theme park doesn't make a difference to me, so long as I can get that old familiar "feeling" back...And I don't think that will happen until a new form of media is used for presentation.. Virtual reality any one? Maybe some day...
