I have not heard anything about them shutting down any servers atm. Nothing official from Trion themselves. So not too sure where you are getting your info from.

Besides, even if they did, it wouldn't be an issue, because their servers are too numerous for the amount of players they have. It will only help the remaining community if they collapse a few of them. I think they are still rocking about 500k subscribers, which is still a fair amount at the end of the day.

As long as a few servers are still up and they are making a profit enough to still churn out content it's good enough for me.

I still raid in Rift, and it's end game currently kills WoWs end game.

3-PVP: PVP in swotr is only 8v8 in all battlegrounds, all classes have 5 kinds of crowd control abilities, so basically the team that uses their CCs last wins. Not to mention in the ball arena, Jedi and Sith are completely ridiculous with their push backs, and they're the only ones who carry the ball anyway

....

And this concludes my whining.


Um, another PvP player just realised SW:TOR is not PvP Centric?

This has to be a troll post. It's actually quite hilarious. Especially since it's title suggests Rift was a fail game, and yet in one of his examples of how SWTOR could be improved, he uses Rift as an example. Almost every sentence was finely crafted to give the impression of a twelve year old WoW player having a difficult time adjusting to a game that is not by design a loot vending machine.

Kudos, OP. Keep trolling!

That kinda misses the whole point of a full-voiced MMORPG. It also means that you burn through quests faster which means you run out of content sooner.

Not to mention that you miss out on the story aspects of the game that Bioware is so famous for doing well. (Imagine playing Mass Effect while skipping all the dialogues. The game would make zero sense)

Anyway, sorry that you aren't enjoying the game as much as I.

The OP is stuck in the WoW speed heroic mentality...slow down and enjoy the story.

Why do people think they can tell the future on the internet?

If you came up to me on the street and told me you know what the future was I'd have you commited.

It's literally impossible to take you seriously when you say something this stupid.

Name the WoW expansion that has 50 levels of questings, instances, and gear. PLUS has 8 classes(an additional 8 that are different cosmetically), full voice acting with dialogue choices, a space combat minigame, 3 PvP battlegrounds, etc.

You can't do it. It's impossible.
