Actually he's quite fair in his assessment and pretty dispassionate.

he makes some very good points, which I think a lot of poeple have been making if not articulating them so well as this poster.

If you read it to the end you realise he is fake,I happen to work with an investor firm and partake in startup investments and also done angel investing. The guy is not genuine, his biggest fail and reason I KNOW why is because he reccomend shutting down game in order to save it. Any businessperson with half a sensewould tell you that will kill your product and investment for sure.

Few exceptions when you do recall a product. This is not one of them.

Also consider this. He is already level 50. He obviously doesn't have a job and judging from who he worked for, he's been unemployed for at least 2 years. Can we really even trust anyone who can't find a job for 2 years, being a "professional".

P.S. That's assuming anything he said is even remotely true.

Man, some of you guys are so freaking gullible. Do you believe everything you read? Or just the stuff you read on internet forums?

If I had less scruples, I could make a killing off of people like you.

Thanks for sharing your opinion in an intelligent way. That is a refreshing change from the majority of the posts here.

That said I think you may be wrong on this one.

You glazed over the Star Wars franchise pull and the clear fact people want a "new" MMO.

TOR is a WoW expansion without Pandas It has a new setting and some new mechanics but it pretty much a WoW clone.

It does have all the features that a WoW expansion should have.

- 2 New Raids
- 3 New Ware Zones
- New world PVP Zones
- New Flashpoints (Dungeons)
- New Gear to collect
etc etc...

This game really is a WoW clone and that is what people want, well at least 11 million people wanted this at some point.

They have a number of things that need to be cloned, like UI customization and flying mounts etc... but for the most part the core of a great clone is here.

This issues will be addressed and more people will come looking for the "new" game and stay as the cloning process gets more and more completed.

I think they have a great model to be successful.

Star Wars + WoW = success
