SW:TOR a average game!

I'd say you're input was more useless and less humorous than anyone else. Note how on the first page I noted all the ways the OPs actual argument was wrong?

Where is your contribution to the discussion?

Your post doesn't even make any sense. Of course WoW has expanded with more starting zones since they launched 7 years ago.


Right now, there is no need for SWTOR to have more. In fact, it would be a waste of development for SWTOR to have more.

Excuse me sir, what do you mean by "you're input was more useless"?

Precisely that. You contributed nothing of worth to this thread. I have contributed something of worth to this thread. You called my input useless, yet you've contributed 0 to the actual topic of this thread.

what i was trying to say is that comparing the launch of a game from 7 years ago to a game created today is stupid.

i would expect a higher amount of content than 7 years ago.

i can try and spell it out in bigger letters if that would help.

If you actually read what I said was useless you would realize I wasn't at all referring to your post about this topic, but that of what I quoted.

WOW started with 8 races so 8 newbie zones. the 2 new newbie zones were added for the 2 new races making it 10 to start.

Why you comparing game from 2004 with game from 2011. A lot of things changed during 7 years and so many games failed during 7 years, because "standard basic" approach.
Exactly same as you would compare 7 years old car and new car. New has to be better, other wise it is no point improve car industry, if peoples keep buying 7 year old cars with it's limitations. What is the point putting loads of money in to research, to actually improve pevious models.
It is called to progress, who fails understand it, fails deliver.

All MMOs evolve over time, imagine a brand new mmo coming out with 10 raids, hundreds of zones, etc but being horribly broken in some way (let's say for arguments sake bad mechanics/class structure/storyline.) Then you have made 7 years worth of MMO content, but nobody is playing your game because it's pure trash.

In all MMOs the way they make money is subscription retention or micro-transaction monetization. It would be both overwhelming to have 30+ raid bosses at launch, but it would make no financial sense since we both know the way MMO gamers are that there would be groups of people who cracked that content extremely quickly.

Basically, it is in our best interests that a game starts small, has a decent core, and builds on it instead of trying to be "super awesome *****in mmo 9000" and delivering nothing but crap. It's not reasonable to put 7 years of development work into an MMO before launch, nobody would back it financially.

I like what I see so far and look forward to 6 months from now when I can actually give an opinion on how this game is, since the growth/development is more important to me than what it is at launch.

And you caught it. You win the internet. Kudos.
