All I can say is game was released a good 6months at least too early.
I'm always amazed how wealthy the MMO players seem to be on average based on these quitting claims. Supposedly a lot of people who buy a game and then stop playing far before the 30 days would be full and going back to another game and paying for it too....

All the credit for RIFT, I've played it, but it's not comparable to SWTOR. A good take on traditional fantasy MMO, but it pales in comparison.
Think of this: If you will play a Jedi or a Sith, now you will never get to take your apprentice to fight with you in flashpoints, warzones or raids. You will never face together any of the big end-game bosses.

Have you played this game, or are just playing the forums?

It is a pretty decent metric for certain things, like marketing campaigns.

I found RIFT to be a decent game as well, that had a good launch (for the most part, like any MMO it had problems, bugs etc and there was the matter of a the huge security hole that affected thousands of players that wasn't fixed until a player figured out how to reproduce it and told TRION).

It also launched with far less content than SW:TOR, in a much smaller game world. I agree with your assessment of it being a good take on traditional fantasy, and that was my biggest issue with it personally, I'm just plain sick of fantasy MMO's. I also find SW:TOR to be a far better game.

You don't have to hate a game to know if it's going to do well or not.

Much as I don't think the game is failing I don't think you can count on facebook likes as anything substantial to go on.

Active subs are the only way we are going to be able to effectively measure how SWTOR is doing.
Help me, Bio-Ware Support; you're my only hope.

If it's doing so, it's because some people have anextraordinary capacity to demand the impossible from game companies when it comes to MMOs. And because some people prefer waiting for MMOs to playing them.
