The story based gameplay is flawed and might kill the game.

You do realize that story is going to be added through patches. For example, in patch 1.2 we are getting a new planet. Do you think that there won't be an overall arcing story while we are on that planet?

A FEW MINOR SPOILERS HERE:



How much more adult do you need?

OK, OK....move along now...nothing to see here...c'mon folks, move along...nothing to see here...

Are we still pretending that only people who spend all day every day playing non-stop have a level 50? Is everyone supposed to be level 30, and that's why they released new endgame content recently?

Quit it.

I am aware of closed games although NWN (still being played and modded;not being a MMO at all) and RO (still existing) shouldn't be on the list. However none of these died because of a single isolated game-crippling issue only. There's always more to that and it often takes a while. With games like APB being more of an exception to the rule. As no sudden death scenarios.

My point is I have read too many reasons about what will/might kill this game that I was more interesting into how this looks like from a semantic angle rather than in examples.
Most MMOs die slow enough that on their way out they have gathered a heap of reasons where none sticks out too much unless it has been neglected from the beginning.

In case of this game I find it is too early to announce a death sentence of any kind or do a preliminary pre-mortem analysis of why this game will have failed.

Adding new cut scenes and planets is fine, but they are going to have to add more game-play elements as well for this game to be a success.

Right now the game just isn't very interesting. Once the novelty wears, you are pretty much stuck with a single/player action/adventure game with a co op mode at the end, which is how an earlier poster aptly described it.

It needs some depth badly. HOpefully when they introduce the Legacy feature in March it will help some. That's what I'm waiting for anyways, because if they fail to deliver any new gameplay elements and stick to this rather dull "watch cut scene" - kill stuff - "watch cut scene" - kill stuff approach I know I'll start looking elsewhere. That's just not a winning formula, least not from my standpoint.

If I want a good story I'll go read a book. When I play games, I want interesting gameplay with depth and challenge mixed in. Voice-acted cut scenes are fine, but aren't a major factor for me.

WoW is the only game ive ever seen than releases content slow as molasses, and convinces people that every mmo does the same.

Its been a month and we have a new raid and a new flashpoint.

**** with this "running out of story" nonsense.

Exactly...just your opinion.

I havent experienced this. Never seen a single player game that offers Co Op in the form of 8v8 warzones and 16 man raids...

Maybe you should get off of Korriban.

There, I highlighted the main problem with your post. You assume he is capable of rational thought. have you actually read is ludicrous rants?!? How can you make such an assumption??
