Dosent matter what wow had at launch. It's a 7 year old game and BW is just feeding everyone ******** constantly like the so called "fix" to ability delay.

This quote above is a simple example of their lies to customers. Where are the industry standard features.

it came in a box
with a cd key
and half your wallet.

Industry Standard

I lol'd. So true.

Yes but you should have known what you were buying done some research tried before you buy etc

If you think what you bought is a lemon then its your fault.

Personally I think the game is great

As far as the car analogy goes. Let me try.

My car model has been in production for over 20 years. It's made by Toyota. My 8 year old car has all the options of cars today.

My car is more stable and reliable than some newer car models released today. Enjoy

And yet look at the server population. Big difference, no?

Sure the game is going down in population. The free to play month just ended last week. People are bound to start leaving, and the minuscule decimals of the population decrease don't reflect much of the mass exodus that people were predicting.

And also I'm not seeing how the data reflects either growth nor queues. Max queue across the board is almost universally zero, and the percentages of decrease on servers are higher than the percentages of increase on others.

The game is great yes.
Not perfect, that's true, but a solid alternative to WoW.
And clearly the #2 most successful mmo right now, and I dont see why it would change soon.
So much potential.

And remember that the majority of people enjoying the game arent here in teh forums, they are in the game, playing it. Just passed by because I'm at work, cant play right now

WoW is terrible. TOR wins by a long shot.

the question is, do the game companies care about the grizzled, white-haired arse mmo veterans anymore ?

it was seen through wow that these constituted a permanent, dedicated, but small percentage of gaming world. blizzard found out they amounted to a top 5%, among their 10 million subscribers with that 'which accounts have seen endgame content' research. it means that 9,5 million accounts in wow, have never seen molten core.

500,000 subscribers who played actively for a year or so is something good. and it can keep games going too.

but it doesnt satisfy shareholders.

and, catering to them alienates the rest 95%.

that is why games are 'casualizing' for a long time now. the rest 95% is the target.

market is indeed much different than when wow came out. back then online games were a niche. now, they are mainstream.

and mainstream would care more about this voice acting grand story concept than 'farming the random endgame raid for the 20th time to have a 0.5% better drop'.

..............

game will be a success indeed.

this is the biggest load of garbage i have ever heard....Aoc had what? 30 servers? AoC didn't even come close to the boxes sold in Swtor.
