What SWTOR will be

Genius.

What MMO community has dubbed this game a failure? Some trolls on the interwebz? The same one that has been labeling WoW a failure and terrible game for years? Or the one that claims WoW is the best MMO ever made? Or the one that is completely indifferent to themepark MMO's and prefers sandbox games like EVE? Or maybe the group that still prefers old school MMO's such as UO or EQ?

You overestimate the influence of one small part of MMO players. For one, the MMO community at large is fractured into so many different groups, all with their own likes and dislikes and everyone has an opinion. There is no consensus of MMO players and there never will be.

"Please, oh great one, might I have the lotto numbers for the next draw?"

Fanboys are just as annoying as haters. Enjoy the game, great. Good. Just don't kid yourself. MMO companies make mistakes all the time. This is clearly not the same "for the gamer" BW that developed KOTOR and the other games a lot of people love, your blind faith in them is not warranted. At all.

I remember seeing such posts in the DCUO and WAR forums, too.

i want half of what they paid you to say this.


no seriously, i love this game and yes probably it will get better over time ( even more)
but dont get to optimistic, we all now MMO's have their do or fail point

Roflmao... Who are exactly haters in your mind? If I say that game currently is unplayable garbage. Am I hater? Fans taken things it to very extreme, I see. What you trying prove?
If BW will not sort out current bugged mess, they might don't see any peoples "crawling" back.

I feel the OP is being VERY overly optimistic of this game. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love this game and the only problem I have with it is the ability delay, I think the GTN is great, space combat is loads of fun and I don't really care if most of the quests are pick-up and kill quests, BioWare is at least making them 50 times as fun as any other game has.

That said, I highly doubt SWTOR will become the alpha dog in the MMO genre, though it will probably be very high on the list. At least until we see if GW2 can keep their promises (which I also highly doubt). The game is absolutely magnificent, but the MMO genre is mostly filled with the people who want to be treated as a special little snowflake and have the game catered to them in every single way. Which will lead them to whine and moan about every little thing that doesn't please them in some way.
Sad, but true.

I am, however, optimistic about that BW has some great plans for the future and will do better than WoW, but since most people began their venture into the MMO-world on the S.S. World of Warcraft, it probably won't topple it.

This would be an enjoyable game if they fixed all of the gamebreaking bugs and made a usefriendly UI, currently i am not going to sub for next month unles i see improvements on bug-fixing and a better UI.

Cant wait for GW2 and D3 to be released.

hate to bring it to you but D3 isnt that wonderfull as i had hoped it would be, after all those years of waiting....kinda sad, but thats my opinion. PLayed beta and what they showed there is not gonna bring me in. but it was beta so maybe things can change

Atleast in the past Blizzard's releases have been playable, and not hidering you with a massive amount of bugs. Sure, there has been bugs in their releases, but nothing to major imo. SWTOR just has to much buggy crap to be enjoable right now.
