Would you play an "offline" version of SWTOR (maybe for a lower monthly fee)?

As much as I wish they made this game SOLO RPG. It's not and the way the game is designed. (Early Stages 1-10) and the fact that you sometimes need help in beating that elite that seem's to be two levels higher then you this cannot be done.

Oh how I wished they made KOTR 3. It would have been released sooner and I would have enjoyed it more. The idea of the MMO is good in theory. However to actually bring a game and make it more interactive.

It just wasn't thought through. I hate having to walk across the map 45 minutes to get to one zone. Even though General Chat is filled with trolls it's still better then being alone. The way this game is set up "go kill x amount of mobs"

Just makes me want to re-install dragon age orgins and play it from the start. However I doubt very seriously they would allow two seperate play's. One offline and one online for a lower monthly fee.

However long term's I don't know how this game will do. Even wow lost 2 million sub's in under a year last year. With their being no content there untill 2013 easy to perdict they will dip below the 10 million mark.

Now with SWTOR. It's fun don't get me wrong. I love shooting blasting lighting and I even enjoy some warzone's but after a few months people that re-rolled may get bored. That's fine for 15 dollar's a month it's a good deal.

I just think people were expecting something like guild wars 2 has. I watched a video of guild wars and it said quoting "Grinding is not acceptable to us. It's not fun" and they are right but yeah.

Would you be happier playing it offline with no other players around? Would you do so if it only cost $5 per month to play offline instead of $15? (to cover the development of new content)
The offline version is exactly what it should have been anyways. This game is not an MMo.. at least not one they should charge for.

This idea is silly.

Besides, I don't pay for an MMORPG for new content. We'll wind up paying for expansions anyway with way more content than any patch. No, I pay for MMORPGs because I understand that there's an impressive infrastructure behind all of them, and that's expensive. You don't need a data center for a single player game.
Except it's not strictly a single player game....

No, because without the online feature I wouldn't be able to play with an international group of guildies.
Not all who wander are lost.

So I guess WoW isn't an mmo either. I can get form 1-85 without grouping or talking to a single person.

WoW is a piece of trash that is made for the common idiot. It shouldn't be referenced as an MMoRPG.. It is just a MMo bordering on farmville status.

If WOW is Farmville what's this? Checkers Online? Tic-Tac-Toe, the MMO?
