With the amount of money Bioware spend on this game, if they didn't take that prize the game would be a clossal failure. Also, within the first free month they've already lost more subs then a lot of MMORPG's have.
Our lack of a proper LFD tool will black out the sun! Then we shall cancel our subs in the shade!

Is the game perfect? No. Is WOW perfect? NOPE. Is this game a failure? Nope.

Is this game a failure? Nope. You have to judge something on the scale of it's operation. As it stands, SWTOR is a success with the numbers it has hit. Nobody can dispute that. The fun part now is speculating what the future holds for it. 1) Will it's release in new markets bring in a lot more players? 2) How tired is the old format MMORPG market? 3) Was Voice acting a good decision in the long run? 4) What are the playstyle demographics of the player base and what kind of content gives them a hook

Yeah 80-85% resub rate is horrible. <rolls eyse>

No MMORPG can hold that kind of retention, unless the game grows it'll drop to around 700k-1.1million players

It is doing well thus far and I expect it to remain.

I mean if this game used a different IP would it have been able to hold that many subs with its mechanics? I love this game but I would say no way.
