If you were there at the very launch of WoW then you were given about a month free. Not because they pulled the servers down to patch but because the servers went down. WoW didnt even break a million till after a year. It had less subscriptions then TOR has supposedly lost. Its crafting was no better. Took multiple patches to even complete its 40 man raids. Which in comparison to those TOR reins supreme. TOR has a que for battlegrounds/warzones. How long was it before WoW added battlegrounds? How long before they added a que anywhere for them? Even tho TORs world PvP is broken how long was it before WoW tried the same? Silthius. YAAAAY!!! I get to run some glowing sand across a map. No if WoW how it was at launch was put up today it wouldnt even merit your trolling attempts. Not even a blip on your radar because you would still be itching the big AAA game of the year and here you are. If the WoW that exsists today was to launched today... well lets not kid ourselves. No one develops a game for 12+ years and it would of been launched earlier and still had a pleathora of bugs. HAHAHAHA If WoW was launched today. Rift in under a year has done more then WoW did in two.

Aside from a surge when the promos start this game has likely seen its highest subscription numbers unlike the WoW arc. Not that this game doesn't have the same or more potential as WoW but SWToR was dated on release unlike WoW. If this game hit 2-3 years ago, it would be a monster by now. However new titles will come shortly with better graphics, truly innovative game play and while not having the massive story lines of SWToR they will probably succeed in being more fun and less run. All that said, this game has been a success till now by nearly every reasonable measure and will likely continue for some time. IMO SWToR lives up to the Bioware name but certainly not their best title.
WHINING about WHINING is WHINING. My suggestion, post a way to help someone rather than complain about their whining.

If WOW launched today nobody would really care. They haven't made a Warcraft game in almost 10 years. It's just been so long since Warcraft 3. Chuck Norris can only do so much, without the brand name WOW wouldn't of ever been huge. Maybe if it launched today it would be World of Starcraft, that makes more sense. I feel like TOR pretty much can't miss right now. They are following the same formula which created WOW. Capitalize on a wildly popular brand name, and market the **** out of it. When bioware finishes dealing with some of the games issues, and adds more content the game will stay steady at 2 mill subs throughout the year.

Out of the three friends I started with, I am the only one left playing... so hopefully more people join or they expand single player options.
A force of one, yes, the solo player!

I'm still really interested in how this game is going to fair, bashing aside I'd like to know people think on 2 key aspects 1) Was this type of model a succcess? It's no longer working for WoW as it's trying to diverisfy BUT WoW is an old game so that conclusion cannot be backed up. 2) What kind of content are the majority looking for these days? How do you sustain them?
