Hey it's my old thread.....I think I will go back to the first pages and laugh at all the "Mass exodus!!!!" and "when the investor call comes round there won't be 500k subs left!" posts.

So lets recap.
Fastest Growing MMO ever
3 GOTY awards
1.7 Million subs and growing
and over 150 Industry awards

Not to rub it in or anything.

You should be happy, and I'm sure everyone else is as well. But these facts are still pretty unclear past the 1.7 million subs and the awards. I'd still remain cautious about still being the "fastest growing" MMO in the coming months. If it continues that's awesome, but just be cautious. It's better that way.

Right as a matter of fact one of my Blogs discusses that; Future content is king.....not only the speed but the quality, that is one thing I am looking forward to discussing at the guild leader summit as well as future end game content for Non-Raiders.

I'd love for you to do that. I'd like to see content for raiders kind of die off. It's an unsustainable model that leads to more harm than good. The story of a game should be accessable to everyone, not just people who can do a dungeon for 6 hours to see Arthas die.

I've been a hard-core raider for most of my MMO Career. Such as EQ1 into POT-B Quarm down. I've gotten the 25m Hard mode title for killing Arthas, killed him a bunch actually. I've killed a couple bosses in orig Nax, did Ruby Sanc Hard 25, nef 25 hard (server 1st), so on so forth.

It needs to stop now.

Just because they were wrong doesn't mean you have to laugh at them. That's not very nice. Be the bigger man.

Agreed and honestly I was being sarcastic in my earlier post...I really wish everyone who bought the game could find something about it to like.

I see your point but what I would like to see is a Big Tent...Raids for those who want to Raid...but not having that as the Pinnacle of the end game; what is needed is the Viable extensive end game for Non-Raiders that the Devs talked about. Ilum was suppose to be much more significant than it turned out for both Non-Raiders and PVP. I'm also concerned that James Olhan dismissed, the Cliff hanger story arch for end game out of hand.....that to me says they are looking more to appeasing progression raiders and that will not stand for the largest demographic that TOR currently has.


My hope is to actually asks the questions about Non Raiders and end game that never gets asked or answered.

And this proves what exactly?

Nothing. People got sucked into trying the game because it SHOULD have been beyond great.

We were bamboozled, if anything this will be the fastest declining MMO in history at some point. People are bored to tears and Bioware didn't fool the smart ones.
