ToR isn't going anywhere either. It has had one of the most successful MMO launches in the history of MMOs. It is also the fastest growing MMO ever, DESPITE all the optimization problems.

Does anyone even consider the fact that Swtor targest sci-fi fans, and WoW targets fantasy fans? Those 2 don't go anywhere. Fantasy nerds stay with WoW, potentially go to Guild Wars 2, but they're not touching Star Wars. It's not the **** they're interested in.

Perhaps Blizz pissed them off with their new Pandamon expansion. Guess what, they're still not going to play Swtor because they're not star wars fans, just like how sci-fi fans don't give a **** about WoW.

I don't give a **** about wow, never will. Won't give a **** about Guild Wars. Star Wars is here to stay. The end.
So a person that plays wow cant be a sci fi fan and a fantasy fan? And starwars is more space fantasy then sci fi.

I agree with you on alot of other points, but not that one.

Some folks think this is a zero sum game. It isnt.

I guess it was good for a laugh, but really I just read that WoW had just lost more subs.

TOR is a LAGFEST and BIOWARE have no clue how to fix it.

It will never compete with WoW. They're not as competent behind the keyboard as Blizzard employees are.
If after my 2 month game card runs out, TOR isn't running without memory leaks and stuttering on my HIGH-END MACHINE (and everyone else's), I won't be re-subscribing.

If this game is so great then why do so many people that love the game spend all their time in the forums?

Blizzard says they only lost 100k subs. LOL ya right you did. How is that that 2 million subs suddenly appear to play this game with no impact to wow's numbers when this game was hyped beyond belief.

Someone is fudging the numbers at activision to save their job.

Not really. Their job is to make money and so long as they get subscribers and meet their quota then if the job's too hard they won't care.

But honestly, BW is fixing some of the code related issues. I've already noticed an increase of fps on fleets and that sprint after death off and on thing was taken care of in the last patch. They're also fixing the modification limitations and that's a biggy since it allows more options in visual looks.

All in all, yes Swtor has problems, yes BW is trying to fix them, yes there will be qqers and griefers and idiots and whiners and everything in between, and no nobody cares that BW employees also need to have lives and can't sit in front of a computer monitor slaving 24/7 to fix all our personal problems.

Heh, so what, SWTOR doesnt exist and millions are not playing it? Logic isnt your strong suit, is it?

Not really. I would expect most people to keep their WoW sub going for the short term, even if they intended to eventually cancel. My WoW sub is still going...alot of people stop playing but let their sub stay active. If there is fudging going on, its the Chinese mystery subs theyre always on about...they dont report the NA/Europe subs, which I'm more interested in, as they actually have to buy the game..
