ilum changes killed the hype, that was the time to put out something new and exciting, that + the lack of rollback killed the hype completely in it's tracks... now we have 1.2, if 1.2 does not deliver then i know ill not play anymore, and im the biggest star wars fanboi ever, but as a gamer i wont play crap.

I'd agree with you on DA2 for the most part, but it wasn't THAT bad. Lots of people still liked it, and it did make money.

But every other game of theirs were wildly successful. Mass Effect is my second favorite RPG single player of all time. First favorite would probably still be Final Fantasy 2 or 3 from SNES, or possibly FF7 from PS1.

I have some 1500 hours logged between ME/ME2, at least 800 hours on Dragon Age: Origins, probably 2000+ hours from Neverwinter Nights, Baldurs gate, Baldurs gate II, and neverwinter nights II. Maybe 500 hours ish between KOTOR I / II, and a crap ton more on Dark Ages of Camelot and Ultima Online.

As far as I am concerned, Bioware could flop the next 10 games and I still would have the upmost respect for them, since I have been gaming on their games for the better part of 20 years.
If things get any worse, I'll have to ask you to stop helping me.

Vocal majority not minority.

People said the same thing about SWG's community that it was just a very vocal minority and well that wasn't the case. It's the same thing here and after seeing what people are saying I'm with the so called 'haters'.

Extremely dissapointing, currently only playing because I have friends that are playing. If 1.2 doesnt hit the spot, who wants to start a guild on vanguard! That game still looks better than anything out, and they released new end game content. God I wish that game wasn't kicked out the door so early, that game was a let down. I just wish MMO's would learn from other MMO's. This one did not learn, AION, RIFT, same ol same ol. Maybe EQ next? Probably not.

Unfortunately the word on the street is that EQ Next is going the ez-mode, simplified MMO route. Possibly even connected to facebook. Not even kidding.

If this game was free to play I think it would be an o.k game.
If people like you didn't play the game and were off the forums it would be an epic game.
