This game is TWO MONTHS old.

SWToR is actually the fastest growing MMO in history so far, oh ya that includes its competition!

You must not have been around when the thousands of other threads on this topic made it to 30-40 pages...

I'll sum it up for you: While the game may be new and while other titles may have the benefit of years of development, TOR has to compete with games that are out and playable today regardless of when their competition launched.

Why?

Because their competition offers me more for the same price. TOR cannot afford to hide behind "two months old" when other games give you more.

The onus is on the team to deliver a game worth the monthly subscription, and I think where people find fault with TOR is that it doesn't compete well. So people move on to those games and leave TOR behind--which is not what anyone wants.

And.. judging by the number of people saying they are leaving and the number of people asking for server-mergers, it also the fastest failing MMO of all time.

The game is based on one of the largest IPs of all time, of course it was going to get a lot of box sales.

Neither you nor I know at this point, how many players have left, or not renewed their subscription.

A few more months will tell that story.

6 years development and $300m spent on it, and we got a fancy single player online game.

Before you go jumping for the reply button, remember the end game was completed by some within the first week of launch and was deemed meh.

Pssst guess what? The loud minority who post constantly negative crap on this forum are attention whores who think everyone should view this game the way they do. General discussion forums are never a good indicator of performance on any MMO. If you look at the WOW gen chat forums you'd think the game died and went F2P.

Actually, we do know how many... if you bothered to keep up with the game news. Swtor sold 2 million copies of the game for launch, of which 1.7 million kept their subscriptions. Now they are over 2 million again with more players coming in.

As for your comment about "6 years development and $300m spent on it, and we got a fancy single player online game." please see my above statement about: If you don't like it, don't play it! Honestly, we would prefer to have you gone then to listen to you cry all the time.

And finally, on the end game content completion... that statement just goes to show that a lot of people sadly have no life. Me, I prefer to experience the game content instead of bustin balls to 50 then crying cuz: zomg there is not a ton of content here already! Do I have some level 50 characters, absolutly. Now I am working on my other toons as well as gearin up my higher ones. 8 characters, 2 factions = a lot of content with more on the way. Oh, and I can still have a life.
