Not me.

I was a real fanboy, but the clunky combat and lags compared to WoW have got me playing more and more WoW. Also, the end-game is so much better in WoW. I can't afford time for both games, so I picked WoW.

I wish you all the best with this game, and hope it continues to grow.

Cheers.

I am new but I intend to stay even if all the forum problems come to fruition for me. I would never jump into a new MMO with the expectation it would be as polished as a 7 year old game.

I like the design philosophy and I want to help the game grow.

I won't even bother looking at 1.2 as I suspect D3 will keep me entertained for a long time.
I canceled (think I have 12 or so more days left) and am just going to wait for D3 as well. D3 will have more content, a good story, PvP and will be free to play.

I don't know why people are excited for 1.2. It's not adding content with any substance, it's not adressing FPS issues and engine issues, and I doubt many of the bugs will get taken care of. The patch is fixing things that should have been fixed or included in the game before it was released. So its taken 4+ months for them to put together a patch to fix their game... how long do you think its going to take them to release a patch with actual content and how many subs will they bleed in the meantime?

They had a chance to be successful with TOR but by the time Bioware gets their **** together their window of opportunity is going to be gone. All the VO killed this game imo. They should have VO'd the class quests only and dumped the rest of their money into more important areas (they could have actually built their own engine if they did this and a lot of other stuff too).

I agree completely.

I unsubbed due to the server population issues which are still not being addressed till at least the end of this month. Not paying money to sit around and do nothing. They spent so much time developing stories and beautiful VO that it took away from the rest of the game. I think they could of been better off with giving less dialogue and time to the side stories and spent more time on your main quest. Then they'd of had more time to spend on the real issues with the game.
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.

D3 has more content? more story? as if EIGHT EPIC storylines that you shape with your choices isnt enough story.

swtor has eight epic storylines. eight people, thats like eight mass effects into one game. thats a lot of content. and its good story also. GOOD story telling. from your perspective. you make those choices, that doesnt happen in D3

oh and i hate to burst your bubble, but D3 isnt launching with pvp LOL and you thought 3 wz's was pathetic, try NO pvp at all at launch for D3. it was announced.

lol you fanboys putting D3 and GW2 on the pedestal.

sad really. . .

Well I' enjoying the GW2 beta and I'll buy it but it won't replace TOR same with D3...also there are juts as many disillusioned players over on the GW2 beta forums as there are here...maybe even more.

yeah man, the game is just like mass effect, especially in the regard that the end game is completely utterly depressing.

No. What's the point in keeping your subscription when you're stuck on a dead server where all multiplayer content is inaccessible?
