You do know that Diablo 2, despite being 12 years old, still has a huge amount of people playing and was still one of the top 10 selling games in 2010. While it is not a MMO, it will still break sales records because millions upon millions of people have been die hard Diablo fans for 16 years. You must be pretty new to pc gaming to call Diablo 3 'flavor of the month'...

A lot of players in my guild - especially the younger ones - don't share this. I for one will take a week off and do nothing but eat pizza, not sleep enough and play D3 till I can't keep sitting up straight ... just for all the fun and memory of Diablo 2!

D3 will be fun for what it is, It will not replace for me anyway this game. A great distraction for sure though

Hey devs, when is TOR2 coming out?
We've been playing this game long enough already and we all want to hear new about the next game in the franchise already.

Anyway for a serious answer I would guess July.

Nothing BioWare does is going to keep people from going to GW2. Those people have already made up their minds. The best thing BioWare can do is continue to work on things to improve SWTOR, and not rush anything out the door just to beat a competitor to release.
Good will always triumph because Evil is lazy.

I too thought there was some official word about more regular content updates (and once a month is what I remember too).

Anyone have a link for that?

Once a month is too frequent. Every Quarter is much better.

Part of reason lots hated Rift. They did monthly lots could not keep up with it.

Nah... just that it's not an end all be all game. People will play Diablo 3, but they wont permanently stop whatever else they are playing.

Agree with that. Diablo 3 is a RPG so most will just play it to the end then stop. A few will do the Multiplayer option longer.

GW2 has openpvp....bioware at the moment has zip for openpvp...with openpvp you can make you own freakin content. Live by the sword die by the sword. Bioware "will" feel the hurt in subs when GW2 goes live.
