wrong YOU are wasting your money as you are paying for something you don't like. We are having fun paying for a game we enjoy.


See the difference.

What does an MMO "feel" like? Because every single MMO I've seen, someone always says it does not feel like an MMO.

IMO..it should feel a bit more like a real world than an actual game, if that makes any sence to you?

Just being out in the open with people around you makes it an MMO for me, EQ has (or used to have) it (several groups in every zone, racing to mobs,...), WoW has it, WAR has it, ...

Too much instancing breaks a game but most importantly you need a healthy population. To me the game is good already. If only I would have PvP WZ's popping and if only there were enough people to do FP's, then I could imagine playing this game for several more months...

SWTOR could feel more like an MMO if it stopped calling me at 3AM and shouting filth at me over the phone.

TOR is more of an MMO than WOW is now. But the world needs to be more interactive and there needs to be more focus on social areas like cantinas. Would be nice is they just gave us a mostly empty planet and allowed us to build on it similar to SWG as well

Not really. The Sims felt like a real world and that's not an MMO (there was one but it failed).

Apparently being in the open isn't an MMO either as players asked for instancing.

Everyone has a different idea of what an MMO is. And sadly, they all want one MMO to encompass that idea and screw everyone else who says otherwise.

Success or failure doesn't define what is an MMO.

Instancing has it's place, but too much of it dilutes the world and experience (and it very much over used from it's orginal use in late EQ1).

All a single player game really is, is a game where you're the only person in that "instance".
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too?

Actually it literally failed: The servers burned out and they had to shut it down.
