I wish GW2 success. There is a place for many games in this Universe, especially if they are F2P.
But lets face it. There is ONLY one game called STAR WARS and with constant improvement it will have a steady population, because there are bazillions fans of SW.
We, who like the feeling of lightsaber in our hands will give BW all our support and patience.
And I am sure we will be rewarded. In time this game will be exceptional, it has incredible potential it has tons of history and it has loyal fans.

Thank you Bioware for constant improvement of the game and for exceptional treatment of your loyal subscribers.
Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.

The Secret World killing GW2 is more likely, assuming people are fed up with medieval fairytales and prefer adult oriented survival horror in a modern world setting

It's like playing Skyrim alongside any other MMO.
Why pay $15 dollars a month when you can play chances are the best MMO made for free? That's what most people are going to do. More so then that the Dev's over there are working with the players on making the world bigger and better. And it's not like Skyrim it's an MMO not a single player game that well could have been so much better.

I'm going as far to say that from the beta alone GW2 is going to be the game everyone plays.

All I know is that I will most likely play GW2, but not right now, or next month. I will wait probably until the fall of this year if the game comes out in June just to see if it gets any traction and takes off.

One other thing, I know of 7 people in my guild who on Thursday were excited about playing on Friday. I did see a couple of those 7 Friday night playing SWTOR and on Saturday, all 7 were back playing SWTOR and not playing in the GW2 beta weekend. Unless it was only for 24 hours or there was a problem with servers or something.

I did ask how the game was and all said it was ok. Then the subject was dropped and we moved on with our OPS.

I don't know if I'll play D3 either. I don't like how you can't play offline and I don't like the real money AH. I'm sure it's going to be a great game though, I just won't be playing it.

Didn't read the rest of your stuff because your first sentence is completely false and proves that anything else you say is just more ignorance since you know nothing about the game, you haven't even seen a screen shot of the game. Please show me a screen shot from a PS1 game that looks like this

and not a screen shot from a pre-rendered cinematic sequence in a game
How do you measure the success of an MMO?

You keep on believing that big guy, I am sure all your dreams will come true.

GW has absolutely no appeal to any gamer who isn't primarily a PVPer. Interestingly enough you will note that other than GW the games that primarily focus on PVP are long gone, so doubtless GW is doing something very right for PVPers however that doesn't mean EVERYONE wants to play it.

Yeah, people being fed up with medieval fantasy settings sure killed Skyrim.

It's about smooth, responsive gameplay and expansive worlds, people. Setting and voice acting can't save a game set in an enclosed, instanced world that plays like crap. Bioware would have to rebuild SWTOR from the engine up to fix it.

Hello there, folks! We wanted to drop a quick reminder. We understand that people may wish to use other games as comparisons, but we do ask that this thread continue to stay centered around Star Wars™: The Old Republic™. Thanks for your understanding!
