Well I did play a lot GW2 during this weekend, it is a great game I did have fun... but I gotta be honest, SWTOR is better in my opinion... sadly all my chars are in dead servers so since I'm not having fun anymore with star wars I'll probably play GW2... if I could play SWTOR with PEOPLE and not by myself (15-20 people at fleet at peak times) i'm pretty sure I would stay in TOR so hurry up and allow server transfer :P

You didn't get them for free, you paid $12-15 a month for them
How do you measure the success of an MMO?

Well... reading most of the GW2" posts I come to the conclusion that it is Not the game for me. I continue playing
that old timer Mega MMO and hope SWTOR continues to grow into something more then it is now. What I mean by that... SWTOR is like a well written book. However, after the last page (level 50) ..... nothing.

Just fighting for the sake of fighting (PvP), or collecting some crappy items (live events) is not my thing either.
I hope the next SWTOR Expansion will continue the PvE RP story... if not then the game looses my interest.
Having Fun, not frustration

That is correct, you supose to pay a fee for this kind of things... maintenance, new content, etc ... nothing is free, don't fool yourself

hey guys, i think alot of you are forgetting that structured pvp is coming in patch 1.3

and 1.3 is coming out before GW2. . . . soooo. . . .

and this just went into the suggestion box - its a way to encourage/facilitate/supply TRUE open world pvp:

as we all know, GW2 is right around the corner, and what ppl are most impressed with so far, is the WvWvW crap. well swtor has something GW2 will never have: potential for OPEN WORLD pvp.

here is a way to have a constant supply for that open world pvp:

i just looked at a few vids on character creation for GW2 and stuff and tbh, i think ima stick with swtor. dont get me wrong though, the characters look almost real imo! graphics really capture what i love about high fantasy. BUT swtor isnt a bad game either and bioware proved that all they need to insinuate TRUE open world pvp, is a world event. i say take that rakghoul ****, and convert it into some type of weekly, so there is always a supply of open world pvp.
the incentive: a sort of currency we can put towards specialty items pertaining to SW lore/universe AND legacy unlocks.

wouldnt that be amazing? we can earn a currency that we can put towards legacy unlocks. and no one is forced to pvp just like the rakghoul event. the option and instigation for open world pvp will be there but the lowbies wont get steam rolled.

this is a great suggestion and i would appreciate votes and feedback as to what you guys think

What people don't realize is that this was only a beta weekend for GW2 so they could get feedback and change things.

WvWvW is a million times better than world pvp. Seriously, if you think random encounters while you're questing is better than assaulting keeps with seige weapons then you've never done anything like RvR's or GW2's WvW

I can't explain how epic it was spending time in the huge massive world they created for wvw. My character will probably never leave when the game launches.
