I guess those nimrods at NCsoft with 100,000 CoH users have yet to get the memo that their frequently updated game of 8 years needs another 2 million users to still be standing strong.

What is it with this idea that any sink in subscriptions marks a colossal failure?
I mean people say WoW, 10 million subs is a failure.
I mean...
Perspective, people.
SWTOR is FINE. The devs have said the subscription numbers are barely declining.

The only good thing about WOW is the vent rage clips on Youtube...LOL...some of those just crack me up
SWTOR is Kotor 3 on a much larger scale. So once you accept that fact, your over-all game experience will improve greatly...

All this talk about Tera being the next big thing is just hype. Yes I tried Tera during the open beta and yes the combat mechanics are very good and the world is good looking but to be honest the questing became repetitive pretty quickly. To be honest it felt grindy and the mobs being constantly re-used without re-skinning them in a lot of areas didn't help alleviate that feeling.

This is just my view and I'm sure a lot of people will like Tera and a lot of people wont so try it yourself and see

Incidentally, I urge otherwise. Tera failed to impress me in any way, particularly in the realm of combat.

The amount of people claiming their mere opinions as "fact" here is hilarious. OP, I felt the same as you. I have 6 WOW 85's and I finally unsubbed the other day. If I'm going to play 2 MMO's might as well have TOR as my sub and GW2 as my f2p. Going back to WOW after TOR really does feel last gen. Although the gameplay is similar, WOW just looks so much more older and no amount of expansions will ever change that.

But then again, these are simply my opinions, not the gosepel according to MMO games...

As the other guy has said, TERA is the way to go. Some people my look at it and think it's a Korean MMO and grindy and has the "fairy" style theme but beyond that there's SO much more in that game. I thought it was just going to be an Aion 2.0 but it's actually a really fun game. You have to pay attention vs boss fights or you'll die nearly instantly. They have a GvG system, a ranked PvP/Political system, open world PvP anywhere you want, and they'll have battlegrounds and arena type PvP before the end of summer.
And the reason games like Tera don't do well is because they Movement Lock the characters during their attack animations. Lowers the technicality and speed of the game.

This is the way I see WoW as.

WoW is ...like meth. It SUCKS and screws up your life

but you keep going back for more and more even though it SUCKS and blinds you from new things. Even if the new things are better things.

THERE we go..that's what my explanation will be
Always be who you are, not what the galaxy wants you to be
