People who go back to WoW, don't go back to level up a new toon, like the OP did. They go back to their old Guild, their old friends and their 2-8 toons they have leveled out. WoW is an end-game game.

It's kinda funny when WoW loses subs, people immediatly cry "it's dieing!" Not really, how can anyone distinguish which players left for good and which players left to take a break? What, MoP won't bring back one single sub?

Also, when did MMO's become a pro sport and when did we become fans? It's ok to play multiple MMO's and like them.

sorry but swtor aint a million miles away from wow, if your burnt out then you would in effect be burnt out all together. And the fact that people go back to either play old toons or new ones and get sick of the game shows that they dont do things 10 times better there then here and that infact here does something alot better then there.

Now i can look back at wow and think to myself that was a great game, but it wasnt the game that was great it was the people i was with, the game hasnt changed that much over the years really, yes it has rdf and rrf and cross server bgs and arenas but if your here and not there then obviously something here is better then there.

If people are not happy with were wow is going either with pandas, the real money market or general direction of the game or the new naffed up talents they are trying todo then have come here then obviously something here is much better then there which again shows that wow isnt 10 times better then here.

The atmosphere and friends there might have been better but obviously that isnt the case anymore. And there in is the flaw yet again.

Obviously not as your still here, if you leave someone will take your place as has been shown when that investment company tried to say it was dieing and DE came out and told them it wasnt, now its illegal for DE to say that unless its fact as that influences share prices.

So the only mmo out of the 2 loosing subs in the millions is wow, not swtor but wow.

TERA is awful.

SWTOR is my game

I am not trying to defend WoW, but the dated graphic is what allow MILLIONS of people to play.

Blizzard is good about their game running of wide variety of machines. This can be a good and bad thing. The good, more players, more income. The bad, players complain about graphics and such.

Some "flashier" games require more powerful rigs. This will limit the player base. Not everyone can afford 2000$ rigs (you can build a decent rig around 1k but the general public are not good at building PC either. This is why IT still have jobs )

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.
See the problem with TERA is, what you described above. TERA is a Korean MMO with no Universe that people are familiar with. SWTOR, WOW, Guild Wars 2, Lord of the Rings Online, Star Trek Online, these all take place in a universe we either grew up with as a kid or comes from a another line of games we played with.

TERA on the other hand is a no name game from Korea with no history, no franchise to base itself off of and no real advertising. People are going to login and wonder why the heck little girls with bunny ears are running around, which is why its going to take a big flop when it launches.

The one thing WOW has is that I feel like I'm in a more diverse and interesting 'world' than I do in SWTOR.
