Never played Rift, it must have been horrible if the mechanics here are better. I still think you're fooling yourself though, you come across as playing this purely for the story, and I think if the story was stripped away and you look at the raw mechanics, the game is a lot less to look at. LotRO had better MMO PVE mechanics. WoW has better MMO mechanics (or at least it did back when I played). GW2? That's not even a fair fight.

The only thing this game really truly has going for it, is story and writing and its license. All of which would work better in a single player KotOR sequel.

Lets Look at the bigger picture, how much of a deterrant is seeing that SWTOR lost 400,000 subs this quarter going to be on new players thinking about buying this game rather than any of the other big summer releases.

It is OK to discuss numbers as of a particular date for non-financial things like this in an earnings call. An it is OK for them to be outside of the quarterly reporting locks. It is often done in many segments of the marketplace.

You are trying to mix an apples and oranges discussion.

And companies can continue to comment on things like subscription numbers between quarter ends too IF they want to. Mostly though they keep it pretty general to give broad brush information rather then specifics. Just like companies can give investors and analysts new "guidance" at any time about their current quarter, or upcoming quarters or entire reporting years.
When you find yourself surrounded by hostile Clowns... always go for the "Juggler" first.

I kinda due... I assume it's that if it is still sealed then it's in "mint" condition and like brand new.. where as if it's open it's "used"

Teamwork is essential; it gives the enemy other people to shoot at.

How do you measure the success of an MMO?
