I dunno, for all my gripes about the game, I have to admit that being on a happy, buzzing server like Fatman, the game really does come more alive as an MMO. I think at this stage, the people who are left just want to get that buzz, so the main thing for BW should be getting healthily populated servers.

Blizzard uses a lot of trickery to make people believe they have "10million" subs.
Bingo.

And to the guys that went back to WoW? Thank You. Especially the guy complaining about something they fixed 4 months ago. It really shows how much, if at all, you played this game.

Guild Wars 2 is being billed as a WOW killer.

The only thing that can kill WOW is WOW. And TOR isn't dying anytime soon. Only really horrible MMOs get shut down. Even Vanguard is still kicking.

The game is no giant slayer & I'm pretty curious to see if it will weather the storm of MMOs coming out this year with a lot of potential.
imo SWTOR is worse then WAR... in war we had Goblins xD and the wold pvp was the best i have ever seen.
SWTOR world pvp does not exist, and waiting for a wz to pop on a empty server like were my chars are, the odds of a pop are the same as for a roasted chicken to start mumbling the Imperial March.

How about they fix the server stability and bugs with Diablo III? I, for one am glad I didn't get the game yet. At least SWTOR was playable at launch.

WoW jumped the shark. They piled too much crap onto the game and it's gotten ugly.

While swtor is a pretty bad game I got bored with other MMOs. But Secret World has me interested. Not really into fantasy stuff right now, although the MMOs intended to launch next year in that category have my attention.

What I really think is foolish right now is to have delusions about huge changes to the game which would make it 'good'. It's not as if EA has qualms about gutting a game if it under-performs. But hey, swtor is doing better than that golf game...

BW never said that SWTOR would be revolutionary or even evolutionary. To that end, job well done, BW!

SWTOR... Better than that golf game.™

It has a nice ring to it. If they push that line in their advertising, the game will definitely lose less subs from people who would rather be playing virtual hit-ball-in-hole.

I was playing on Swiftsure and then Master Dar'Nala so population is no issue. I can imagine playing on a dead server with no chance of even a WZ popping would make the game even worse.
