The Old Republic at E3 2012!

I can see what you mean but balancing issues would be a nightmare, player bountys maybe who knows for off the side but really what needs to be done and i think this specifically for illum and any future rvr zones is an operation within it unlocked when you control it on a timer. dailys unlocked via the opposing sides npcs spawning upon you winning the zone and the winning side uses the captured towers to hold back the forces for the dailys and the opposing side get a dif set of dailys for trying to help there npcs get through.

Do that on something like a 1 hour 30 min timer with the chance for the opposing side to knock it down to 1hr if there npcs get through so its enough time for people to flash the operation that drops pvp stuff and we have what i think is a winner.

Well, I'm not an armchair developer, so I'm not going to go into postulating all the ways they can make it work. The bottom line, though, is that 3-faction RvR is what MMOs are doing more now. DAoC started it, it worked great, GW2 is doing it and TESO is going to do it. It's modern, and people obviously want it.

It's up to BioWare to find a way to make it work, and I saw great potential and suspect deeper reasonings behind E3's video of the Hutt Cartel rising as that 3rd faction to take over the galaxy.

I really think there's a lot more to it behind those "closed doors".

BioWare co-founder Dr. Ray Muzyka took to the stage to unveil a new video highlighting only a small portion of the content cm tingo The Old Republic in the next year.

They thought it would draw 500k subs. Stop making up crap, you really don't need to make anything up to talk about the failings of the game.

SW:TOR didn't fail because it needed to be the next WOW killer to make money and failed at doing so. SW:TOR failed because it had a target of 500,000 subs, ended up with 2.2 million in sales, and DIDN'T CAPITALIZE ON THIS AWESOME OPPORTUNITY.

No one at EA of Bioware thought this game was going to be the next WOW (EA has said in both earning reports about this game that they don't understand why the media is so interested in such a tiny, unimportant game they never planned on making more money off of then tiger woods 2012). But it had the chance to be. That's the shame of it.

You seriously think that Bioware spent years and hundreds of millions developing an MMO and leasing out the "Star Wars" brandname... for 500,000 people?
