I really doubt there's such a market for space.

I wish I knew where the interview was, it was really interesting.

Anyway, the point being, space revamp would most likely be the final nail in the coffin for this game, not some savior.
I loved SWG space content as well. If Smedley sees that as his biggest blunder all I can say is "wow, just wow".

The only way this title sees 10 million accounts is when it is f2p.

Lol. Good one.

On the topic of the thread, I like the old wise country boy saying.." IF the dog had not stopped to ****, he would have caught the rabbit".

Ok, I tried not to laugh out loud when I read the topic of this thread, but wow, really? You people still believe this?

This game has already reached its peak and it will never grow past that point. At this point its a steady decline into obscurity, though I have no doubt the population will hold at a certain point for awhile.

This game has no chance of hitting even 2 million subs, let alone 10 million. Zero chance, no matter how good of a job they do. There is SUCH a bad taste in the mouth of a lot of players now, and first impressions matter a lot in the MMO genre.

Not to mention that there are a whole slew of actually innovative and new games coming out very soon:

Elder Scrolls Online, The Secret World, Marvel Heroes, Arch Age, Blizzard's 'Titan', Planetside 2, Everquest Next, Wildstar, etc..

Not to mention the biggest release of them all... Guild Wars 2

There is just simply no where for SWTOR to go but down, its already lost hundreds of thousands of subscribers, and I bet the next investors call will be no better, and the one after that FAR FAR worse as GW2 and other games will be released during that time.

SWTORs chance is over.

Id say 20 million subs would not be out of the question...(it would take a perfect space launch on a scale we have never seen...but possible). Discuss? Do you agree or disagree with me? What would you like to see in the Space launch....(while the missions are fun....thats not really space. thats space commendation grinding material).

P.S. However space is all or nothing. if Bioware fails space. this will stay a million to 750 sub mmo. only populated by us star wars nuts....
Let's not forget SWAG.
