you are wrong it was released in the south pacific as an English game but it has not been released in China or has it been converted to any other languages in that region.

It will be a big deal when it actually gets released in China.

A string of controversial games and decisions along with missing their Q4 guidance and then coming in below analysts 2013's expectations will do that to a stock price. Tying it all to SWTOR is silly, but it definitely wasn't EA's savior.
What I want: 1) Dual spec for me and my comps 2) missions where I fight with all of my comps at once, we are a team 3) playable comp-only missions 4) Free flight PVE and PVP Space combat (i.e. X-Wing multiplayer) 5) Instanced areas that change based on our story, sand-box areas that are open.

I feel sorry a mod had to actually just write that, "We know that the topics of micro-transactions, free-to-play and EA stock in relations to the Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ is a popular topic right now."

Losing 400k subscribers as of May (honestly likely more now) is not 'growing' unless I have been taught the wrong definition. Additionally being forced to condense nearly a hundred servers into 10 or so is also not a sign of growth.

I am not trying to be a jerk, but please know your facts before you spout this sort of nonsense.
12/20 to 1/20 = 1 month. 1/20 to 2/20 =2 months. 2/20 to 3/20 =3 months. 3/20 to 4/20=4 months. 4/20 to 5/20 = 5 months. 5/20 to 6/20 = 6 months.
Six months is accurate.

Pump the game up in China/Korea/Japan... they love MMOs over there.. they eat up WoW and Diablo like Quater Pounders on welfare day.

EA losing 50% of it's stock value since the SWTOR launch? Ouch. What implications does this have for everybody's favorite MMO in space (besides Eve)?
I think it's time to break out the pencil and caluclator and possibly profit off emotional investing. games have proven to be resilient in a down economy. Nowhere near half of the companies real value is from SWTOR or it's future potential. So time to look at some ratio's and think about taking a position.

There is a great myth that the stock market is rational. It isn't. It's emotional as much as rational.

If the game goes away then it goes away. If it doesn't I will continue to play it because I enjoy it. It really is that simple for me because I don't live or die by this stuff. I mourn those who do.
Can we please just have our pre-KotFE SWTOR MMORPG back?

You better not ask my (further) opinion on stock investors and their fictitious, socially harmful, untaxed, untamed, savage and quasi-mindless capital.

But I must that their iron fist struck someone that I always wanted to strike: EA.

And I daresay that EA is going to have a bad time this and the next year. Being optimistic.

So I am rather pleased and not resubbing.
