Different MMOs had some of it at launch or shortly thereafter. Again... this is 2012, not 2004. Any company worth its salt would include features that they know players are going to want. Any company worth its salt would research what those features are.

Reguardless of how one feels about WoW, and remember I dont like it either, the game has a lot of things to do and is generally just fun for many people.

People spent 8 years playing WoW. Thats alot of money and time invested just to move to another game that has less content. The better question would be ... what does ToR have that WoW doesnt. Please dont say story because, even though the story and voice acting is great, it gets old and its over fast. How many times do you truely want to do balmorra or any other planet before you start hitting that space bar on anything besides new class quests?
Well...I guess I'm that one person that has NEVER hit the space bar in this game. I put myself in a completely different mindset every single time I make a new character. I make different choices and notice more stuff. How many times you ask? Well...I have 29 alts now. Deleted 2 cause thought I was getting bad. But yeah..I don't spacebar. So there is your answer.

Im glad you enjoy reading the same book or watching the same movie 29 times. I dont mean that as disrespect. Many people do not. I tried and cant do it. It doesnt matter what choices I pick, the outcome is the same. The choices, to me, just give a temporary illusion until you realize that the story has the same ending, plot, subplot. Changing 2 lines of a chapter does not really change the book any. Its like deleted scenes in a movie. I use to watch those on every DVD that I bought. After a while, it wasnt a big deal because the scense were like....someone saying "I cant believe you did that to my mamm!" the actual scene was cut to "I cant believe you did that!"

Hmm..Soluss you seem to be in this thread a lot. Let's get to the underlying issues here. Do you like this game? Do you love WoW? Do you not want to be here but like somehow staying on the forums just for kicks? I'm seriously asking these questions now. Not to be a sarcastic moron or something. I need to know.

So SWTOR needs to have everything everyone wants in an MMO or it will fail miserably? Sadly that MMO will never exist. Arguing that Star Wars should have been that MMO is little more than confrontational troll bait.

/discussion. You have a great evening.

I am in a lot of threads. Unfortunately I am finding more entertainment here then the game. Lets try to answer your questions....

Do I like this game? Yes, love it... just needs alot more. I currently pay and play once in a blue moon. Mostly during raids but I dable on my alts here and there.

Do I love WoW? No couldnt stand it... I was from the Everquest crowd.

Do you not want to be here but like somehow staying on the forums just for kicks? Of course I want to be here but currently there is nothing for me to log in for except the twice a week raids. I do get a kick out of the forums but I am not here trolling. I have issues with the game and even though I am negative about a lot of things... Im here because I want to see the game get better.

So now I am a troll because I think the game is in a poor state atm? I think you should learn what the word "troll" means before you go throwing it around at people.

Did I say that I expect every single feature in game? Nope ... but you asked for a list of features and I gave them to you. Did I say the game will fail miserably? Nope... but you cannot deny its not doing as well as it should have and its getting worse. Its funny that games on a much lesser budget had alot of these features with a much smaller developing staff and here you are defending a shell of a game.

Let me ask you something... if this MMO was not star wars... how would you feel about this game? Lets say this game was called World of Warcraft 2. Would you have even looked at it?

Gentlemen lets try to keep this professional. Everyone is entitled their opinions but pointing figures and bashing someone should not assist you in speaking that opinion.

I would like to say that I do not believe WoW is a "fad". I believe WoW is doing so well because it was the first... the first to do what? The first to do EVERYTHING mass players wanted. Being the first to have a LFG tool, have raids, have quests which assist in the grind to max level, so on and so forth. Now how long can that really hold up? I can't tell you because WoW is still in the top charts.

I however would like to know that TOR having the largest budget to work with than any MMO not to mention the staff etc... not produce a more addictive game. Not saying this game sucks, far from, the content is RICH so rich... but i would have to agree getting to 50 takes a month tops for college students (based on myself and my friends). I would imagine it takes about 2-3months for regular working individuals, could be wrong but that seems like enough time. What I am trying to say is the game does not have enough content from the start. I also found it a little upsetting when I found out that each faction had similar questing areas and by similar i mean nearly identical, the only difference was the class quests... how many quests is that total? 14? Something like that. Oddly I thought (before launch) that the planets would be larger, that each class had its own starting locations and would come together on the same planet sure but still had widely different quest lines, other than simple side quests. What the planets are currently are large side quests hubs housing the linear class quest.

LOL My mate has the same reaction or just plainly say coz it's crap....that's not really a proper answer.

Phew..ok. At least you like the game. And don't worry buddy. More will come in time

BTW...I have a screen that's hooked up to my laptop next to me and on the forums WHILE playing the game That's why somedays I'm here full force.
