Broken Promises or Unrealistic Expectations?

Yes they did. They went out of their way to explain how this wasn't server merges too. lol

Awesome for someone like me who can't get all 16 characters on one destination server. On one of my original servers (on which my guild was placed pre-launch) I'm usually the only one on the server now lol. I can't transfer off either as my destination server is full.

Awesome and Briliant transfer scheme Bioware!

I am glad the forced move (where are my chars going btw?) and closure of my server somehow are not server merges too in some amazing Bioware scripted version of reality. Very disingenuous of them. Shame on you Bioware for lying to me and creating a situation where I have zero control of my characters and playing them is like being exiled to the north pole.

Yes, they did. They stated outright that they would not force people to transfer. I guess thats not really a lie though. They aren't truely forcing transfers... its just if you refuse to then they will move you themselves.

Because that is most of what is left of the community on the general forums....

It's been real but the game just wasn't worth the sub for me anymore.

perhaps you missed the part about hundreds of thousands of subs cancelling every quarter?

Perhaps. But when you keep repeating over the years how heroic is this and how heroic is that... and how some things aren`t possible because of Lore... only to come year 2011 and say "We got some good news and some bad news about Raids.. the good news is that they`re called Operations! The bad news is that you need 8 and 16 heroic people to beat down on a single Boss, because it isn`t heroic for 8 or 16 people to beat on one Boss" ; or making Pureblood or Miraluka available for sides that they aren`t normally available in the Lore... then it`s lying.

Why? Because their tune never changed since then. It was the same crap about feeling heroic and how they`ll bring MMO to a new level.

I don't know if it was on the side of the engine or the netcode, but this game cannot support a large ammount of player so world pvp on Ilum was pretty much shut down, now you can play devils advocate all you want and dont forget to send my regards to grandma
Large Scale world PVP is impossible, True, however World PVP is possible and exists, I see it all the time, On tatooine, Hoth, even Nar Shadaa, and of course the broken Illum. Its more like Grandma was born deformed, but you still have grandma, and when she takes her meds, you might even get a ****** batch of baked cookies.

The Game doesnt have the World PVP most players wanted or expected, but to say they lied and didnt deliver, is a bit strong, because it IS there.
There are no Heroes or Villains. Only Winners and Losers.

If that is true then it's because most are actually playing the game or doing RL stuff (Olympics come to mind.)
Can we please just have our pre-KotFE SWTOR MMORPG back?

Man, why did I come back here again? I stopped playing for a long while partly because I couldn't stand all the inane drivel, both on the boards and in the chat. It just got too much. I mean, people complaining IN THE GAME WHILE PLAYING THE GAME just got to be too much. I bounced. I come back, and it's like I never left. The SAME complaints, the SAME arguments, and the SAME people saying the SAME things. Idiots, the lot of you. I would like to see some examples of other MMO developers who said they were going to do one thing, and than did another. There would be a lot, methinks. Topic is dumb, people are dumb, SW:TOR boards are Gamefaqs level. Congrats.

Im not disputing that, what Im saying is ridicuous is that you guys are pulling quotes from the early phases of development, like 4 years ago, and say "look, they lied James Olhen lied!!!" I mean grow up people. Personally I dont raid and dont care about it, endgame for me was PVP and maybe do dalies once in a while, maybe even do a Flashpoint if one of my friends needed help.

Well - gee now. I heard about the 400k decrease in subs from 1.7M to 1.3M as reported in April. At least I think it was reported in April... Not exactly every quarter unless we are supposed to take your word for it.
