Why did daniel erickson and george zoeller leave tor?

1. they didnt manage to deliver 1/4 of an upated every 6 weeks L2Count bro

2. all the content updates in SWTOR were made long long ago (HK for instance was in beta)

When executing a hostile take over, the best thing to do is get rid of the targets leaders. Then once you do that you replace them with spineless lackeys who will sellout and/or bend to your will without question.

Yup ... sounds about right to me.

1. guess again. 1.4, 1.5, and soon to be 1.6 are all about 6 weeks apart. L2count bro

2. They were STARTED during beta. However not finished. There are some exceptions such as group finder had to be made from the ground up.

Agreed. And this is why I no longer have any hope for this game. Daniel leaving is the last straw for me. How sad. To see a great game like this just die.

*Looks at fulls servers*

Game dead.

So how come only what 1 or 2 of the original developers who started Blizzard are still there? Why are only 1 or 2 of the developers who created WoW still working there? Why are NONE of the original developers who made Diablo 1 or 2 working on Diablo 3?

It's how the video game industry works. Unless you are one of the top guys at a company you don't tend to stay. Developers want to make their own games. So once they get a few projects under their belt they move on to do their dream project.

I know it's hard to understand for gamers because most of us would kill for a job at Blizzard or Bioware and never leave but that's not how the game industry works.

It's like Star Wars. Most of us would have loved to create Star Wars or even be in control of it. However George Lucas just wanted to make movies. He had a lot of movies he wanted to make and he always considered Star Wars just some silly sci fi movie he made. But the fans demaned he make more even though he wanted to make movies like "Red Tails" (skip it btw)

These developers want to go on and make their dream projects. Not be stuck working on the same game for years.

Launch: *looks at 220+ servers*

6 months later: *deserted, game shrunk to 20 servers and went F2P*

*awesome*

Launch: single fleet instances, single world instances within 3 days.
6 months later: triple fleet instances, 3 - 4 world instances.

Yeh there has been a decrease, however judging it by server numbers hardly applies when the actual player count per server increased.
