As no sudden death scenarios. My point is I have read too many reasons about what will/might kill this game that I was more interesting into how this looks like from a semantic angle rather than in examples. Most MMOs die slow enough that on their way out they have gathered a heap of reasons where none sticks out too much unless it has been neglected from the beginning. In case of this game I find it is too early to announce a death sentence of any kind or do a preliminary pre-mortem analysis of why this game will have failed. You said that you never saw anything kill a game before, you didn't specify any one single thing kill a game. That's true, I don't dispute that, but that could be said about any game, not just MMO's for that matter. NWN: Wasn't referring to the game put out by Bioware. Was referring to the ORIGINAL Never Winter Nights game that was an MMO. Sadly, it seems that most people don't even know about this game. It was an MMO (thru AOL, sadly) that could arguably have been the first graphical MMORPG, based on the Gold Box game engine from SSI. Last I knew, RO was taken down due to the sequel, RO2. If I'm wrong on this one, I apologize, but that was the last info I had on that game (only played it for a few days, didn't care for it much, so I don't know first hand there).

cool story bro .. also you gave a opinion as stated in the last bit , but speak for the many several times , bravo ;lp
Quoted of SWTOR Forums: can you make sword in box light sword so sword come out when opened? then if sword is back after sword, use light saber on box, and saber will be boxed after sword is out.

Op, speak for yourself. I'm completely addicted to this game and I've played every Bioware game except Jade Empire including KOTOR. I've also played KOTOR II (Sith Lords) by Obsidian and I love this game. Reminds me a lot of both of them but it's more fun to play because it's fun to play group with others.

You are simply making crap up and have no idea what you are talking about. I've barely been on this game for a month. I'm already almost level 50 and have seen all but one planet. Introducing a new flashpoint every month or so isn't going to fix the problems on this game. It doesn't take a genius to know unless some major game-play elements are added this game isn't going to last long. Now this game did a good job on some things. The companion system for example is really cool. But they didn't do a good job on others - such as bringing to life a long-lasting an interesting world that gives players plenty to do for years to come. There is no way this game is going to last a decade like the devs said was their hope on the current game design. It's just not. It will need a huge overhaul if it's going to be a long-term success. The "rush to the end" and spam instances or "flashpoints" over and over again is not going to work. It's too repetitive and players are going to get bored and move on. Have you actually ever played an MMO before? WOW has been going for 7 years now and spamming dungeons/raids and PVP is all anyone does. Heck, that's all there is to do. This game, just like all other MMOs will be fine for a year or two while everyone enjoys the current content along side the content they put out every couple months. Then, in a couple years, they'll release an expansion adding in more story lines to level 50 characters, more companions, more planets, more of everything. This will keep people playing for another year or so after that. Rinse, repeat. This is how MMOs work. If you don't like this formula, MMOs just aren't for you. In any MMO game, at end game, you're either going to do group instances/raids, daily quests, PVP or make an alt. That's not just TOR. It's every MMO. You either like that set up or you don't. What TOR does have going for it is the story elements. If you think the story is subpar but like the other elements I mentioned, go try a different MMO. If none of this paragraph interests you, again, go play something else because this is what MMOs are.

It is even designed like one - and resembles strongly games like Borderlands - where you can easily solo your way through the game but have the option to group up if you wish. It does have a little of WoW thrown in as well, with the ability to do flashpoints, warzones, and raids with other players if you wish. But they are outside the normal scope of the game and do not fit into the main class lines. They are optional activities. *** is Korriban?
