This game is good value for money even if you dont end up subscribing. The 1-50 play through is worth the retail price. In it's current state, there are way to many issues to take the game seriously as an end-game MMO. However, even if they dont fix it, I would feel happy with my purchase.

Name me one mmo that sold 2mil lifetime subs. TOR hasn't sold 2mil lifetime subs, it hasn't sold 2mil subs, it's sold 2mil COPIES. Something tons of MMOs have done, such as LoTRO, Rift, Warhammer, etc etc etc etc. We all know where those MMOs are now, don't we? How many copies an MMO sells in the first few weeks has absolutely no indication on it's success.

Space, is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly hugely mindbogglingly big it is. I mean you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space...

How many copies an MMO sells in the first few weeks has absolutely no indication on it's success. Actually most of those games never sold 2 million copies. No game, wow included, has sold 2 million in their first month until now. Lotro, rift and war never sold 2 million period.

The real test of success is how many subscribers they can hold in 3, 6 months. Indeed this is very true. Many people actively stay away from new MMOs due to disappointments with launches in the past. If the early sub numbers look good it could be enough to sway those people to jump in and give it a shot. It's going to be very interesting to see how things develop.

Lotro, rift and war never sold 2 million period. I'm not entirely convinced TOR sold 2mil copies either. VGCharts is hardly a reliable source and TOR only broke 1mil copies like a week-two weeks ago. So for them to double their copies sold in that amount of time leads me to believe some numbers have been fudged. And even if they actually did sell 2mil copies, it's still not that grand. While other mmos didn't necessarily sell 2mil copies in their first month, most of them sold 1-1.5mil copies. So close enough.

I never said TOR would die, nor did I say those other MMOs died. I merely said TOR wont be the super hit people seem to think it will be. It'll crawl along being profitable like other MMOs, but it wont have millions of subs.
