Not enough Doom in this troll post, needs more doom...

Every game experiences a drop on its population at the first month. It's very rare to find a game which doesn't (they are mostly free to play anyway so people don't bother to delete account)

i've canceled my subscription and explained in the cancel form with many details why i canceled.

now bioware has 1 month to show me that cares about me starting to change and fix, otherwise we'll see again on spring , maybe rerolling a new toon , i paid 50 euros to see just one questline, next time i'll pay only 13 to see one more

You couldn't be more wrong about the influx of new players.

In fact SWTOR has dropped out of top 50 selling MMO's and has fallen from the top rated MMO.

The influx of new players isn't as drastic as you think and it is certainly not making up for the crowd leaving in droves.

If you don't believe me just watch how during peak times servers are struggling to break Standard and Make it to Heavy.

I was really excited for this game and have put in more than my share of time into it over the last month. It was not until recently that I started thinking about playing something else later in the year. Since we hear so little back from BW, I really do not know what to expect in the future and wonder about this game's long term viability. I want it to succeed, but just don't know.

PVP magic stat for the kiddies.. need i say more.

PvP is only for the people that have no ability to Role Play. and SWToR is still a MMORPG most people tend to forget after the pvp happy games like wow that have zero rp on their servers that there are groups that play MMORPGs for a reason other then to get the best gear, to run around like idiots killing other players or to grind every inch of every map for pve. the game was designed initialy as a Role Playing Game to interact SWTOR has it right in many aspects. there is finally a reward for working together. Social points system which is still being forged is one of the best ive seen. for the people leaving the game now they are as foolish as the ones that bailed in the first weeks of wow, and every other Major MMO on the market since EQ.

I'm seeing last week sales of swtor at 11 for all titles and the highest MMO.

It's #3 on amazon and the only MMO in the top 20

if you don't like this data then fine, present your own.

Same comments on boards of all MMOs I've played in the past 13 years. Endless variations on the 'I quit' theme ... people are so self-important

- No-one cares if you leave, so why bother posting it?
- Rushing to 50 / 60 to find out once you are there that indeed you have reached the end (*surprise!) ... enjoy the journey, not the destination
- Complex Software systems (including patches and expansions) take time to design, code, QA and release ... patience is a virtue

Oh dear, I just realized, I'm being far too reasonable here, that is never going to fly

I don't know about other peeps, but there is nothing in the game currently that will keep me interested beyond six months. I'm still subbed, still enjoying the game, but I definitely see its limitations.

Right now the game is just all about rolling Alts. Since I prefer to immerse myself into one toon and am not an altaholic, I'm not sure how much staying power this game possesses for me. Even if they add more FPs, more WZs...it's just the same basic mechanics with different virtual surroundings.

BW has a unique opportunity to set themselves apart. I think they did this successfully with the leveling process. My toon's class quest, and questing in general, definitely felt more immersive than other games. In fact, I was spoiled by its effectiveness as I have no desire to really level a toon in the other MMOs I play anymore.

However, beyond that uniqueness, there is nothing special about it. Aside from my guild, there is no sense of community at all. BW could do so much, but most of what they've done is already passe. Just seems to me that if they really want SWTOR to be a sustained hit, they need to do something more dynamic, not just in PvE, but in PvP as well.
