You wont have to log out of the game and go to any forums to enjoy reading it in general chat.

Sadly, this.

Although I am hearing rumors of Harry Potter Online slated for mid-late 2013....

The sub-teenagers that have proven how easy WoW is to master are also the ones that perpetuate the myth that it's the first of it's kind.
even WoW story telling has rip offs like come on lich king ending = ROTJ ending

Wrath gate video is the Black gate....

just to name a few

and clearly arthas is darth vader both was good heroes and both turn to the bad side by manipulation and lust for power.

Wait what? Not only did they have 6 years of refinement by being able to copy all the good things from WoW, they also had the massive and easy opportunity to improve everything people didn't like about WoW and avoid the same mistakes games like Warhammer, AoC, Aion and Star Trek had.

And still SWTOR has more bugs than vanilla WoW had and has 2004 graphics as well.
Already the amount of subscriptions have dropped by about 50% to 500k and in another month this game will probably host around 350k people, similar to EVE Online.

As Kotor 3 this game is very good, as an MMO it's the worst attempt of a paid MMO ever.
Played WoW for 5 years, SWG for 3 years, Rift for 6 months, AoC for 4 months, Aion for 2 months, Sorc Wars The Old Republic for 2 months.

And they didn't add werewolves simply because of the current Twi-hard craze. No, not at all.

They also didn't jersey up the goblins simply because of that pop-culture phenom either, did they?

They wouldn't dare add an NPC named Haris Pilton right after her nono-tape popped up, would they?

It's so blatant how blizz plays on pop culture and plays on the success of other products and people, you'd have to be a complete fanboy to not notice.

This piece of dung TOR cannot even hold a candle to vanilla WoW.

that was 7 (SEVEN) years ago, using new technology, and the product was way more complete than SWTOR is now. SWTOR graphics suck, gameplay is cheesy, and obviously nothing needs to be said about PVP when the basics of the game are so lame.

Environments suck. And that is with them being way limited too, it's not nearly as open world as other MMO's that have larger, higher quality environments (and with higher populations per zone), and using a more demanding graphical engine...........I just dont understand how they can fail this badly when there are such shining examples out there

proof this game has more bugs than WoW at launch i want to see this last i remember WoW was unplayable i can atleast play this game and level and do the raids with minor problems

WoW leveling was bad the raids was broken and there glitches all over the place.

seems you are here for graphics if that is the case WoW must look like a pile of dog crap since you had a game like half life 2 out around that time.

Very constructive. I see you are still spending your time here though.

WoW had 4 years of development time to add instanced BGs before release. They didn't.

They had 4 years of dev time to add an honor system and pvp rewards before release. They didn't.

They've had 7 years of active life to come up with an idea as pathetic as panda bears as a playable race. Hell. I wont even entertain the argument that they've been a part of WC's lore forever. They were an april fool's joke that has been extended for almost a decade now. That is all.
