Have to disagree with this.

Everyone can get the endgame gear.

And a skilled player can take down a 'geared' player.

You just have to learn the mechanics of each class. Strengths, weaknesses, and environment.

It's already been seen. When the next Tier of gear comes out it will happen again. No fresh 50 stands a chance against a geared 50. None. 0. No amount of skill will allow a fresh 50 to take down a geared 50 unless the geared 50 literally does nothing.

I agree.


Imagine a non geared Marauder trying to kill a geared Sage.

Oh look, you changed your name a little bit.

I remember you from pre-launch saying this game will be f2p in a month.

Gandork, why are you back?

And please quit spreading false information.

Most servers prime time are Standard to Heavy. Out of like 112 servers (NA), 10 are light during prime time.

Again, we disagree.

But, to each their own.

lol you re-subbed .

like the name change .

Norumaniac already pointed it out. Do you really think a fresh Maruder could take out a geared sage/sorc? Or a Merc? Or an Operative?

Hello Pot, meet Kettle. Right back at you, sir.

Who knows how the actual numbers will do...what really matters is if you get more friends to play or lose friends to other games.

My personal experience? I have seen a lot of old friends show up to play. People I haven't seen since the beta days for the Matrix Online. We've only lost 1 due to personal issues...not leaving for another MMO. Other than that everyone else is continuing to play and we're still gearing up and leveling to get to the point where we can do HM Flashpoints...let alone Operations. I haven't really heard of anyone getting tired of the game. They're all engaged with their characters and the game.

This can only be good for the game. Anecdotal evidence to be sure...but if even half the game's community feels the same way...that's good for the game. Considering the large number of people who subbed after the first month...I'd say that makes up at least half the userbase, at least to some degree or another.

Personally I'll be playing both ME3 and GW2 when they come out...and I expect to be continuing to play SWTOR...just means my time in game will be more limited. 2 paid sub MMOs I can't handle....but 1 paid sub MMO, 1 single player game, and 1 F2P MMO I can handle...just have to budget my time more effectively. The paid sub always gets preference though since I feel guilty about paying for it and not playing...so that is good for SWTOR so long as I remain interested in the game.

And when I log on...around 6:30pm Central time...most US servers are Standard...2-3 heavy....5-6 light....just a rough guess but it seems to be rather consistent day to day. I'll admit I don't look at the entire server list every day though...since I don't have to. I would bet the same applies to most people attempting to gauge the level of the servers day to day.

It would depend on both players skill level.

Which is my point.
