This game is TWO MONTHS old.

Warhammer Online release date Sept 18 2008, on November 18 2008 people were saying "This game is TWO MONTHS OLD"............. and now look at it.

The first two months are critical for any mmo these days. You fail the first two months and everyone will leave in flocks.

If any of you have been around launches of other MMOs (which I doubt many people here have), you come to realize that they aren't going to be perfect at launch. An MMO is a living, breathing game that evolves over time. Every single feature you want or have seen in other games will often be added in at a later date once they fix the most pressing post-launch issues. Let's look at the launch of WOW.

World of Warcraft
WOW has had SEVEN years to add content. SWTOR has had two months. Can you imagine how much better this game will be even a year from now? But I digress.
Does anyone remember the awful lag issues WOW had at launch? I sure as hell do. Many servers were crashing for a long period of time over and over. Lag, loot lag, falling through the world, etc. Queue times were often an hour or more. The game was often unplayable at times until WOW had time to fix hardware issues. SWTOR has actually done better than WOW in this regard. WOW actually had to give some people free days because the lag was so bad and the servers were so unstable.
I think WOW had one or two raids? There weren't any battlesgrounds. There weren't a lot of things.

(blah blah blah WOW was released in 2004 SWTOR should have all the features it does blah blah blah ) No, it shouldn't SWTOR is a unique game that will add it's own content.

I personally love this game. I sincerely enjoy playing it. Those who don't are more likely to be vocal about it on the forums. I never see any of this "I hate SWTOR" chat in game.
Launch is a difficult time for ANY MMO, and SWTOR has actually done better than just about any MMO I've seen before.

This game isn't WOW and it never will be. Don't expect it to have all the features you love from WOW 2 MONTHS after launch. Give this game time to work out the few bugs there are and add a bit of content over the upcoming months and this will be the best MMO there is. Bottom line, MMOs take time to develop and add content and this is one of the smoothest MMO launches I've been around.

There were some basic features and design choices that SWTOR should have been released with... that WoW had... one of them being better FPS.

WAR released with the unfulfilled promise of a capital city for each race and multiple bug fixes that were being worked on in beta. Do not compare WAR to SW:TOR release. Especially when SW:TOR had a much more smooth launch.

The only thing "bumpy" would have to be the constant whining I see on the forums of all the people who are incapable of rolling on servers with more people on them, and the lack of UI customization. The lack of UI customization I can understand.

If your server doesn't have enough people on it, and you're a level 50 waiting all day to do something, make a new character on a higher populated server and wait until they bring in server transfers. It's not that hard. Do not expect SW:TOR to have everything these 5-7 Year old MMO's have been given over the course of their time in two to three months. It's just not going to happen.

I'll smile when you all come back for Guild Capital Ships though.

WoW at release had terrible FPS issues with high population areas. Don't make me mention Ironforge.

I signed up in December of 2004. Horde on Archimonde... I never went below 30 FPS.

Didnt SWTOR have unfulfilled promises too?
And yes i do have 2 lvl 50s on a server that used to be high pop now empty, and no i will not invest time into making another char on another server and trying to get battlemaster again.

This is 2012, SWOTOR is missing features that a common in mmos, like proper warzones, a lfg tool etc.
