SWTOR has no end game, but running LFR DS for 10 months is cool.
Unsubscribed due to no new Operations.
I am happy that there will be a renewed focus on story, I love story, its why I picked this MMO. But I picked an MMO, not an episodic single player RPG that I have to pay a subscription to receive the episodes.

How many times can one person be wrong in one thread?

You can still go to Stratt and hear them play, they play every 4 hours. Regardless, you still made a factually untrue statement to support an untrue argument. And I never said anything about swtors cantinas one way or the other, so stop trying to put words in other people's mouths.

Random inn in wetlands is more livelier than all cantinas in SWTOR together.
@ Bioware
Stop trolling the EU. Fix the downtimes to the middle of the night and not in the middle of the morning / day.

One thing Bioware has done with SWTOR that WoW has none of is the story aspects of this game, they are brilliant and if anyone wants to come out with a new MMO they will definetly have to consider voice overs for all the quests.

Some of them could have been done better, there is no doubt about that but right now SWTOR has more story in in then pretty much anything else out there in the MMO genre.

Until an MMO is developed that breaks the current WoW clone and comes to the market with something new and refreshing and it is successful out of the gate, no other developer will try to break with tried and true MMO design that they KNOW will make money.

It just takes one developer to have the intestinal fortitude and financial backing to make a change in the genre and Bioware has done that with adding in great story so much so that the story is what compels you to play, not leveling, gear, ... but story.

Now if SWTOR remains a success like it seems to be now then from now on if you want to compete in the market your MMO will need voice overs...I can even see a future WoW expansion that will be fully voiced especially if next year at this time SWTOR is gaining subs.

That is how it all changes so actually Bioware has caused a small change....story.

How did i make an untrue statement?

WOW's cantinas and bars are completely dead, barren, and boring except for World's End Tavern for 5 minutes every 4 hours.

ROFL ROFL ROFL.

How many people hang out in shattrah now a days?

But ya, this makes WOW's cantinas/bars better. LOL.

Prepare to be hit with text about people who read texts in WoW.

Personally, it was accept and go for me. The quest givers telling me to collect the heads of animals (and believe it or not some animals don't have heads it seems) wasn't really worth reading.

Edit:
Questing in SWTOR is better.

I don't think voice-acting every single quest line is going to be the norm. I see maybe more key cinematic voice acted cut-scenes, but the interaction and back and forth, I predict will remain a very BioWare thing... it doesn't add anything to gameplay and is expensive to create and expand.

My opinion: there will never be another fully voiced MMO.

This person has never played on an RP server in WoW. The inns are alive. And no, not just the infamous Moonguard Goldshire Inn.

RP server cantinas here are dead. RP is actually kinda dead, or at least my ability to enjoy others doing it being they really don't gather anywhere, can't sit and ther are no chat bubbles.

Makes me wonder if they will be doing the voice acting for the next expansion. it seems silly to stop now.. but I mean geesh. I bet it's going to take a long time before it is released. I may be jumping the gun here though. I guess Bioware will do like Rift and keep just releasing new content without really releasing a expansion. March 1st was Rifts 2nd year? or third year anniversary. If they go that route though. I won't be complaining.
