The end of the arguement. Is SWTOR in decline? Can it be saved?

alot of people arent intelligent on these forums

i feel sorry for the people who dont play video games who have stock or whatever in bioware.must be a shame to have a bunch of spoiled whiney brats ruin your investment because of some minor problems in a video game

the funny thing is though,you watch.i bet the same bunch who are whining about stuff in sw tor will do the same in guild wars 2,tera,and chances are they did the same in world of warcraft

Why do we always have to have a discussion about how SWTOR can be saved because some Hack Journalist writes about rumors? I could care less what the hack gaming media has to say about anything. Why? Because they are all idiots.

Those whom have insider information know that some investors have actually pulled out, so EA is considering downsizing the team and working on their next project than throwing more money and getting more loss. There is a major problem in subscriptions, when the subs which people have now run out the ones which arnt active cause dont find game worth logging in it going to drop by a huge number and EA is aware of that, with coming games coming out it also going to drop, estimations behind close doors is less than 400k subs by mid year, there is some last ditch efforts taking place like throwing in a exploding char patch to appeal to the lesser minded people whom can be distracted by such ploys but the deeper thinkers dont fall for it.

They truly when decided to give the 30 days free was because of the subs falling it was setup as a PR damage control but would not taken place if not for the financial side struggling and loss of investors.

As someone who enjoys SWTOR and plays it on a daily basis, I have to say that I disagree.

SWTOR is a Warcraft clone.

Run the two games along side one another - same approach to graphics, same scaling, same nameplates, same mini map, same "battlegrounds" and PvP interface, same skill trees, same itemization color codes, same combat, same interactions... in fact, SWTOR goes further in copying Warcraft than any other mmo I have played in the last 5 years. This includes Conan, Aion and others.

This is not a bad thing.

WoW is an EQ clone. EQ is a Meridian 59 clone. Meridian 59 is a Might & Magic clone.

The format is tried, tested and true. It's easy to navigate and easy to understand. And SWTOR builds on this in many positive ways. Just because it is a clone, doesn't mean that it failed to begin becoming exactly what BW want it to be - familiar, but different.

SWTOR is hardly a WoW clone and has many innovations that WoW is madly trying to copy and implement for their newest expansion.
