How much time? We're near 6 months at this point.
Meanwhile, in Tera general chat -

I planned on giving bioware time, then i heard this:
  1. Development Team Layoffs
  2. EA Says SWTOR isent important

I still love this games concept, but we need more level 50 content.

Who wants to bet the OP has already long cancelled his sub, despite his attempt earlier this month to bark support for the TORtanic.

Transfers to these "super servers" or whatever the heck they want to call them should have happened...weeks ago.

Every day that passes with people on dead servers is another nail in the coffin.

I really don't want to see this game fail but it's hard supporting it when the biggest issue has been ignored for so long.

Transfers...yesterday please...
Stop exploding you cowards!

And are you suggesting that BioWare has done nothing in the six months?

I love how the priorities quote gets taken out of context. He was referring to SWTOR's priority to EA in terms of revenues. It is not the top product, that's all he meant. Get over it.

Yeah, the problem is such information doesn't bode well for the "give BW time" argument. If a people are being laid off, and EA say the game isn't a top priority, that means the dev team devoted to SWTOR is going to be smaller, which means it's going to take more time for things to be fixed and improved, not less.

This is how it works: the more successful an MMO is, the more resources are put into it. SWTOR is certainly profitable (otherwise it would be shut down entirely), but it's obviously not as profitable as EA hoped it would be, hence money is shuffled from supporting SWTOR to whatever EA think is the next thing they're making that will be successful and turn relatively more of a profit. It's just EA min-maxing their resources.

Great observation bud and that is a exactly what will happen here. Once the kinks and convienance of playing the game is released people will be back in droves. Its not like TOR has over a Million players already

Doom sayers are the ultimate TROLLS and must be dealt with swiftly.

They have the time as far as i am concerned, i like the game and i am not going anywhere definitely.
Not to mention the fact that the game is constantly improving with frequent updates and that it has a ton of potential for the future.
