Baffles me these "their new, accept the mistakes" attitude. MMORPGs been around for 21 years, there is NO REASON for most of these mistakes made.

Bugs dont bother me personally and I rarely complaint about them, I just send feedback to who ever when I find one and move on.

But the design mistakes that were more then predictable, those bother me to no end and
NO, its not ok.
NO, you dont get a free pass because its your first MMORPG (which again its really not as they had Mythic with them for the entire journey so they had kowledge from DAoC and Warhammer games to draw from.

Why is it so bad to expect top level production from a gaming company? You demand it from restraunts, you demand it from mechanics, you demand it from everyone else in your lives. But come to a game and

"ahhhh well, its ok you didnt get it right the first time, heres my money anyways, take your time, ill wait"

Yeah sorry dont buy that for a sec.
^^^^^This...THIS THIS THIS...... Thank gawd there are other people who think and feel this way. I see nothing wrong with holding supposed professionals to the same standard as their peers.

Funny thing as well:
Bioware is not new. Sure they haven't released a MMO under their name, but Mythic is a part of this and have both DAoC and Warhammer Online under their belt. (and therefore especially with the latter knows about server mergers and transfers)
And Ibe danged sure; a number of developers on this game have worked on other MMOs as well.

Just because it's the first Bioware labelled MMO, does not mean they didn't have experience enough within the genre to begin with.

Likely Bioware won't get much more time from me if things do not improve over the summer. I'm not quite sure right now if I'll be keeping up a sub after August. There's lots of other good games to play, and good MMOs.

The vultures are out and they're circling overhead. Doesn't mean SWTOR is going to die, it happens for every online game. Hell, Diablo 3 isn't even an MMO and take a look at how the General Forums are there. Apparently it's a bigger failure than SWTOR. That still doesn't mean people aren't going to play and find enjoyment in it.

It seems that game forums have become the Roman Colosseum of the internet, everybody can't wait to give the thumbs down and see the product get axed. Time, there is no time anymore on the internet.

Especially when a company releases a game that is mediocre at its best and riddled with problems.

The MMO market is a crowded space and you cannot push out a product and figure you have 6 months to a year to get it squared away. I have really enjoyed playing but this game is in serious trouble.
I agree, By the time they get things sorted out most people will have moved on to other games, A certain RP game that came out recently has certainly stolen away alot of players, I haven't unsubbed (yet) but i'll be honest i haven't played in more than a month, The population on my server (Mask of Nihlius) has certainly gone down in the last month (average night around 35 people on the fleet, only half that during the day), Sadly this game is going down the same road that Warhammer Online (R.I.P.) did, If any of you played that game then you know what i'm talking about

NO BIOWARE DOES NOT DESERVE ANY MORE TIME. How long has this game been in production? How many millions of dollars spent?

7 years 300 million

they do not deserve anymore.

So kill it, that's a good solution. Aren't we a little full of our own opinion?
