Will the game survive 2013 ?

You do know that is an old rumor and Meegan is not even there anymore right?

LOL.... see... that is deja vu all over again for LA. It changes every time they change top management... which is about every year or two now days. They constantly flip flop on this stuff... but practicality makes it extremely difficult for them to "in house" production any more. Many people in the business simply don't trust them enough to be employed by them because of it, and there is plenty of studio competition such that they are not that attractive as an employer.

It's most likely a GL thing. Control freak to the max. His idea has outgrown him. And after he edited the classic Greedo/Han Solo sceene he dosen't deserve to control the SW/SWEU anymore!

Han. Shot. First!

The keys should have been taken when he substituted Ewoks for Wookiees.

I don't think they'll make it. The biggest problems I see are:
1) they are SO slow to fix bugs.
2) they cater too much to the elite player. This is the primary reason I finally quit. They design a game that leads you by the nose all over the galaxy on a long series of quests. But they make the quests so *********** hard that you have to either be an elite player to finish it, or group up. If you don't complete the quest, then the game is over. That's not a smart way to design the game and I'm sure they lost a large percentage of subs because of it. I can't tell you how frustrated I was to have my consular at the end of Correlia, the end of my class quests in my sights, just to find the the final boss is over the the top, rediculously hard. I finally logged off and cancelled my account. I can't be alone in that feeling.

I had forgotten that!

ROTJ would have been A LOT better if it was set on Kashyyyk!

This game will definitely survive as long as EA doesn't do something crazy like NCsoft did and pull the plug on a successful MMO.

This game is really fun and has reinvigorated my love for Star Wars.

Being a refugee from CoX I definitely hope this game continues for as long as that one has, I also see some things that EA/BW could learn from it that would help this game to survive.

As long as the Cartel shop has good stuff to invest in, I'll definitely be putting more time and money into this game.

EA spoke up loud in clear in July: “Disappointing performance of Star Wars: The Old Republic was offset by powerful performance of Battlefield 3.” “Star Wars is the primary driver for adjusted guidance to a lower number.” “Our diversity allows us to make up for a miss on one franchise (SWTOR) with a hit on another (BF3).” One of the last things EA said to investors during that quarter’s investor call was to give a brief rundown of their F2P strategy. Next report for EA is end of Oct. and there will be nothing new to say other than they are banking on F2P to turn things around. The months of Nov., Dec., and Jan. SWTOR is probably fighting for its life. That’s the roadmap. [note: this is all public info. EA is a public company and I don’t have any insider info!]

BW may be subject to some criticism, but I for one would not want to see BW, the company responsible for the Baldur’s Gate, KOTOR, Mass Effect, and Dragon Age learn some hard-knocks lesson about the viability of ambitious PC games in the console age. So yeah, some may be disgruntled because they can’t play a pink Ewok while wearing Revan’s pajamas, but no one should really want SWTOR to fail, even if they hate it, even if they gave up playing it long ago. As a PC, RPG, SW, and MMO fan I see a lot on the line here. YMMV.

Lol this guy

no,,wookies are okay, but ewoks are EPIC

For that I give you THIS! And THIS!
