Why rise of the Hutt Cartel is a failure

I explained it. I play 1 character in an MMO - with this character I do the "endgame" content etc.

Class stories are content in a specific way, they are "twink-content", but nothing else.

No, they're just content. Content is content despite it being content you want to do or not. :\

They are no endgame content, just because of the fact that leveling alts is not endgame.

But it's still content! Just not the content you want.

In case you guys are wondering, this is basically the TLDR version of my rant. Thanks Devlonir for being decidedly less pissed off that people do this all the time, or at least more succinct.

It's no endgame content. Endgame. E-n-d-g-a-m-e.

It is content, yes. But it doesn't encourage me playing my main on 50 / 55.

So content, but not the content you want, just like the person you quoted said...

oh look, it's this thread again. I've been reading "bioware, swtor" fail threads since about 1964. yup. that's right, before even Star Wars came out. that's how bad the trolls are.

Yeah, very few MMOs allow you to level to cap without grouping up. Like WoW, LotRO, Aion, STO, RO, Tabula Rasa, DCUO and almost every other MMO I have played in the last 15 years.

If you wanted the good rewards then grouping was the way to go but you could reach cap without ever grouping. Forced grouping for levelling content is not something I have seen since my days playing Everquest 1.

Wrong. After about 6 months there was still more than 500k. And a 25% retention rate 6 months after launch is pretty good in the MMO world as that 2 million never consisted of just subscribers, it consisted of people who bought the game which came with a free month of game time. Have you never bought a game and then decided it was not for you?

Of course the percentage of outright failures is higher, that is because the market is now far more competitive, arguably its pretty near to saturation point. In the early days people had very limited choice but now they have a huge choice.

Now you are just being silly. Only a fraction of the population is even a potential market. In the western world about 20% of the population is less than 10 years old. Not going to be a lot of takeup of MMOs among 3 year olds I would say.

You can immediately cut out the 25-35% of that population that don't use the internet, then take away the people who don't use it to play games and from what is left you can take away all the people who don't play MMOs of any type. The small number that is left is shared between many titles these days.
