It must be awful for you both to see that after two years of declaring it's death.... 1) it's still alive, and doing well 2) you are still paying to play your "dead" game.

It's OK if you don't like an MMO. It's OK to go play one you do actually like (though I'm not at all sure either of you actually like any MMO really). It's not necessary for you to try to scorch the forums on the way to your next adventure.

It will however be fun to watch you both attacking Wildstar in their forums after it goes live.
Actually FAN BOY, you're putting words in my mouth because I haven't. If you bothered to read what I said, the game DID die - the facts are out there and unlike you, I posted a link to sources. Where's yours to prove the game is increasing in subs or getting busier?

People like you are just so blinkered and sad because you only see one side of the debate and not everything. Thank god you won't be in WIldstar

Well... I don't know what you may or may not have said. I'm too lazy to look, but you are qualifying as a fact that this game died and it did not. Dying means maitnance mode (as in no new content) followed by shuttering the servers and turning out the lights. That did not happen. So... before you start talking about facts remove the hyperbole. The game lost subs... that is a fact.

As for the rest? Well, I've tried Wildstar, TESO, and went back to Tera, Rift and WoW to look around. And none of those games is any better. MMORPGs these days are different flavors of the same drink.

Why aren't you at Wildstar right now? Open Beta is on going.

If you are too lazy to look, I am too lazy to explain it again. Get off your arse and check the history book - 8 months after launch when subs dropped by 1 million, Bioware left the game in despair with zero communication and players were crying for server mergers.

That qualifies as DEAD. You probably arrived after F2P.

If Wildstar manages to survive the 6 months without losing over 60% of its subs then it would be deemed more successful than SWTOR.

The problem is that some of those things are being worked on now, which is why we have had a massive absence of content over the last 7 months. BW is having to play catch up on some QoL features rather than focusing on new endgame modes and new operations.

If they are able to still release the expansion this year with the delay of GSH, it will have been over a year since the last operation and will have been only one new warzone in two years. And that's assuming the new expansion even comes with a new operation and a new warzone. Fanboys will scream "flashpoints" and "gsf" and I'll whisper, "no...".

Considering what happened with ESO, is it any question whether it will happen or not? All MMOs see a large initial player base, before then experiencing a large exodus from said player base, MMO players of today are locusts, going from one MMO to the next

Nope. Been here since launch. I defined dead for you since I knew that reading comprehension isn't your strong suit. Go back and read my reply slowly.

Your definition does not qualify as dead. Sorry. Using hyperbole doesn't really help your cause.

I think if Wildstar can get past some of the bug problems they have now (IMO the game is nowhere near being ready to launch, same as this one was) they have a chance at a good healthy run. The engine seems decent and the feature list is full.

However, this game at this point is much more polished. Naturally this one has had two years to get there.

I think there is room in the market for both games.

What, what is this? Where's the hate, the bile, the accusations, the fear mongering, or the doomsaying? We can't have this here. Remove it immediately.

Woo. Since my PC died yesterday I'll have to buy a new one. Meaning that SWTOR DOES have wildstar to fear, at least in case of my single, insignificant sub. So... yay?

We'll see how well it runs on my new machine once I have it... but so far it seems to be terribly optimized. Even an hour of fiddling with settings didn't get the FPS above 20... then again, since my PC died a few hours later that may have had something to do with it ;X
