SWTOR Fastest growing MMO in history

I like the game. I plan to be here for a while. It is a good launch and there is tons of potential with the solid base mechanics that they have began with.




-You cannot judge ANY game until about the third month. What we as players call the 'Third Month Blues'. It is ONLY at this point when we see the roll off and the casual numbers peel a bit and the community boils down into the ones who are sticking with it hook, line, and sinker.

To look at it any other way is going to leave you in the end with false results...

Im pretty sure subs six months down the line are going to depend heavily on if they are getting ready with new content. Truth be told, if a game doesnt plan for expansions then its going to die. Players need more content. That can be evidenced by looking at the history of successful mmo's and though I hate it..WoW is a perfect example.

you know it.. fanbois from other games, feeling the power of the force !!

I am sure there will be the 30 day exodus, as all mmo's have, but I am sure this game will be around for many years, it's not a fail unless they pull the plug, APB was a fail, the use of the word fail is so mis-used../shrug

No it hasn't. And launch doesn't mean anything really, it's staying power, which we have yet to see how it goes.

All I'll say is this-- if you're saying this game is doomed because of it's level of end-game content, when it's only been released for less than a week--you need to get over it. They don't NEED to have a ton of end-game content yet because people shouldn't BE at end-game less than a week after the game releases. It is not Bioware's fault that some folks simply do not have a life outside of their in-game avatar, I'm sorry. Considering they've already said they will be making MUCH more content and that they're not going to call it quits right after launch with something that cost them 80+ million to make, I'd say perhaps you should wait a few months before doom and gloom start to spread. Try being realistic.

Merry Christmas, everyone, and I hope to see a lot of your friends here in a few days or so after the holidays!

--Quick edit for minor spelling

Weren't fanboys talking about some ridiculous number of preorders, like easily over 2 millions ?

If you notice in the announcement, they say "over a million".

2 million, is more then one million.

You will also notice in the announcement, that they are still bringing in new players.

And on top of all that, it isn't xmas, yet.

You obviously haven't played that many MMO's. It's been a while since I started playing WoW in 2004, but I am pretty sure battlegrounds were not in at launch, and I am also pretty sure Molten Core wasn't in at launch or if it was, it wasn't itemized. By that standard, WoW certainly didn't "die" and SWTOR has significantly more end-game activities while they already have more on the way.

There needs to be alot of changes and additions to this game before im completely sold.

Its to obvious blizzard has a B team on WoW since cataclysm.
