Which is the problem. Research and development? HAAHHAAHA, all they did was steal ideas, and they NEVER did anything new. So you saying they did research = JOKE. Wait no, you are correct they did research on other games and then used it in theirs (Not saying its wrong to do, since thats how you make money). SWG had every feature an MMO could ever want/need. Well they could have made it an FPS type combat, but back then it was tougher to do that stuff. Anyhow, WOW is 7 years old and this game has almost all the same features as WOW and if it's missing them, it's in the works. They couldn't realease EVERYTHING right off the start. It takes time and they are going to have them and MORE. WOW doesn't have a space shooter or any time of mini-game like that. Yes, it is actually fun when you play it a few times. At first I hated it, but it grew on me.

Im going to choose the game that is the most fun In wow, I had 5 level 85 characters. I raided on one of them. I was on the gear treadmil and I logged into wow for a total of 6 hours a WEEK. Thats it. There was nothing else to do on my free time if I was not raiding. That means, I was paying 15 dollers a month for a total of 24 HOURS of playtime, thats it. Besides my 6 hours a week devided into two nights at 3 hours a night, there was NOTHING in wow to do. Except of course do the same raid over and over again on my 4 other characters. In this game I am averaging 5 hours a day. That means I am paying 15 dollers a month for a total of 140 HOURS of playtime. I think ill stick with this, with the wife, with my 10 IRL friends, and with my 50 or so guild mates that came over from wow with us. As of today every single person who came over has resubbed for 6 months (Except me and the wife as the person who pays for our subs likes seeing 30 dollers a month more so ten seeing the big bill every 6 months, oh well LOL)

Should Planetside 2 also have the same features as WoW? What features you think are needed is subjective, not objective. Quests in these types of MMORPG's have been the same for a long time. Go here, kill this, interact with that. That however wasn't what I wrote, I asked you if the story structure was the same, not the questing mechanics.

The same can be said for any MMO. WoW has the most end game content out of any MMO right now. You can't deny that.

Therefore the difficulty or time requirements to be implemented into SWTOR may not allow it either soon or ever. So it has to be taken into account. That and whilst WoW and SWTOR are both MMORPG's they focus on different aspects. WoW and SWTOR really do not focus on different things. WoW's leveling process revolves around questing. SWTOR's leveling process does the same. WoW's endgame focuses on dailies, heroics, raiding and PvP. SWTOR's endgame revolves around the same thing. The only real major difference is the way the quests are presented. In WoW you get a popup with some quest text, in SWTOR you get a cutscene with an NPC and some arbitrary dialog choices.

WoW is way more linear, and this game is way better then WoW. You are just a WoW fanboy and I laugh at that. Also, why are you still here posting and re-subbing when this is a bug infested garbage game? The free time ran out already =)

Sorry, but you lose regardless. WoW has more features, SWTOR doesn't. This is why SWTOR will never beat WoW. Some of don't base our MMO choice on features alone. Some of us like the story content, some prefer the IP, some of us like the developer, others just hate RealID Some of us just like lightsabers, others hate what WoW has become How it caters to entitled 11 year olds who cry when the last raid is done. Some of like fighting robots that arent reskinned from vanilla Some of us have a vision, and cant wait til Bioware can build it. So in closing, a buddy of mine told me about this MMO he's playing right now It feels a lot like warcraft; i think he said its name is WoW. Its been out for quite some time, and the content is definitely there And the only problem it has is finding somebody who cares. Btw, I still play WoW. It's a great game. But it's not TOR. And TOR isn't WoW. That is all.
