Thx Illmatic. Saved me a lot of reading :)
You forgot one:
It doesn't have 11 million subscribers, so it must be a failure.
I just feel SWTOR is like KOTOR3 with Online Co-Op. It plays more like an online KOTOR than a full blown MMO.Well I got the game on release and it's a ok game, I know this has been said so many times they should have made a KOTOR 3 rather than a MMO.

This guy would not have lasted a week under the old mod rules. I have a new game, find posts by him that are not trolling in some way. Good luck with that.the ship has sunk :P

Btw, I did not even last a month with SWTOR and think it was a big disappointment so this has nothing to do with being a fanboy. Just pre-empting your next obvious troll comment.

SWTOR let me down a bit too. I was one of the most hyped for it. Saying that, it's not as bad as most people make it out to be. It just tried too hard to copy too much from WoW, but on the flip-side tried to do other things differently. I think people were expecting the polish of WoW and the longevity of Galaxies at LAUNCH straight away. As for comments and mods....it's amazing what they let through these days. I once saw one guy directly insult another with swear words and it was considered acceptable, yet another poster can get modded for another stupid reason.[QUOTE="FelipeInside"]NOTE: trolls and haters need not post.

Also, did you copy paste this from /v/?
So I just had a really interesting experience regarding SWTOR. I reinstalled it, was thinking about returning to it again with some friends, and as I booted up the game to see if it installed correctly, it actually let me play on my characters.....I haven't paid for a sub since march :lol: and I'm not paying one now.....did my account get a random lifetime sub? XD
You wish.... I think all accounts got 7 Days FREE gametime to coincide with the launch of the Free Trial.So I just had a really interesting experience regarding SWTOR.

They have a free week for anyone that purchased the game. This is from the email they sent me "We would like to offer you the opportunity to come back and play Game Update 1.3:Alliesfor 7 days on us* until 7/17/2012, 2:00AM CDT/ 7:00AM GMT."... which was then followed by them advertising their character transfer feature. I personally enjoyed my time with SWTOR, but once I hit 50 I got kind of bored and moved on. I still feel like I got my moneys worth tho, the story (helped by the fact that I love star wars) was really engaging and made questing pretty fun (the combat did get old though because they make you backtrack across planets a lot while questing).
I wouldn't play that garbage even if it was free to play.SKaREOComments like these, would love to see you try to make an MMO and see how it turns out....it would be a laughing product. BTW didn't you read that useless trolls aren't allowed in here?
Yeah, that's what turns me off some MMO trials....the games are so big these days...I started to get it, then realised it was a 25gig file. Stopped as I have no intention of playing over level 15.

If I was going to design an MMO it would be similar to the persistent world of EVE Online, not the World of Casualcraft. Dynamic user controlled economy, sandbox environments, one giant world that all users connect to, etc. Pushing the limits of cloud computing would be our goal, because I know there is technological advantages to using a global networking environment. I would do a hell of a lot better than anyone working at EA. You want to know the reason why? Because I've been playing video games for 40+ hours a week for 20 years straight.

I was really looking forward to trying this with a friend, but after 3 hours of the game not starting, errors, hanging on the first loading screen and then not being able too join our region servers we both gave up. And too make things worse we couldn't find anything similar too our issues on the forums nor were we able too post with trial accounts to ask for some help. Iv still got the game installed in the hope I may get it working, but as for my friend, they were already pretty cautiousof the game and uninstalled it.
I tryed it again with my level 50 Marauder but the game still feels bland, also transfered my character to a busy server and the fleet area still stutters like mad so I am guessing they never really fixed game peformance like PVP warzones. It feels like they have added a ton of stuff which is great but failed to fix some of the huge problems that people were compalining about like the really bad fps drops in PVP and Fleet.
There is also waaayyyyy to many spells, I mean I have a Razer Naga and bind every ability pretty much in WoW but in SWTOR there are just far to many similar spells.

Since it will be a sandbox, right there you're limiting yourself to sandbox players. Second, you think the developers never played a game? You think it's easy just to come up with an idea and then create it. Come down from heaven and land on Earth when you can.

Yeah weird. Last time I played it I was really happy cause the lag in the fleet was something that really pissed me off, but they fixed it.the only reason i gave up on it was the fact that i had to subscribe to get my 30 days free which i felt was a big rip off...ok you are gonna say all mmo's are like that but i remember a time when you bought wow and you did get your free 30 days and then if you wanted to continue you had to pay. To me that gimmick left a real sour taste in my mouth. now i am going back and will try all the classes , more of a sight seeing thing for me at thsi point.
its gonna go F2P but its gonna restrict a lot of things like lord of the rings online, pirate of the burning sea or conan. I can see it happening. and i am pretty sure that the subs would go up if it was f2P...all the haters would not hate so much after all. i can guarantee you that.!

Weird, I played before the transfer and it was fine on the fleet and I was really suprised, then transfered to a server with more people and it was a bit choppy on the fleet. That was with max settings and V Sync on a Quad Core and GTX580.Please Log In to post.
