I have no doubt in SWTOR's success and launch. However, one must remember 2011 has been a good (and getting better) year for games. I actually have no desire to play an MMO, with all the prime SP and MP choices out there. I wouldn't go overboard.

Buggy launch (~3 months to fix IIRC).
*
Environment was boring repetitive, even with randomization. Everything was similar, and just blended in (until the expansion).
*
Inventory was too annoying to manage, tons of items and very limite…

Is there even a true seamless world out now?
Vanguard is close, but chunking is just zoning without the load screen, WoW is tunneled so it's seamless but boxed off. EQ2 is zoned…
It's only using 0%-22% GPU load according to GPU-Z (most of my games use 60%-100%). Which is horrible, almost like it's software rendering. Not only that but is only using one core. However, loading seems to be multithreaded, so that does leverages …

To everyone thinking about playing this game DON'T BE FOOLED!!! The front page makes you assume you need to buy the starter kit but you don't. $20 for some boosts and a special car model is all yo…

I remember everybody arguing AoC wasn't instanced back in beta.. trying to explain zone instances to them.
I can't see myself resubbing. Funcom's launch was just insulting. Do you guys at least get patch notes now?

I could say the same thing about North America and Pristontale 2:

At least we know that North America cons…

3. Focus on crafting armour first... that way you can quickly equip your character so that he/she doesn't look like an idiot. Once I had a duster jacket, some leather trousers and some 3-d glasses I enjoyed playing a who…
Took me 9 hours to download/update/install. It would have been 5x quicker if they were using the libtorrent library like other recent MMORPG's.
I imagine the further away, worse your connection, or firewall settings, will severely increase your do…
Did anyone mention you get a horse like within the first 10 minutes after the intro (after you die driving the bomb out of the building)? You do the "extra tutorial" quest chain, run kill a lvl 2 mob, run back, run to a diff npc, run back and free m…

WoW is basically a Diablo 2 MMO. Loot treadmills, skill trees, warriors, wizards, and rogues.
Worst statement of the year.

I'm sorry but would you mind uploading an image (to imageshack.us) or posting the Modifiers you've seen on ONE item?
I've checked the auction house as thoroughly as I could and everything is basically just a white item (like from Diablo, WoW, …
1. If you start a char in the middle of no where, it's a bug, log out and log back in.
2. If you log in and only see objects, no floors or walls, it's a bug, log out and log in.
3. If you have troubles with a skill not working (always red) or an…
Took me about 5 hours to download. Not the best downloader - I've seen libtorrent based downloaders do it 3x faster (5 gigs) and consistently. "Installing" took half hour. I don't know what it needed to install, because from what I can see FE doesn'…
