TSW still has a lot to got to reach the unprecedented popularity of Vanguard?
Perfect example of short term memory ever in the history of mankind. I mean seriously who in their right mind would even look at a SOE MMO anymore.
I thought EA was the most hated MMO publisher these days? With all the forum whiners, I guess, technically, you can add them all to the list. But back to the topic of Soe, have you seen the latest Planetside 2 beta footage? I'm going to assume not.
I have and it does look awsome, but i whince everytime I see the SOE logo pop up. I will be playing a wait and see game with that one.
Get over whatever petty issue (probably a decade old at this point) you have with SOE and you'll enjoy the game a lot more.
Well the difference between SOE and other developers is that the other "hated" developers have only ruined one or two games...SOE has done it to EVERY game they've touched, and they've been doing it alot longer than anyone else lol.
Sounds like you never heard of a little outfit called "Electronic Arts."
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein "Graphics are often supplied by Engines that (some) MMORPG's are built in" - Spuffyre

And it's still only 1 out of 5... That means most of the people that play TSW don't even think it's the best game.

EQ2 in my opinion is still one of the best MMOS today, Vanguard was ruined even before SOE got hands on it. All they did was kept it floating. They didn't ruin it. EQ is stilll going pretty strong.
PS was an amazing MMO and PS2 looks even better. DCUO is the best superhero MMO i played since City of heroes.....
So that narrows it down to SWG. Ok i see where all the hate is coming from.. lol
The problem with Funcom, is that they will ban you for nothing, try to steal from you, and unless you glorify them as much as possible, pay to have you silenced. Even on this board.
The problem with EA is that they will ruin this game, i mean, they failed with SW:ToR... how can you fail with Star Wars, then again, some company failed with Star Trek. Oh, they will also pay to have you silenced, they have shills, paid shills all over the place spamming marketting crap on every single gaming board (they fired a SWTOR one who posted all she did for the people of that board - revealing all her spam... ok most of us knew it was marketting, but some retards really bought into it)
[mod edit]
Anyways, where I'm getting to, is that you vote with your wallet. If a company screws other gamers, do you still buy their game? Would you let a rapist live with your family just because he too was raped as a child? Would you buy a product knowing it was made by exploiting children, like Nike shoes? Even if this is the best MMO ever, supporting such companies is something I choose not to do. I am the change I want to see in consumer habits.
Boycotting EA. Why? They suck, even moreso since 2008.

Exactly. And the funniest part of that is that the NGE wasn't even SOE's call.

EA is just the publisher and has no direct control over TSW; also as a small point of contention i would argue the only reason SW:TOR has done so porrly as of late was EA thinking the sub model was alive and well.

Imagine if I would have just listened to you about the game. I stand by my opinion that I had when I first look at one of your TSW post.
With all due respect IMO Aerowyn you played the mole better than I've ever seen it done.
not sure what that means since in most cases I have spoken very highly of this game. Critical but positive. Don't see any problems with that
oh and I'm just trying to help you promote a game you enjoy... but like I said before your approach on it is very counter productive
I agree with BC watched your posts for quite some time, and mole is very accurate. I can tell your educated and know your politics. Doesn't mean I dont like you, just ... well .. your a mole. lol

how am I a mole? because I enjoy GW2 more than TSW? I bought TSW and play it right now but doesn't change the fact I enjoy GW2 more.. If you go back and look at my posts prior to TSW launch I was very favorible about the game overall with some complaints. You can go back further and see before I got to spend a good amount of time in the beta weekends for GW2 I pretty much stayed away from the GW2 forums. i feel you shouldn't be giving hard opinions on any game until you at least spent some time playing it. I don't go around making assmuptions and false conclusions on games I never played.
I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg
love me some austin powers!!! still doesn't answer my post or explain how I'm a mole

Moley, moley, moley. Sorry couldn't resist. All kidding aside, I don't see how Aerowyn can be considered a mole. Just giving your opinion and being honest should not be considered wrong. No matter how much anyone likes a game, its never going to be perfect. All the GW2 fanatics out there will probably admit an aspect of the game they would like to be different in GW2.

very true I could write a page of things I wish they changed or improved. Thing is to me the positives far outweigh the negatives in this case. Many games in the past I have played including TSW have some great things going for them but also some glaring issues that in many cases outweigh the positive aspects for me.

YUP and driving away would be fans.
As a fan of TSW leveling, questing and classless based skill deck system I think the game is awesome, but as arguably the worst PvP themepark game to date and stale, boring, bland and elitist PvE endgame the game has no lasting appeal.
Funcom should of spent just as much innovation at endgame as they did on the level up game.

I see BC is still trying to get on the payroll at funcom today. 1 out of 5 on this site is not good you can roll the numbers how you wish. That just means every 5 people that try it 1 stays and the rest come on mmorpg.com like myself and bash it for being boring. Then on top of that you are calling out someone on this site that was giving you constructive ideas to help you , turning around calling them a mole? Man seriously you and bigrock are something else on this game , you gotta be working for funcom or something , Ive never seen such dedicatation to a mediocre title before.
Personaly i think his results would have been better if he used the word Themepark.
instead he went general and gave way too much competition from people who generally hate themepark games. Personally i enjoy the game but i wont compare it to a sandbox, Sandbox games deserve their own Genre not to be lumped into the Multiplayer-Singleplayer and MMO groups.
Because i can. I'm Hopeful For Every Game, Until the Fan Boys Attack My Games. Then the Knives Come Out. Logic every gamers worst enemy.
I really dont understand why theres a poll for this ... this page is a waste of time, however the mole comment was hilarious and had to take BCB on that one.. It gave me a chance to laugh hard ONCE AGAIN at the Mole in Austin Powers Thanks BCB!
Anyways, TSW is a great game that needs tons more content. GW2 is a great game that needs tons more content too as it will have more or less the same span of content for launch as TSW.
Will I own both without a sub? yes. Will I choose one over the other? No. The (AO) has a strong core of PVE'rs and PVP'rs, and the PVP'rs will be following my lead into GW2 to establish PVP heavy division whereas my PVP'rs will be staying within TSW to continue achieving within it... So... my foot will be in both games.
In all honesty, both are great games.. whats not a great game is going to be games like TESO, AA, and REPOP... anyways, MOLEY MOLEY MOLEY MOLEYYYYY!

^This, the PVP is pathetic... which is why I am setting up a foundation for my core PVP group in GW2.
i seriously cannot wait til the 25th -28th when GW2 does launch so we can finally put to rest all this excessive nonsense in these forums about the two games and which is better. Numbers will speak and server population in the end not some failed logic here.

I know this is just a minor detail, but the number in your title is off a bit.
1 in 5 is 20%
1 in 6 is ~16.7%
1 in 6 is much closer to the fraction that you should be using in your title and your argument.
~ 16.8% of people ( ~53 out of 315) polled on the TSW forums feel like there is no better MMORPG released since 2005.
The problem with Funcom, is that they will ban you for nothing, try to steal from you, and unless you glorify them as much as possible, pay to have you silenced. Even on this board.

So the current 17% vs the many who have listed many many games.
Take 17%/many games, the number gets really small.
You lost.
