  • I only have 2 fears with sw:tor, being them: 1- be overly instanced. I despise overly instanced games like AOC, Yet since  Blizzard introduced the "phasing" concept, might be possible for Bioware to use the same idea, and in the process, allowing …
  • Before a wow2 we will see at least 2 new expansions, one featuring probably pirates, sea combat and then a "end story" expansion. and a graphical revamp of current wow - and no this is not a guess. it is a card in blizzard's sleeve waiting to be d…
  • First, english is my 4th language- in before anyone attacks, and it is 05:30 in the morning, so I will not even make that great of an effort to get everything right. Second, I don't agree fully with the OP extrapolations due to the fact they are e…
  • Originally posted by templarga Seriously, people, are we going to debate every damn aspect of the SW:TOR v. WOW and Bioware VS. Blizzard argument for the next year+ until the game releases? It really is getting old and threads like these only inv…
  • AION will probably be a pretty good game, but I am not sure of the reception in the western world. In terms of mentality and  philosophical concepts there always great differences between west and east. Games that were huge hits in the east and soli…
  • While at first appears a contradiction to it's nature, MMORPG's need solo content/solo gameplay to achieve success. Oddly enough the same can not really be said about group content. , Despite what most tend to think, MMORPG doesn't, in essence, eq…
  • ditto, and signed SW:TOR is not supposed to be Swg, or recreate Swg's sandbox nature, nor was ever aimed to get the old swg players that, without offense, served out that their purpose many moons ago  and are, in the present market spectrum of MMO…
  •  think it is fairly obvious by now that if one tries to see SW:TOR in the light of PRE-CU SWG, ST:TOR will be a failure. The catch tho is that ST:TOR isn't supposed to be PRE-CU SWG. The idea that it would was generated only in and by the mind of …
  • There is not really that much going in attacking wow's subscription numbers at this point. Blizzard and most important vivendi's repport show it all, and vivendi itself is still under EU legislation (that is less liberal than NA legislation), Al…
  • Originally posted by butter1011 Originally posted by Dkevlar   The only real true "contra" to wow is that, due to the lack of any real competition, players have overplayed the product to the point of exhaustion. But that is not wow's or blizzar…
  • Originally posted by Zorndorf I did some research and the only thing I came up with was that in the future they would include "phasing" techniques on the old world envirnmonts. So new content/adventures would open up to high level characters in o…
  • I do agree with you- and any unbiased sane person should also. this particular game has been so developed and enhanced that sits lonely on a king of the hill position when it comes to "all" that , with todays technology, can be offered by a MMORPG…
  • IMHO, what the OP is saying is that the wow player base in a sense, makes or break any mass targeted MMORPG. ANd I guess he is correct since every broad audience MMORPG, with the exception of LOTRO, released after WOW failed/bombed. And LOTRO surviv…
  • The game doesn't suck that much really. But it will only attract a niche (rpg'ers that like pvp and full loot) from a niche ( rpg'ers that like sanbox/skill driven games) from another niche (rpger's) from another, bigger, niche (mmorpgers). Whil…
  • I dont' know. Almost 10 years ago, games like Darkfall or based in some of the premisses that support Darkfall were incredibly fun for me. But not now anymore. I did tried to enjoy Darkfall. But couldn't. It didn't had to do with aventurine, or th…
  • In a post Imperial period, yes I agree, you can "eradicate" the presence of the force from the story. But in a story arc that, from what we gather, evolves between EP3 and EP4, it is somewhat harder. let me draw a comparison: trying to set a histo…
  • Originally posted by clearSam Originally posted by unithrow Have our standards for an MMO grown beyond acceptance? For instance, if this game came out with EQ1 graphics... in the EQ1 era, it would be a pretty damn good competitor, but now, the …
  • The force (jedi or sith) has to be present . Even if as a second liner. I do agree that the bulk of fighting (and even apparently executing order 66) was done by non force sensitive individuals. Yet the force is the "reason d'etre" of the war and mo…
  • I once had a great idea regarding this game... hit the cancel subscription button. Every 3 months I make a 30 day sub. After 15-20 days my original idea kick in.
  • EA changed and it's changing their ways for the "better". Is that  "better" the general good? Hmmmm... hard to say  since the reason why they are doing it is because they plan to enter in the micro transaction areas with some of their online games a…
