I don't understand why people still make MMOs, are they that delusional?

Lets make a clone of WoW then act surprised when nobody wants to leave the game they've invested five years of their miserable in to in order to invest the next five in to it.

1. Yes, and all of those people the new MMOs are trying to attract have friends playing WoW. That is probably the #1 reason they all fail, why build a new community when you already have one in WoW?

2. I liked it. The character progression was 100% what I was predicting and I thought the plot was a little too custom tailored to drive the character development but despite it all being a touch convenient it was a good book. Not as good as 5 and 6 but better than the last one or the banshee one.

I find it depressing that 364 days out of the year I don't have a new Hollows book to read.


Speaking of books, have you read Kevin Hearn's series? I think you will like it, the women are all lying bitches and the man is forced to condescend to them constantly then either kill them for being deceitful or bed them.

TOR is already hemorraging subscribers. They'll be very lucky if they've got 500k by the end of the year.

The article you linked to seems to have a factual error right at the top, too: The CEO actually said that they've sold 1.7 million boxes, and only that a "majority" of those were subscribers. A majority of 1.7 million could be as low as 850,000 people. That would be a pisspoor release for such a major MMO. Maybe someone actually has the quote where the CEO said there were 1.7 million subscribers.

The game is coming up on it's three month anniversary, and is coming to the time where the games success will actually be truely measured. Once the 3-month and 6-months come up for renewal, I expect that you will see subs drop precipitously.

The game already has a rep as a glorified single player game, and anyone knowledgable about MMO's will know that about TOR.

The question already has become whether they can continue to draw in enough new subs to offset the ones they lose when people get bored of paying a subscription fee for a single player game.

I played my commando 8 hours yesterday. He is level 25 now and has his speeder. This class is a butt kicker.

End games that revolve around dailies are not my cup of tea. PvP in SWTOR is so bad it's not even worth the effort.

As succinct a summary of the game as anyone could write.


I really, really hate the daily quest model. It is a horrible way to do progression.

I think everyone hates this grinding model. But, it can be changed. This game has so much right in its infancy, I think it will be a standard for awhile.

I know people said wow was great 1-60 and then awful at the level cap but man, there has never been a game remotely like SWTOR in terms of how much the game experience degenerates once you hit the level cap.


It's like playing two totally different games.
