a week or so before rift comes out expect to see lots of changes. You know the ones that blizzard said wont happen and aren't planned.



Maybe, but in the end Blizzard fanboys will not leave WoW no matter what is offered as an alternative. It was true right from beta until now, it's not changing.



That's what people said about SWG fanbois. But SOE finally managed to make even them mad! It was quite a feat imo. (What was the name of the combat change? I forget... NGE?)

Blizzard is attempting the same thing imo. We'll see how successful they are.

I, on the other hand, prefer a command-line system 'cause i'm so hardcore
/north /north *You encounter an [Avatar of the god Set]!*
/cast sheild *sheild spell unavailable*
/csat shield *csat: unknown command*
*[Avatar of Set] beheads [Peasant]*

There were actually 2 major revamps to SWG. The first was the CU, which actually wasn't that big, or that bad, but still much bigger than anything WoW has done, unless you combine EVERYTHING WoW has done to date.

The other was the NGE. The vaunted "New Game Experience", and the reason why Smedley needs to be bus shocked. He single handedly killed that game. Yeah, it's still running, but last I heard they were running on fewer than 5k subscribers, but this is only rumor. That's active subscribers, not revenues garnered by the Station Pass, which imo is the only reason that game hasn't folded yet. SW:TOR will kill it for sure. All the Star Wars fanbois (like myself) will have a different SW fix, and how could SW:TOR possibly be worse than SWG?

Post count just means you spend too much time reading and not enough playing.

Yeah. I really dont see a drastic drop in numbers when Rift comes out. A bunch will leave, but it wont make anyone at Blizz cringe in fear that WoW will be dying anytime soon.



The last thing I want honestly is a lot of WoW players moving over to Rift (even though yes, I am one of them). Why? The reason I'm sick of WoW in large part is the 'community' [cough][cough]. The level of childlike behavior, rudeness, crassness, 'me! me! me!' attitude, makes me frickin hate it now. And in the PvP battlegrounds (where I use spend most of my game time), these days 1/3 are afk or otherwise botting, 1/3 are just completely clueless morons or intentional asshats, and maybe 1/3 are decent players trying to win.

I miss the days of early mmos like EQ or DAOC where the community was much smaller, tighter, and people's online reps actually counted for something. Hell, I remember a player so well liked by the EQ community, people literally logged on to form an kind of honor guard line as a send off when he decided to leave the game. Sunmoon, if anyone here remembers.
QFT!!!

Yeah he was just trying to avoid the debuff, wasting your time in the process.
I'd have done the same than you - at least HE got annoyed too.
Typical PUG idiot.
