Not that you have bad ideas. But if you cannot understand that the reason behind LFG not popping instantly is NOT a lack of player but a bad distribution of Tank/Heals/DPS and that cross server LFG would change nothing about it, then I'm much much less inclined to take your other ideas seriously.

This is not a valid argument. You should judge Bioware's insider by it's own likelihood of being true. I have read it. It is very, very, very unlikely to be true. The SOE insider knew stuff no one knew. In this case, the guy just says things everyone knows to be true (Cathar race for example) or just gives out generality about what being F2P would mean (coin store etc....)

It comes in waves... After good things (like the last world event, or when the transfers first happened), you see a lot of positive thread, but it does'nt last. Then, in between big updates, you have a normal period of cooling down, and this is where the negative posts come to their peak.

People are still believing this "insider" thing is true? Lol

I was not arguing that good reviews predict a successful future for a game. I was reminding Blavastsy that SWTOR did NOT get horrible reviews.

Horrible reviews? Where??? Even mmorpg which HATES swtor gave it 8.7/10 IGN 9/10 G4TV 5/5 Gamespot 8/10 Gamespy 4/5 Eurogamer 8/10 etc etc etc... those were good or excellent reviews. Horrible is 5-6/10 It amazes me how the internet community created a notion that SWTOR is bad and dying (or already dead) and afterward believed this notion, with evidence of the opposite. Droping numbers of subscription after a phenomenal launch was imho to be expected (not wished for, but expected). Sub numbers will stabilize, and maybe grow at some point, but I'm confident it will stay in the top 5 subscription based mmo's for a long, long time. Sadly, we will never know how GW2 fares a few months after launch because of the f2p model. But I can tell you it WILL go through the same cycle SWTOR is going through now. Never again will a game launch and grow and grow and grow like WoW did. WoW was an anomaly, and it will never, ever be like that again. Even Diablo 2 did'nt achieve that. Oh, and to the point of this thread: same feeling concerning GW2 for me. Can't play it for more than an hour top without getting an uneasy feeling. The questing hubs bore me, doing stuff until your bar fills up bores me... I agree I'm more a PvE'er than a PvP'er, and I hope the PvP community enjoys GW2 when it launches. But... I was expecting more or GW2. The feeling I get when playing it is NOTHING compared to the feeling I got when I first played SWTOR's beta...

Rift had some very good rythm of release during it's first few months. It HAS slowed down quite a bit after. BUT: 2 of those "new"-raids were set in already existing areas-environments (the famous slivers). The "Chronicles" were ALSO set in existing areas (and over in 10 minutes - this is the point where I unsubed) So they indeed gave out a lot of end game content, but were more lazy in environment development. But their engineers were awesome: they could program new stuff like LFG and slivers and new riftsand transfers very fast. (bugs were a problem, like in any mmo)

He added a missplaced "r" to his legacy name?

Lol. Drop it OP. It's a troll post. Yeah right, if a Bioware employee droped by to discuss "secret stuff", he would obviously talk about "secret stuff" everyone knows about (Cathar, new companion) and/or general ******** like "coin store". "best part" of his job is dropping by and read posts? "sorry bye gotta go" ? LMAO

By that logic, I already predict that GW2 will be dying. (by today's markets, there is NO way any MMO will keep the number of subs after the initial launch)

1) EA did'nt report any numbers since the 1.3 million. 2) 25k concurrent users peak?? They have about 25 active servers right now. JUST on the fleets, there are 2 instances of 200+ users each, times 2 factions. JUST on the fleets, that's about your 25k users.

bleh. The day they annouce they have raised the character limit to 16, you will have gazillions of complaints from those who have 17+ characters to consolidate on a server...

# of people on those server is way, way higher than what a "heavy or very heavy" server was a launch. No, there are no more 2 million people playing, everyone knows that. But the # of active servers is not an accurate evaluation of the # of subscribers.

You are imagining life on the destination servers much, much worse than it actually is. Either about node stealing, queues and lag, none of this is true.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere you could contact CS to get this transfer done manually.

They are not full to capacity. This incoming wave of mandatory transfers will be barely noticeable as most have transferred already.

Well, the active player should be transferring now. The inactive will be moved later. So you get your priority.

If he bough the game and suscribed to it, the speeder should be in your mail already. It's totally retroactive. BTW: a "week-end trial" and a "friend referal trial" are NOT the same thing.

There are 2-3 zones in Coruscant where you can't mount. I was slightly disappointed by that also. But really, you get them finished in no time, and you can enjoy your speeder in the other areas (some Coruscant zones and Taris)

Not more than decrease the chances of any game being published. Going digital will change nothing. Music did not disappear with the end of tapes (and soon CD's).

First time I ever got an alt higher than the teen levels, and I've played a LOT of MMO'S....

Went there. It was awesome. Meeting the original Yoda puppet from Episode V FTW

No one locked this obvious troll thread yet? Geez... I mean, the guy did finish Nightmare mode Explosive Conflict... He obviously knows what he's talking about.

Apparently you have a LOT of time to lose OP. Maybe you should use some to learn basic grammar
