Yet another thread propped up to a bunch of pages by the same 10-12 people talking about how the "sky is falling". Things around here never change.

Better question is: Why would we ever want underwater content?

The same place all fecal matter comes from, clearly.

Cleary "Everyone" is the imaginary flock of players that he was elected to speak for, the ones who hang on his every word and idea and only play games for the same reason he does.

To be fair, you should change your "the majority of people" to a "very vocal minority of people" to be more accurate. Everything else you said is correct, and one of a multitude of reasons why specific dates are never given.

The definition of an MMORPG is very clear. The intrepretation of what an MMORPG is varies greatly among different people. SWTOR is an MMORPG. Undeniably. Anyone disputing this has some idealistic idea of what an MMORPG is to them that they have created in their head that, in reality, has nothing to do with what an MMORPG actually is.

All of this information sounds good, and the LFG tool sounds like it is shaping up nicely. Get it working now as it stands (or at least as it is described) in 1.3, then they can add the finishing touch, the X-server toggle, to it sometime down the road, once they get X-server functionality working. It's shaping up just as I'd like for it to. I'm excited.

EDIT: Man, did I misread this post. It is painfully obvious to most of us why dates are not given in regards to computer program development, especially in the gaming industry. Why it is not obvious to everyone is a mystery.

Sorry, but when most complaint threads on this forum start out with, or contain the comment "I'm primarily a PvPer" it isn't hard to take the leap that most complainers are PvPers. People take much greater leaps in logic with much less evidence than that all the time around here.

Ruined the game? No. Ruined any point you were trying to make? Yeah, pretty much.

Spot on. It should be stickied somewhere with the title "READ THIS: Before you complain about no communication on these forums."

Maybe someday. But not someday anytime in the near future.

Don't know where the quote is either, but "superservers" were mentioned in passing. There are no plans in the works for them...at this point, they are little more than vaporware, or an idea on the "Wall of Crazy" at Bioware. If you expect them soon, prepare for disappointment.

Funny thing about predictions. They are generally wrong.

Translation: My OP class got nerfed and now it isn't OP anymore. THE TRAVESTY!

My opinion? We have all had the very same experience with WoW's LFD tool and the people using it (those of us who have used it). The difference: player perception. I don't let a few bad apples ruin my gaming experience. You do. That is the difference.

Next complaint: The LFG tool you guys gave us is cool, and it speeds up the process some, but it still doesn't fix the issue of taking inordinate amounts of time to find a group. Can we get that XServer one now, please? It's better articulated than the actual complaint will be, but you get the idea.

And you accuse others of using hyperbole to try and prove a point.

They won't let you go to the Fatman for free. Why would they do this? If you really want to move to a high pop server, it is going to cost you. I would hope they would not allow this and risk overpopulating a few servers at the cost of all their others. Time will tell, indeed. Just be ready for disappointment.

Oh, it wasn't worded very clearly. I know we agree on the toggle. I was agreeing to disagree on the particular reasons why you think XServer is bad and why I do not.

Yeah, maybe there are many reasons. I don't concern myself with what other people are doing; it doesn't affect me the way it seems to affect some of the people around here. Best part about getting a bad group with a group finder is, you don't have to stay there. You can drop group, queue up for another in a few minutes, and go about your business. We'll just have to agree to disagree. But denying the tool based on the subjective view of a few people around here is ridiculous.

Wrong. I think it should be a themebox instead.

Sure, add a toggle. I'm all for choice. If you are willing to wait longer for a same server group, kudos. Most people are not willing to wait. Because the wait will be longer. I'd venture to guess considerably longer. And just for the record, it's all fine and dandy that people blacklisted others. But don't think for a minute that you were denying anyone groups. Outside your circle of friends and maybe your guild, your blacklist meant nothing. I'm more inclined to think less of the person crying about a ninja than the actual ninja themselves. The term "ninja" too often is used when someone legitimately loses a piece of gear to someone else, and they feel they deserved it more than the other person, than an actual instance of someone stealing gear just because they can. Probably the whole "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" thing going on here, for me at least.

I usually agree with the things you say, but this one is just bad. Polling the forums is not an accurate representation of the playerbase. It is biased as most of those on the forums are those concerned with communities in the first place. Most of us don't care. We just want to play a game and experience as much of it as possible. Xserver allows this better than anything else. I want to run flashpoints, I don't want to create e-Friends. I have plenty of friends here in the real world. Xserver will come, once metrics show that same server does not get more people to the content. I'm all for a tool that allows both, but we all know that no one would use the same server option, as the queue times will be longer, because the pool of players will be smaller.

Mergers? Never. Transfers? On the way.
