First of all, no you didn't. Keep thinking you did, though. Secondly, why exclude the whole Asian market? They still pay to play the game...why are you excluding them? 10 million. Lol.

Citation where they said that, please? And what is a "casual carebear"? Is this game supposed to cater to the more hardcore crowd when it doesn't even have a combat log and people cleared EV on hardmode within the first two weeks of release?

This is pretty funny. First of all, WoW is not dying, and even if it was it is definitely not because of SWTOR. What a joke.

Huh? I've used it about 15 times now and have yet to notice ANYTHING that you mentioned, which leads me to believe you haven't even used it, but probably heard from someone else how "awful" it is.

This 100%.

Oh please, Blizzard has absolutely nothing to be scared of with this game. A failed WoW clone with far less features and an abysmal endgame, but hey, the story is good, right? WoW isn't bleeding subs, but this game will

Right now, I would rather have it take 3-4 months until BW can develop their end game to something a lot more viable. PvP needs balancing, operations are easier than end game flashpoints and the lfg system, the /who thing, is a complete and utter joke, rendering people stuck in the fleet for hours trying to find groups in /1. The whole end game is a joke.

/5 char to you, OP.

Except that it is ridiculously easy to get to 50 and you can get to 50 by now by only playing an hour a day if you got into EGA. Anyways, nice read OP. I don't care if he is a real analyst or investor or not, doesn't detract from the facts he presented forth. If the devs don't add more features and squash bugs the only people that will be around are the fanboys and star wars fans. I mean, what kind of MMO makes 4 man flashpoints HARDER than an actual operation? Ridiculous. Flashpoints should be a stepping stone to operations, not the other way around. Get with it, Bioware. The only reason why I still play is because a lot of my friends do but all I do is my PvP daily and I'm done. Even out of my friends and guildies a lot have seemed to have disappeared the past week or so.

Agreed, OP.

Right, 1.5 mil subs has beaten 10 mil. Math must be hard, huh?

Drugs are bad, mmmmmk?

Lol, it's like it predicted SWTOR and its fanboys/girls, but it was published before SWTOR was even announced

Wrong. First of all, warcraft realms isn't known to be accurate whatsoever. And even if it was, it says AVERAGE concurrent players, while the 350k concurrent users for TOR is at PEAK times. There is a huge difference. TOR isn't going to hurt WoW whatsoever and if people think so then I am afraid they are delusional as they come.

This.

agreed 100% with everything you've said.

Biodrones, gotta love 'em Oh, and I agree 100% about the forum community here.

Sorry, didn't realize McDonalds was a DISCUSSION forum, to discuss McDonalds. Apples and oranges, bud.

Guy on guy would be ok but nothing else...

That's funny, even on "low" there are MORE people doing stuff than here on SWTOR, as for 50% of the servers being made into trial servers, why lie?

WoW has cinematics too though, so only one thing I suppose.

Oh, but according to the GM of my guild, this game is killing WoW, and is the nail in the coffin

Rift also had, well, Rifts and invasions, this game has dailies I guess, then again Rift also had dailies as well.

So sad that a level 50 only logs on to do dailies, I don't even do dailies, too boring. I just sit in my guild's vent, hoping that someone is doing something then proceed to beg them if I can tag along. This game is wonderful, isn't it?

First of all, I reached 50 about 5 days ago and I was in the first wave of EGA invites and I never skipped any content, playing about 5-6 hours a day. Leveling in this game is EASY, even easier than Rift. Don't blame laziness on other's supposedly not having a life.
