The monthly fee is for access to game servers, and even then not 24/7.

They don't owe anyone anything.

This thread brought to you buy Lay-Z-Boy, the official chair of the armchair developer!

I rerolled because first I'm too impatient to wait for legacy rename, and second because I have yet to get a toon past 35 because I'm always changing my mind.

How do you know? Your not everyone else. You have no idea why someone stays or quits.

Wow, I feel pity for you. If you remove the 800 pound gorilla(WoW), success in the MMO area takes on a very different meaning. Is SW:tOR successful? Yes, but it can, as any game can, be improved upon. But those improvements won't be to everyone's liking.

Everything you "need" to play is already in game. Was in the game day one. Now as for everything you want? Well that's subjective to the individual player. Also if you have ever played MMO's before you would know that it takes time to implement things depending on the complexity and impact it has on game code.

Not everyone sits in front of a computer all day, or has a mobile phone capable of viewing the site. Twitter on the other hand is more readily available to masses.

Dual spec is not needed.

Your name and post are ironic.

Not much room in this thread with all the armchairs.

The title is pretty much states a staple of MMO development, just need to remove "untested"

It's more than I was expecting. But then I'm a realist and learned long ago that expectations usually sour experiences, especially when left to grow wildly and without reason.

Anyone else came to the conclusion we just expected to much? Yes, and not just this game, but many things in life.

I call bull on the article. I can see where the fallacy of how much it cost to produce the game came from.

All MMOs have bugs regardless of how long they have been around.

*sigh* So much for my Bounty Hunter "Baron Samedi", the human race even has skull facepaint.

When legacy was initially announced it was cross server, you should have seen the uproar that caused. That is why legacy is server only.

It's not a dead horse, it's been a puddle of glue for sometime. I have yet to find a f2p mmo that I liked so I would have to say no.

Right, because people don't cut back on the amount of time they play.

No I would not.

Blizzard employee in disguise I kid. On topic, my load times are not long. Never bothered me enough to actually see how long they were.

Not me, I learned long ago never have high expectations on anything until after I have read/watched/played something and was able to form my own opinion.

Only if they have already made up their mind that the game is in decline. We lie to ourselves all the time and it goes both ways. As to wether the game is growing or declining, the only people who actually know is BW and EA. But I would go out on a limb and say it's growing as it's been shown on the homepage that the game is expanding into new countries and territories, that suggests there is a consumer base wanting to play.
