The best thing to happen is this game failing, what are you talking about? It will prove to developers that you can't produce a husk of a game with a cherry on top and have everyone flock to it for eternity. It will force devs to actually make quality products and not just rehash the same crap over and over. It will show devs you have to put attention to detail in all aspects of your game. In general, it will help produce better games. Thank god SWTOR is failing.

I hope I can be as hardcore as you someday.......

I have a feeling the max server load is actually quite small, so when you see a server that appears to be very busy or full or whatever, it's not the type of huge numbers you would assume. The lame sharding hurts of course also.

I know right, how ridiculous for people to demand game system mechanics and features comparable to other mmo's released over the last 2-4 years.

March for JUST guild banks? Seriously good lord - when is the UI going to be updated, next fall? The only thing promising in that is the full legacy system, which sounds cool.

The engine must have some SERIOUS issues if is forced to do the instancing, can't handle the graphics, and maybe that's also why there is such little amounts of scripted events for npc's and mobs? What a shame.

"So no, we won't have high resolution textures in a 2012 AAA game anytime soon." From what I read it's not a "anytime soon" thing, and just simply a "never" thing.

Uhhhhhh, the quests are the same dude, they just tell you how you're going to kill x amont of this in a voice instead of a text box.....

Lot's of talk about SWTOR being a clone of this or that, but I say "Hey guys, come on!" That's what I say. I mean if anything it's a theme park clone, not to a specific game. But speaking of clones..................... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJIsdl4BL2Q

6/10 is what is it.

This video tells the tale of the whole game regarding world immersion. Yeah the story is immersing, but my god, the world's are the most bland ever. Take a look at this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3Rrk6lgi24&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL

lick your girlfriend's feet like you do TOR's?

I remember before playing the game how I had planned on rolling every class 100% for the story aspect. I'll tell you one thing - you can throw that 8 x 200 hour idea out the window for rolling alts - you couldn't PAY me to work my way through some of these zones more than MAYBE 2 times. Good grief.

I can't help but lol at the irony of this post.......but it just shows more about the game than it does you to be honest.

Dude don't you realize it's just SILLY and RIDICULOUS to expect a game that's released to actually work right?!?! I mean, come on, WOW was buggy on release too right? ALL mmo's are super buggy at launch! *Cough* What about RIFT *Cough*

I've seen a lot of posts around about the amazing graphics of TOR and have seen the water mentioned quite a few times actually. Curious as to what you think of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vmk4onieEiM&feature=youtu.be

no come on just the Star Wars ip and Bioware followers are enough to keep it higher than that. 6 months: 400-600k. In a year after all the other big name mmo's come out: 200-300k

Yeah I'll agree with that, even though I think the QUALITY of RIFT is much better. I don't think it's that much more fun but........yeah, will definitely have more than Rift

Pretty much this is my guess.

I wish I knew what their "brand new end game system that no one has done before" thing was SUPPOSED to be, because there sure ain't nothing there. If it's the Legacy system LOL what a joke, that has nothing to do with being a new "end game system".

Dude I understand you're going for fanboi of the year but you may have to step up your game just slightly, you have a lot of competition!

Cool story - too bad RIFT's was way better.
