Congratulations, you waited years and put your life on hold to play a crappier version of WoW in space with pointless cut scenes and mediocre voice acting.

The difference is that WoW continued to get better and better after release, that's why it grew exponentially. SWTOR has steadily continued to get WORSE, hence why they are bleeding subscriptions. And having 1.3 million subscriptions when your competition consists of an 8 year old game that people are tired of (WoW) and a niche game that not many people enjoyed (RIFT) is not remarkable. Watch that number plummet now that GW2, Terra, and D3 are arriving. Not to mention Mists of Pandaria, which people will play even though they say that they won't.

You mad? Because I obviously upset you enough to warrant a response, so I have succeeded. You've done nothing but make me laugh. Please, by all means continue.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Bioware you are so incompetent. Do you have a bunch of monkeys working on this game? I haven't played in over a month, but it sure is entertaining and hilarious to see how BAD you are at handling this "MMO." You should probably just plan on down time for Thursday too, since the patch tomorrow to "fix" this issue will undoubtedly break something else.

Let's not forget all of the people who re-subscribed for Rated Warzones in 1.2. Assuming they subscribed three days before 1.2 when the patch was announced, as many did, their subscriptions have yet to expire. Any way you look at it... there are a LOT of people who are currently subscribed to this game for whatever reason and are not playing it. The servers reflect this. In the past two weeks, The Fatman has dropped from Full to Very Heavy in prime time. There may be 1.3 million people subscribed to SWTOR, but there is no way all of those 1.3 million people are still playing.

Someone has 5 days left on their account, but hasn't played in 20 days. They have a lv.50, and therefore receive the free month even though they will never use it. They are counted as a subscriber. This was the case with many people. I fail to see how this is not inflating subscription numbers, knowing that these reports were coming up this month.

You had to have an active paid subscription in order to get the free 30 days. Bioware, if nothing else, is good at coming up with clever ways to pad their subscriptions and hide what's really going on.

I still have 6 days left on my subscription. I have not played the game in a month or more. I am not alone, many people I know bought 3 month or 6 month subscriptions... and even more subscribed for 1.2 hoping there would be Rated Warzones. If it were not for that particular Bait and Switch, the numbers would be even lower. I guarantee it.

Honestly? Yeah, I'd be happy. I'd love to see this game sacrificed as an example to developers everywhere that you can't take a popular IP, throw a bunch of money at it, and expect people to pay for your crap. This game is mediocre at best. Bioware had this game handed to them on a silver spoon, so many people love Star Wars. The fact that they screwed it up so badly points to their incompetence. The industry needs to be sent a message, otherwise the trend of the last 8 years will continue. Mediocre, half-assed MMO's rising and falling in less than a year. But this game won't shut down tomorrow. It will limp along, just look at Warhammer. And yes, this game is Warhammer all over again. Believe me, I was there.

In the past two weeks, Full servers have dropped to Very Heavy. Very Heavy servers are now simply Heavy. Heavy servers have become Standard, and there are more Light servers at prime time than ever. That's really all that needs to be said.

I hate to break it to you, but basing your opinion on other peoples' opinions is extremely ignorant. Think for yourself. This goes for almost anything reasonable in life, not just video games.

FACT: You saw one instance of people (who probably didn't know what they were doing) banging on a keep door for what seemed to you like 15-20 minutes. FACT: I never claimed that Mythic didn't. As a matter of FACT I said it was nothing original and reminded me of Warhammer in the first point of my post. FACT: What does this have to do with anything? I never claimed that Mythic didn't have that in DAoC, I played DAoC. What point are you trying to make here? It's obvious that you don't know what you're talking about, and I don't consider someone who watched another person play a video game on an internet stream a credible source for an opinion on said game. So I'll just end the argument now.

So let me get this straight. You didn't actually play the game, and yet you're forming opinions and spreading those opinions around as fact. Without actually playing the game. Yeah, ok.

I noticed no Ability Delay, except for a few lag spikes causing it here and there due to the influx of players. Did you actually play the game? Because in this thread you said you haven't played GW2 and you don't plan to. If you played this weekend, it means that you pre-purchased the game. So which is it? Did you play it, or are you just a SWTOR fanboy spreading falsities?

It's funny because despite your opinion about those things, SWTOR doesn't have any of them. You're telling me you like the fact that NPC's stand around, motionless, waiting in hallways for you to come along and kill them? You like running up to a static NPC, listening to some chatter, and running off to collect 10 alien fingers? Although Dynamic Events are just a mask for questing, at least ANet tried to do something new. It's more than banging on a Keep door, you obviously don't know how to work Siege equipment. And if you read what I wrote, I said several times that it's far from perfect. Should probably quit being such a fanboy.
