leveling via real time waiting was kinda meh to me but at the same time you not only level your character with real time but you level your skills on how to play in that time as well, thats what got me to stay. You don't just level your character you level your knowledge irl about the game as well.

EVE Online with the new dust 514 PS3 game and the new grafx EVE will grow even more. CCP actually asks their player base what they want. Not to mention has a council of players voted in by players to keep CCP on track. (depending on who gets in there they tend to only hear about one area of the game. nul sec ect for people who know what I'm talking about) EVE has been around for 9 years all ready, going on 10 this next year. I'ts because they care about their dedicated player base and not a hand full of cash like LA, BW, and EA.

they are trying to get everyone to be on one server to show BW they can shut down a few servers and that the rest of the servers arn't really needed.

yes let a person in the US play on an EU server... the US servers are empty.

and yet you have the assumption I am on a quiet server, when in fact all servers are quiet due to lack of players on this game.

he just can't understand how anyone could hate Star Wars, it's not about the game. you will find Star Wars has a cult like flowing, just like WoW, DnD, any other "nerdie" (for lack of better words) game/movie title. They tend to lack the ability to see issues with something they love so much. I play games to have fun. My "fun" is to work toward something or work on my statistics. I am a numbers person. Which is why I enjoy another space game I have mentioned before over SW. But the point is Star Wars clams to be cutting edge with their story line Questing (and it is really neat) but they fall behind in every other aspect in the MMO market. While I quested and leveled I really really liked this game. When i got end game 2 months ago, the cool and new cutting edge aspect fell off.

the only part of this game that is even half way enjoyable is the leveling, and even that gets old. and ok sorry star fox came out what 4 years after the 80s... i was like 8 when I played it, that is old My point is, if SW wants to compete with the MMO market they have to make something new and exciting, so far all they have done new would be the story line Questing. I did enjoy that.

so in a role play you become your character to take on evil and banish it from the world and an RPG you control your character to take on evil and banish it from the world.... ummmm ok...

Ranked PvP: something they should have had months ago... Congratulations Star wars has moved forward 10 years to present day gaming. Space Comedations: I remember playing star fox for the original nentendo it was pretty cool, but this isn't the 1980s anymore and Flash points: This i could see if there was a guild big enough to even do them on my server. PvP gear: do War zones untill your blue in the face to get WZ points to trade them in for Champion points and then trade them in for Centurian points.... does anyone here see a huge waste of time here? or is this just me... Why do I have to trade in points for points for points when all you have to do is make the higher end gear cost more.........

well role playing is where you act like a character you create and a RPG (role play game) is where you act like a character you create in game.... wait a second.....

the fact there is nothing to do end game makes this game strictly Role Play

I wouldn't have a reason to, I would log on see if i liked it and then log off. Not spend a month using my 14.99 to talk on the forums.

or maybe there is only 20 people on the republic fleet? something is wrong when a "trade hub" only has 20 people on the thing. EVE Online (who has a lower player count) has over 1000 people in each of their "trade hubs"

this would be an MMORPG if people played it only thing people do on here is PvP in war zones and thats because it puts them in a group with random people... World pvp is nonexistent, groups on my server for flashpoints are nonexistent, people don't even talk in general chat anymore.

that is a bit over dramatic if you ask me... I think SW should go F2P so i can come back after 3 to 4 months and see if it's been improved without wasting money on a month sub.

only way this game will last 10 years is if it goes free to play, because after a year or two it will probably cost them more than they will get out of this.

I renewed my subscription after being away for a few months, and I have to say I am very sad at what I see. (omg I'm going to get banned for saying I don't like something) anyway -_- After all the reviews of "subscription base going up" where is everyone? My suggestion is to put all the PvP servers together and all the PvE servers together so you can have some sort of social interaction with people. 7:00pm cst and there is at most 30 people on the republic fleet who don't even talk when you ask a simple question like "Do illium dailys still exist." Second suggestion would be a full grafx overhaul. I don't mind my characters looking like cartoons but my gear should at least look like something I want to have on. not some heavy armor with smudges on it for "features"

I would be at work... you know like us NON lazy bums do things

I think they should do what EVE online does. 15 to 30 min down time every day. yes it will still be down on EU time zone but its only 30 min tops

if you don't like it don't play... I don't like the ability lag so i stoped my account. I suggest you do the same. As my family always said Vote with your feet, AKA don't go back to a place and spend money if you don't like what they do or how they do things.

yes make other people wait because you want them to... Your time zone happens to be when the lowest ammount of people are on AND ITS ONE FLIPING DAY GET OVER IT

Fix the game thats broken before you add new CRAP that is by the way... still broken. Wish BW was as smart as I was.

because it's the only good thing that comes from buying it because the rest of the stuff sucks...

I agree, what the OP just said is exactly what every other failed MMO player has said in the past next thing you know after the free month is up people will be saying "omg theres only 10 on the republic fleet the empire outnumber us 4 to 1 do something BW (Hint you will see only see 40 people on the emp fleet) ~edit~ I ended my sub and I'm back on EVE Online

maybe you should try hitting the spacebar and not let your ADD take over while leveling. thats how people are 50 I actualy only hit spacebar on side missions around level 40ish because there all the same... "For the republic blah blah blah blah omg empire bad blah blah blah" but yeah levelings not hard you just arn't trying hard enough, or go afk a lot.
