They likely estimated their user base at launch wrong and opened too many servers spreading the population too thin. It wasn't that there were bugs at launch, it's the time that it took to fix them is the problem and I'm sure people quit because of it. WoW had a lot of bugs and server problems at the start, but unlike now there weren't many MMOs out there for people to go to so people stuck with WoW. Unfortunately EA likely rushed the game out for Christmas when it could have used to some time to iron things out. This game is going to need some pretty innovative things to bring back people to this game. 1.2 was a step in the right direction though

Probably shouldn't have gotten rid of it. Just added lets say a 30 min - 1 hour cooldown to prevent griefing.

My CPU hovers around 50c with the stock fan, while playing. I haven't checked my GPU temps but the fan isn't louder than any other game I've played, and if the fan was maxing out I'd certainly hear it because it sounds like a jet engine when it does.

People switched to Horde in WoW because they were for the most part the superior pvp side, probably due to the fact that more mature players picked horde. I guess people figured the same would happen in this game so they went Empire figuring it's SWTOR's horde.

If people start acting like jerks if they can hide behind the LFG tool, then you're community was built on a falsehood since you've been socializing with a bunch of deceptive people. What's the value of community based on that? Seems like it doesn't matter if it destroys that community. Maybe some people don't wish to be part of your vision of the server community either.

WoW was an EQ clone when it launched, people still flocked to it. Yes Blizzard an established player base, but so does Bioware and it also has Star Wars behind it as well. I suspect SWTOR will branch off in it's own direction as more content and changes are added much like WoW did. No it can't yet compete with WoW in terms of content because WoW has had over 7 years of development while SWTOR just got released but SWTOR is ahead of where WoW was in terms of content when it launched and it also had a much smoother launch. You mean like the rogue quest line that was never finished?

WoW was hardly solid when it launched. The server I was on was down for days straight, I think I got credited at least full week for server downtime and this happened two months after launch. It took at least a month or two before they decided to replace the hardware. SWTOR for all it's minor annoyances had a much more solid launch than WoW did, and I would hope 7 years into development it would be a WoW would be a solid game.

What if your a DPS and the group is looking for a Healer, well there goes the opportunity to meet new people.

Very rarely will I see a group forming for a flashpoint on a planet, it happens in the fleet. It's also kind of hard to quest on a planet while looking for a healer or tank for a flashpoint groups form for those in a different location.

Since when did the dialog choices you can make depend on your spec? I suppose spamming LFM Healer for 45 minutes to an hour is more immerse though.

No mentions of a fix for Boarding Party's loot chests. Sometime they aren't able to be opened.

Don't say Dungeon Finder, you'll upset all the people who demand you sit in the main city and spam LFG xxxxx for an hour because that builds a sense of community.

There's only so much you can do for release. That's why MMOs are games that have ongoing development. It's nice break from leveling quests, so I don't mind it.

Except they discounted the game by $5 so in the end the game is the same price. You aren't paying any extra.

If you waited to enter in your preorder code then that is why you can't get in.

I have thought about that too, does it mean up to the last week meaning stopping at the 24th or does it mean they will grant access up to the last week meaning to Nov 30th.

If people cancel over a few days they probably would have stopped playing after their free 30 days anyway.
