So, the beans have been spilled, and it's now official that SWTOR have lost around 400.000 players since last update. Well, that's not necessarily bad news, at least not for me. Actually, I have a feeling that the players that have now left, is the players that simply expected this game to be something that it wasn't. A WoW clone.
I still see a lot of whiners on the forums, but I have a feeling that most of them have now left, propably returning for WoW, and I am actually happy that it happened. BioWare should now focus on getting new players that can appreciate the game for what it is- a MMO, with a strong focus on story elements and character development. This is what makes SWTOR stand out from the rest of the MMOS, and this is where we need to evolve further.
I am looking forward to new updates for legacy and more content in the future. It is my assumption that subs will increase again now that it's more clear what the game is like, and what it's strong points, and weak points, are.
Let the rest of us turn this community into a friendly, helpful one, instead of the negative "gimme this gimme that" community that it has been so far.
