Yes. Could it be better? Yes but that is true of all MMO's (at least for me).

MMO truths according to the internets... 1) Every game launch is buggiest launch ever. 2) Every launch is the biggest disaster of a launch ever. 3) The devs of game X don't care about their player base. 4) Game X should have stayed in beta for another year. 5) The server population is declining and the game is dying. Any thing that says otherwise is just propaganda. 6) Game A will die just as soon as game Game B is released, those devs really know what they're doing and everyone is waiting for it to be released. Then Game B is released and everyone realizes that it has strengths and flaws like every other game and Game C is the new messiah that will liberate gamers just as soon as its released. 7) Server mergers signal death of game, even though every game including WOW has had them. 8) No server mergers signal death of game. 9) The game should have never launched without "fill in the blank feature that some other amazing game has". And because of this it will fail. 10) The game is too much like WOW and not enough like WOW at the same time. 11) The game is too hard and too easy at the same time. 12) Why doesn't this brand new game have as many features as game X that has been out for X number of years and has had X number of expansions?

I think many (not all) who want server transfers are under the mistaken impression that they will be allowed to move to one of the "heavy" servers like Fatman. It won't happen. You will be allowed to move to standard or light servers.

Even when they eventually allow server transfers, it is highly unlikely that they will allow you to move to one of the busy servers (like Fatman). You will be forced to move to one of the light or standard servers.

You didn't look very hard. The General Forum. This forum is for discussions related to the films, the lore etc...

This is the second biggest selling north american mmo of all time. So no it doesn't need to go free to play.

Any chance that we could get a refresh button on the crew skills mission window?

This would be a great addition. I don't see why anyone would oppose this.

A great fix that I'm sure has been suggested before would be to give us a button on our crew skills mission page that will allow us to refresh the page. If you're trying to grind crafting materials (or whatever mission type you're after) it can be a pain having to log out to the character selection page because none of your missions are listed. I see no reason why we shouldn't be able to refresh the page. Also sometimes it becomes bugged and only 1 mission shows up which can be frustrating. I've actually had to log in and out 2 or 3 times in a row just to get a mission to show up. It seems like an easy enough fix (though I realize what often seems like an easy fix isn't as easy as one might assume) that would help to streamline the crafting/crew skills process.

You can't limit it to one run. If you did it would make it almost impossible for some people to level Social up past level 50 if they couldn't rerun flashpoints. Imagine if you didn't group much 1-50 and barely had any social and then at 50 you couldn't rerun flashpoints.

Really good article. Many people on here just don't understand the realities of coding and or how games are developed (not that I'm an expert, I'm not by any stretch). It sometimes helps to get peak behind the curtain. Sometimes what you think is a simple fix isn't so simple.

Multiple specs? Its so obvious and yet so brilliant it makes you wonder why no one else has thought of it yet...

With PVP, Space and Bonus Missions you don't really need to do all the quests. Outside of the main story quests you could skip the rest of the entire planet. Meaning, you could leave some quests to do for later when you level ALTS so you have some new content to look forward to.

Not really. Most of the reviews are positive. Is there some negativity? Sure but the severity of it is over stated. In general this game is in pretty good shape compared to most launches. From a sales perspective the only NA MMO to sell more this quick is WoW. This game is a success thus far. Now will it continue to be a success 3-6 months from now? Who knows. If they continue to fix things at the rate they have been I would say yes. The recent patch with delay fixes was a good step in the right direction and happened much quicker than most expected. This game is only a failure if you were expecting it to surpass WoW's early numbers (its first month wasn't quite as successful as WoW's but it was close) or if you were expecting it to reinvent the wheel. If you were expecting it to reinvent the wheel you have no one to blame but yourself since that was never promised. We've known for well over a year what this game would be for the most part. And anyone who has played Biowares single player games should have known what this game would be since its basically just one of their single player games done as an MMO. They more or less delivered what they said they would. A story driven theme-park MMO that caters to the casual player. Its funny because this game was rumored for years before it was announced. I remember on the old SWG forums people would make threads discussing a potential BioWare SW MMO. And they said all they needed to do was just make an MMO of KoToR. Gamers would always say just give us an MMO version of KOTOR when discussing what they wanted from a SW MMO. Well thats basically what they got so they should be happy.

I think you're over estimating the so-called negative backlash. All MMO forums look like this.
