  1. can confirm still bugged, just tried to do this and can't interact with any of the relays
  2. Blizzard had Pandaren and monks long before that jack black animated movie everyone is so ignorantly claiming wow stole the idea from. Hell Burning Crusade was going to have Pandaren as a race and monk as a class but they scraped the plans for it due to china pitching a fit.
  3. Still does not change the fact that most sub based games that went F2P has completely died shortly there after. prime example, City of heroes. Best F2P model ever. and they have recently announced they are closing down the game in November and paragon studios is being shut down by NCSOFT.
  4. If he lived or really did die is irrelevant. Whats more important is what happened to his mask >.>.
  5. hence why i said handled just right. i would like to direct everyones attention to this Gota give bioware props.
  6. yes wookie and trandoshan races would have been easy to implement, as would have been cathar.
  7. F2P did wonders for city of heroes, isense going f2p i have seen more new power sets and costumes added to the game via a cash shop then i did in two years of the game being a pay to play model.
  8. the bar chart can be a bit misleading, the graphs showing in the mioolons, if you look closely tor and wow west hadroughly the same growth in the same rough amount of time before tor lost subs. at that time wow had its growth economy was in much better shape, and there was only swg, ffxi, and eq it realy had to contend with. Tor on the other hand has had much more games to contend with being released at the same time with a much more unstable economy. if given the ideal conditons wow had i doubt we would have had the decline.
  9. now I don't see free to play as a failure, i should have clarified what i meant, most people do though, i played COH and thier version of the free to play model has actualy been very sucesssful from what i have seen, how ever soes handling of thier free to play model of eq 1 and 2 basicly rips me off, i have to pay again for contwent i already purchased years ago to access clsses i had bought when buying specific expansions that they took away from me when they went free to play. I liken F2p to dealing drugs or handing out free samples to people at the grocery store, give em enough to try it, get hooked, then charge for each thing they want in addition to that little bit of a freebi after they get hooked.
  10. very possible someone earlier said there was a correction made to the post I was refering to.
  11. welcome to censorship and "violatings ones rights" which would lose them even more subs if not handled just right.
  12. because i have seen it happen to many times already in various mmo's people tend to go back and check out thier games from time to time to see if its changed or gotten new content and such. basic mmo trend realy.
  13. kinda feel like im playing a certain blizzard game everytime a patch hits.
  14. pretty basic realy, we failed, our investors pulled out, we need to salvage what we can, so lets let people buy the content they want, and make money hand over fist providing a subpar product with the illusion of being free. best scheme realy.
  15. you do realize anyone can claim to be something they are not right? you do realize professionals are wrong sometimes and everyone does make mistakes? if that werent the case then the great depression never would have happened. champions online, city of heroes, lotro, have all seen a profit growth in thier games sense going free to play, hell lotro makes so much money from going free to play they actualy have televison ads like wow and tor. so no, my statement was not false. and yes i did read the wall of text in its entirety. its opinion, and a damned good one I might add but as with all such things its only an opinion based off information they read and they dont have the entire picture either unless they are from EA's finance room.
  16. was stated somewhere few months back that monthly subs only count the actualy subs that had had thier free month expired and paid for thier first paid month.
  17. nothing i have seen points towards the market of MMOS dieing, there seems to be alot of mmos coming out every years, making thier initial sales, recouping production costs then turning a profit, lots of free 2 play models turning a huge a profit right now aswell.... if anything the monthly sub will die and everything will go free 2 play.
  18. +25 percent subs when people get bored with d3 +25 percent when people get bored with gw2 +50% when people give up on the crap that is mop.
  19. its MoPs class lvl system and talwent trees with a diablo skin. diablo 2's expansion was the best in the series.
  20. tera... its korrean.. what else would you expect from it? its not even an rpg, its just another hack and slash like diablo or devil may cry, with a monthly subscription and more players onscreen at one time. it will burn out pretty fast like gw 2 .
  21. np had to much free time on my hands when i was looking up the name of the sentient planet the yuzhan vong fly through space and hyperspace on during the new jedi order book series. never did find that planets name either after getting sidtracked with all the others.
  22. GW2 wont touch this, those same people would leave anyways. considering its free to play why would tor lose subs in the first place, same with d3, both are "Fad" games. they have a bright moment for a month or two then they die out in favor of other pc and console games of the same type that dont have a monthly fee.
  23. it comes down to luck and effort. If you dont have 2 hours to spend playing, you prolly shouldn't be playing an mmo in the first place, basicly a waste of money at that point in my opion, know what I mean? MMOS lose subs due to this very reason all the time. a typical flashpoint will take aboutt an hour or two depending on the group. your random button and in in 15 to 20 minutes could still take an hour or two depending on time of day and day of the week leaving you in the same situation you were just saying made you leave the game. I get into a fp in under five minutes asking in general chat. On my server master zhar lestin if your on at the right time there are more then enough groups and guilds recruiting you can't help but get into one.
  24. 200 comms for rakata relic to replace your matrix cube, you can get that in about 6 days doing all the daileys and heck if i remeber right the rakata ear piece is 120 cooms now, nevermind they introduced a new relic for dailey comms thats campaign level. those matrix cubes are pretty weak compared to something you can get from a week of farming, I know, i just went from being in greens and blues, to a full set of rakata with blackhole mods thrown in in about two weeks.
  25. yes there was a decline, then steady growth, every mmo has a decline like this during the first 6 months, your 2005 to 2007 number jump does not show thier quaterly subs its showing thier final subs after 13 months. never mind they lost 4 million subs this past december. you only prove my point, its always in a state of flux, everchanging. its chaos made manifest realy.
