  1. It's totally not cannon, Star Wars is gore, and death, and blood! There's nothing cute in Star Wars! Think of the damage this is going to do to peoples..... IMMERSION!!1! The empire wasn't brought down by a bunch of creepy teddy bears either.
  2. I think people get all defensive because they view your server's low population as a direct attack on their family (in this case the sweet baby SWTOR). They think people are doom-saying when all people are saying is that their server is declining, it could easily be migration causing it. Of course there are those who are yelling doom and those who live to fight with them, but those people are just e-thuggin' and don't matter in the long run. If someone's experience is that bad they need to quit, the fighting is completely pointless.
  3. You just have to read the WoW forums to realise that screaming doom is a full time job to some people.
  4. Wait a minute here. At the end of January there was over 1.7 million subscribers and on March first the game is "almost up to" 1.7 million subscribers? This is exactly why I never listen to market talk, I just worry about whether I'm having fun or not.
  5. Clam on the Half Shell Day is at the end of the month as well. People are busy; that's all that's happening here.
  6. The population is fine, Arbour Day is coming up and people are busy preparing the saplings.
  7. All of the threads in the world complaining about dead servers, asking for cross server LFG and server transfers are pointless. You're from a server with a dwindling population? Don't complain on the forums, you'll just be attacked by the forum defence forces. Vote with your wallet. Join the exodus you are experiencing and be done with it. All this fighting and complaining isn't accomplishing anything other than making this community look even worse.
  8. I think people fear it because in truth, Blizzard made instances cross server but not friends lists, or ignore, or chat. All to protect they pay for transfer market, Trion didn't bother with any such measures because they had no transfer market to protect. I have watched some very good guilds form when players who were doing random instances together decided to all move to the same server to play together more. Though i would still like to see a more robust set of cross-server tools. Of course I didn't move, I'm on Wolfsbane, the best server in any MMO ever.
  9. There was about ten people in on the conversation. And yes, that's EXACTLY what general chat is for, that's what it was always for "chatting", topics are not restricted except by the terms of service. Every single MMO developer I have ever played a game by, going back to UO, not only tolerates that kind of general discussion, but encourages it. This "clear chat I need to be listened to immediately" crap is an attitude that has always been seeping in at the edges of every single place for discussion on earth. General chat is for conversations. Sure it's also for trying to beg for attention by trying to one up each other with jokes or insults as well.
  10. If only an MMO at some point in history had instituted a short grace period one purchases that were made with tokens. you know, just in case a brief freeze or lag spike landed the wrong thing in your bag. If only... Oh well it's nice to dream.
  11. This is a quality estimate I can get behind! Let's organise a fafillongagillion man (and woman) march!
  12. I just checked with the hive mind and it seems that Blizzard do everything horribly and should all lose their jobs for killing kittens. ONE OF US ONE OF US ONE OF US ONE OF US.
  13. I got that one as well, and worse yet we were talking about rotations and then: DarthBonghit: "STOP SPAMMING CHAT this games community is bad enough" Me: "We're using general chat to chat..." Darthbonghit: "ST-ehf-U spammer" Darthbonghit: "LF2M tank and healz Athiss den GTG!!!" I'm not kidding about the being accused of ruining the community either. Has anyone else noticed that the ones that scream community the loudest are usually the cancerous lesions on the community?
  14. It's internet group-think, it comes from the WoW-hate cult and its amazing ability to radiate its thoughts to the unthinking through catch phrases. Politicians use the same technique, gullible people will start to think whatever you tell them to think if you drive the thought home hard enough, repeat the phrase constantly and never deviate from topic. Nevertheless, my heart goes out to those who get all excited to log on and get something going only to log off two hours later with an empty feeling. I recommend using the same technique, come up with a catch phrase and abuse it in every dialogue, every channel available to you. Bioware may take notice of you at some point, or you can lead with your money and let EA take notice before Bioware does.
  15. Generally the release of a game like ME3 will cause a drop in activity more than a drop in subs. I know that when you're playing the number of subs is irrelevant if no one is doing anything but a drop in activity like that is seldom permanent. I have no real science to back that up or anything it's just what I have observed over the years.
