DarrkLore Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) Ugh this again? Listen, I played Everquest, too, and you just have to deal with everybody pointing out WoW first. Yes, EQ got spots on the news for people commiting suicide and what not, but WoW had a greater success than EQ ever did. ( Yes WoW was a greater success, nobody can argue with that. But that wasn't my point. My point is that WoW was not the start of MMOs like a lot of people believe.

TheHeadCapper Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) Not even a few minutes ago you told me you weren't bashing WoW. This is bashing WoW, considering you're saying the game wasn't playable. It was, I was there, and aside from occasional lag spikes and disconnects on the first day or 2, I had 0 problems with WoW from then until now. Yes they weren't ready for the influx of players, but that just shows how popular it became in such a short period of time. I couldnt even login for the first month. Which i guess isnt bad considering i was playing a paladin. You know the class they reworked everything for between beta and release with no testing.

RycheMykola Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Did you actually play this game? 90 percent of all gear is BoA, and money is useless. You obviously just day one. Huh? Yes, i actually played WOW since Vanilla. Money is not useless either. Either having hundreds of gems, ore, enchanting mats, etc go worthless or get gold for them. Sounds like you didn't play.

Halofax Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Honestly, I talk to people on my server about the stuff on the forums and most of them arent even aware of it. Most of them dont know that every guy on the forums thinks they should just unsub now. TBH most of the people on my server dont know about maintenance until the warning comes up. the forums are the loud minority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byteresistor Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) The majority of the low pop servers are US servers. Its 1 pm dude. What? You were talking about EU servers. Why did you jump to talk about US servers all of a sudden? Are you trying to build up a some sort of a strawman where you assume I'm looking at US server lists?

My guild since launch until now has over 200+ active members, none of which seem to remember not being able to login for a month.

Most of them dont know that every guy on the forums thinks they should just unsub now. TBH most of the people on my server dont know about maintenance until the warning comes up. the forums are the loud minority. I agree. But a loud minority trying to improve the game. You know the difference? People on the forum will tell you why they'll be quitting months down the road. People on the server will just quietly quit and leave you wondering what you did wrong. Personally, as someone running a business, if I had to choose one I would always go with former rather than latter. Knowing what you did wrong is the only way you can fix it.

Drallbait Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Yep, forum goers don't actually have much to do with a games success or failure as it turns out. If you went by forums WoW was dead long ago, but it will seems to have millions of subs. Not clear if SWTOR will hit 1million consistently or not.

AmandaBynes Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Does he have to prove to you that the game isnt dead? Who are you anyway? I'm the person who said I can enjoy more games than just SWTOR and don't need to bash other games because they're popular. I've called out about 5 of your statements that you've ignored too. Sorry for thinking he may have had an article or something. You're pretty defensive, tough day at the bestbuy job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mannic Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) in 5 hours the US servers will be heavy. Do you not understand time zones? Last night about a third of the U.S. servers were heavy. The rest were standard. Good news is, only 1 stayed light. Tonight, there will probably be more activity because of the weekend. We'll see a bump for Satruday and Sunday, as always, and then will get a better assessment of things starting Monday and Tuesday.

We've been talking about EU between you and me and now you're talking about US servers.
