Necis_Starfall Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) Read the press release and laugh or make up you're own mind what kind of people run this game. http://www.swtor.com/news/press-release/20120201 **Below is my response to the other post if anyone care to ready it** Wow just wow (No not the game, the verbal expression of disbelief). I know that’s suppose to be a positive spin press announcement, but still. Who ever wrote that most be living in there one little bubble of reality. After reading the press release I think the “High Quality Service” refers to servers being up and running. And indeed they do that very. The server I play(ed) on have not crashed even once while I been online, but really that’s not “High Quality Service” that what I expect from a game I pay for. ”New Game Updates Drive Successful Start”. I’m sorry but what new game update? The bug fixing and one new Flashpoint mission (or was it 2 new FP?). In my opinion that’s setting the bar kinder low for a success. The stuff about TOR getting all kinds of MMO of the year (2011), made me laugh. I think that says more about the people giving out the awards that anything else. TOR have been out for almost one and a half month. That’s hardly enough time to judge an MMO to be best of the year, unless it was the only MMO released. “We’re truly honored and humbled by the incredibly strong support from our players who are enjoying Star Wars: The Old Republic,” said Dr. Ray Muzyka, Co-Founder of BioWare and General Manager of EA’s BioWare Label. “Our entire team worked very hard over the holidays to deliver a smooth experience at launch, and the resulting response to the game from our fans and critics has been exceptionally gratifying.” I’m just not sure what to say. He not reading these forums that for sure.

Seriously. A US publicly listed company CANNOT lie in its press releases. The Securities and Exchange Commission regulates against "material misstatements" and "material omissions" in public filings, including press releases, by public companys. To do so may constitute a violation of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Sections 10(b) and 13(b)(5) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Exchange Act Rules 10b 5 and 13b2-1. If an investor puts money into EA (a lot of them do), and EA stock drops later, if the information contained in this press release can be considered false, you can expect people to lawyer up. EA's lawyers I'm sure carefully read the press release and sign-off prior to their release. Edited February 6, 2012 by Zoggel IC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khemizt Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 The numbers speak for themselves, people think the game is great, the retention for the first month was more than expected, naysayers can leave now RIFT didn't even do numbers close to SWTOR and that PoS is still going.

Protip: Reading the forums is pointless, a vocal minority of people who hate the game frequently visit and post on the forums while a clear majority of people who enjoy the game continue to play. Given that I do not see 1,000,000 or even close to 1,000,000 people posting daily that they hate the game, it is safe to say that you're all in the minority.

LogicalPremise Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 It's a PR release. Anyone looking for subjectivity in one of those needs to have their head examined. Come on. As far as "meaning" , or using this as a predictor, it's a well known axiom that the shorter the measurement curve, the larger the potential deviation can occur. Clearly the game didn't hemorrhage subs immediately , as the Tortanic hypothesis projected. (Which has to be the most tortured use to which the name of that thing has been put to yet. Tortanic, please, call me a damned waaah-bulance.) On the other hand, I think there are severe and ongoing structural, design, and end-game issues that have yet to be addressed, and the patching situation is becoming ... erratic. Patch notes that aren't accurate, some people seeing radical improvements and others seeing ability delay pop up again, the most recent micro-freezing thing.. meh. Doomsayers going on a month of game play at the buggiest point of any game's launch to say the game MUST fail are going to be proven wrong. Boosters relying on a month of people willing to pay $15 to see what happens going onto say the game MUST suceed are also setting themselves up for a shock if Bioware can't rapidly address some core issues. March is the first make or break point we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skouros Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I’m just not sure what to say. He not reading these forums that for sure.Or maybe someone is reading these forums too much, and making believe that they're an accurate representation of the player base in any way. I think you know this, and you'll just be frustrated that I pointed it out at you, and probably someone will say something snide at me for it. If you measure the game's success in comparison to other games in this genre, in any year, in any release... this one is easily in the top 5 for launches and post-launch success. We cannot judge its "middle" period yet, it has had no expansions and the game is still too young to judge the developers dedication to content updates and their frequency and quality. And the long term? There are very few games that even have a long enough life to compare with. We have no idea how SWTOR will end, be it 5 months or 5 years from now... I am reading these forums, but I think what you quoted is dead on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samborino Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Lol hopefully this will shut everyone up that thinks the population is shrinking fast. This is a press release about subscription numbers fromm the company the one that everyone has been waiting for to see the sub numbers. 1.7 million people are playing, all the naysayers thought it would be welll below a million. Way to go guys all your griping and moaning on the forums to try and get people to agree with you has done absolutely nothing and SWTOR is officially the second largest MMO in North america!

Necis_Starfall Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 Ahh so all the players happy with this game use the Bug Report or Feed back window to say they are happy?

Maybe there is another TOR forum I just haven’t found where all this good and positive posts are, anyone have a link?
