Grometsc Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Calling this game a winner based off of that is folly. It is the 1st month of paid subs and the hype is wearing off fast. Check back 6 months down the line if you want an accurate assessment of how the game is performing. Ding... I say in 6months freetoplay 1-20 will be in the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"SWTOR has now reached 4 million gamers worldwide! Thankyou for making Star Wars: The Old Republic the best gaming experience you can possibly imagine. We here at BioWare will continue to make the game to your liking and work through bugs, improvements and continue with the major content updates. Thankyou gamers, and thank you for playing the game we have given you. May the force be with you." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phuzzi Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Whilst I hope the game does well and those involved have secure jobs it's still in it's honeymoon period so I'd say it's a bit premature to declare it a success. I'm sure it will have a good core following for a long time to come and hopefully that's enough to sustain it, personally I've had enough though and just cancelled. No I'm not going back to WoW...

Calsidian Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 It's always fun to see fanboys calling other people fanboys as an insult, and they completely fail to see any hypocrisy in it. Good on Bioware for having a good start to the game. Hopefully it drives them to build on the success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeathStarPlumber Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 This is just proof that the guys on wall street truly don't have a clue (Big surprise there right lol) . I think we can all agree (fanboys need not answer) that SWTOR is pretty much finished when the likes of Tera,Secret World and Guild wars 2 all release in the the near future. Will those 3 games kill SWTOR? Of course not but they are going to decimate the subscription numbers by at least 1/2 of what we are seeing now.

DarkCarnage Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Statement: it be better to wait for the next quarter press reelase. this allow us a more fair over time of growth/decline. Query: why do poeple think this game failing? Statement: is it because it not how they like the game to be? Statement: then they can move to a game that has what they want and leave the one enjoying it alone. Musing: Maybe they bored of that other game and wanted something new, but really did not?

Jett-Rinn Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) I love it!!!!! I am still laughing at the blogger that called it "TORtanic" ha ha ha... Yeah she swore she would never blog again of the sub number reached 3 million...she since removed that blog.....she is more or less considered a laughing stock anyway. Oh this is the blog where she predicted the games doom. I highly encourage people to tell her how wrong she was.

andreas_barth Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 So many, many, many, many, many times in these forum during the past 2½ year I've seen the trolls and the doomsayers go: "This game will have about 200 000 subs and then die, everyones knows it". Well... its time...its finally time... IN YOUR FACE!!! :sul_cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHeadCapper Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 But...but...the game is failing! The trolls told me so! So many people that predicted it would be dead after a month, funny how they are about as accurate at predicting the future as the guy in rags on the street corner yelling about the end of humanity.

Alkiii Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) First, I heard, "On January 21st, everyone will realize this game fails and they will only have 200k players. Those 200k will be the Star Wars fans." Then I heard, "This game is like a ghost town, no one is playing it. EA will lose more players when EA releases their share report in February." Share report is released ... Now I'm hearing, "This game sucks! Those reports mean nothing. In 6 months, this game will be dead." So in 6 months, if SWTOR has 2.5 million subscriptions, are these same people going to still be here (paying the monthly fee) telling us how SWTOR will fail by Christmas of this year? /sigh Edited February 2, 2012 by Alkiii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicholes Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 One thing people need to remember is that since this game is heavily story based people are more than likely to last past the first month. For instance they will do like I and many others did and reroll, pick the class that interests them the most, then level that one to 50 at their pace. Naturally that will hold them a month.. its after the 2-3 month mark that we need to see how things are going. Now what I'm sure we would all like to see is Bioware do is patch the current problems quickly, then start releasing new content + their plans on future content. If they can do that in a satisfactory way before waves of people hit 50 then they will be in great shape. I'm looking forward to see where this is headed and I'm hoping for the best. With BW doing their best, Blizzard will have to improve. As they both improve we win. Also other devs will be more inclined to bring their A game, such as GW2, Tera etc. So here's to hoping Bioware does the right thing and that they are successful. (In other words DON'T GET LAZY!)
