Generally anyone who isnt sucked into the EA/Bioware/TOR gimic will stick with Rift or WoW. While the other players looking for something more unique and original will go elsewhere.

Basically this. Raiders will stick with Rift and WoW until we see more info about TOR raids. The game is obviously not catered to hardcore raiding, so that leaves that demographic. Then it comes down to WoW and Rift fighting over fantasy fans.
Most are just watching TOR to see what the hype was about and see if it has longevity. Despite popular belief alot of people can play two mmo's, but need reviews from trusted sources before dropping the time into it.
Just my personnel view here, but I like Rift where it is now with this amount of servers. It gives me that smaller feeling of community where I know alot of the people on the server. I get this strange feeling that alot of people who quit TOR are heading back to WoW and that is pretty sad because Blizzard is banking on it.
I am not very scared of TOR. It is releasing without features Rift launched with so while Rift is looking forward to new content Bioware is having to make up for stuff they missed. Rift is a complete MMO from launch. TOR forums will be asking for what I have detailed below for MONTHS
All those pretty pictures you posted about what SWTOR is lacking that Rift has (a couple fo them Rift does have btw) are all wiped out by this simple realization:
The droids in SWTOR have more personality than any organic being in Rift.

Really you mean the companions you can not talk to on your ship at 50? The ones you do not even see and just send on crafting missions. Yeah great innovation there lets turn ccrafting into a lobby based game also.
Hey why move?? Lets queue for a war front...no need to move to craft or even be by people lets have a digital friend do it. Gathering???pft that is so 2005 lets have a digital npc do it.
20 people to raid? pft who needs that many people lets do 16...how about 8 who needs 10? Lets just keep removing people instead of dealing with the core of the issue. Lets remove the mmo from mmorpg. You think for a second when I pick up TOR I will play it like a mmo? It is a single player rpg with a sub fee.
I would rather pay a monthly sub for Skyrim. Stop acting like I have done no research on this game....STORY quest: WOOT AWESOMEE!!! ...side quest: uhohhhh spacebarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
How about dead worlds? OMGGGG Tatoine is sooo big, but wtf is the point of all that space?? How long do I have to search to find someone to gank?? Lets pray I am in their channel??
Hardly anything in TOR actually impresses me. All TOR is doing is making Rift look great.
CHOICE who needs that...lets avoid min/max'n by MAKING IT COST 30,000 credits to respec...uhohh want to respec from heals back to dps....give me 45,000....guild need s ahealer...uhohhh it cost EIGHTY THOUSAND CREDITS!!!
I should open a RMT site because I would MAKE A FORTUNEEEE!!

You do realize they have a planned content release 30 days or so after launch right? It was on thier website from one of the devs.
