So I have listed below 5 ways to derail a games launch. Be sure to make wild broad statements that in reality only apply to you, but you represent everyone <--see what I did there
1. Every minor issue that affects you becomes a major issue for everyone else

2. I am a game developer listen to me. These ar easy enough to find.
3. Take the major feature and make it seem common or mundaine. We all saw this in Rift where Rifts got lumped in with WAR's public quest. Watch out TOR fans

^ deja vu take a major feature and make it seem common and useless
4. Take HATED features from that other game and them to your current game..LFD..x-server whatever..addons..macros

^ I guess you can call this the Rift trap or the catch 22 trap. If you do not put the features in people unsub and if you do people stay unsubbed because WoW has those features
5. Guess this falls under #3, but watch as the news sites jump on board with the hating

Edit:
6. Try and put a cap on the hype and find a upper limit. Look for vague numbers and charts and then reduce the number to make it seem much smaller

Just saw a Rift article that said Rift only sold 3,000 copies..back in March it was 800k..then by July 500k...November 150k...now 3,000 copies sold the entire time?

yet another TOR fanboy to teh rescue...pfff
Reading this makes me think the reviewers should type Catch 22 in bold Red letters in 72 Font size to cover all the bases.
AUP's usually don't allow bringing arguments from other forums Pure expect this thread to be deleted.
This doom and gloom thread was brought to you by Chin Up the new ultra high caffeine soft drink for gamers who just need that boost of happiness after a long forum session.
Game has had the best launch since WoW, maybe even better than....
This is my not concerned face.
Haters gunna hate.
Theres more fans than haters get used to the new world order
Now you guys have to remember take the major feature of the mmo and make it seem very common place. So here is your guidebook for all of 2012
TOR: Story - make it seem small and commonplace and overdone
GW2 - make the dynamic events seem useless and not effective and overdone
Archage - complain about everything and say the word grind alot. Use Aion references and Korean grinder alot
Tera - Refer to the failure in Korea alot and make it seem mis directed and badly done. Everyone who complains make it seem much worse
Secret world - Always refer to Funcom and bring up AoC f2p alot and cash shops. Make sure to say cash shops alot
Rift - says WAR public quest alot and bring up quality over quanity alot and use vague statements
WoW - says pandas and Pokemon alot and bring up no lore and bad community in every sentence
WoW's launch was AWFUL! Absolutely horrible. Your facts are not straight sir.
So, are the people that enjoy playing Star Wars the Old Republic, suppose to use these tools to go forth and attack every other game on this site?
We don't have that much time.
Servers will be up shortly.

Why do I get the feeling that OP is making triangle face when speaking about SWTOR...
I support this post. lol and so true.

I have to agree, WoW's launch was awful. I remember having to wait sometimes for hours to get on to play and this was not during thier maintenance. I started playing WoW 5 months after the game had launched and still those problems were there. Let's see how BW does in comparison.
