Like others have mentioned.. you are touching on more than just 1 subject. I see references to stupid NPC AI that allows you to 'pull' targets in plain sight of others and cut them down 1by1. Smart AI is rare, because people complain when combat …

The devs copied the leaderboard code from GCW into the fishing system.. tacked on a few funny game messages.. probably took a dev weekend or two to patch together for the fun of it. Not everything in a game needs to be about combat.. its about liv…

If my reply seems to be favoring one form of MMO style over another, than thats what you are reading into it. The comparisons to other games is fair-play. I don't want TOR to be SWG II.. I don't need TOR to be SWG II.. and I am not expecting TOR …
-
Its not a SwG (or EvE) promo thread.. I am just drawing comparisons for the sake of reference to something familiar to me and quite a few others. Will you need other players to truely interact.. probably not for the majority of the content.. Hou…

I am quite sure SWTOR will be 'MMO-like', as in.. be massively multiplayer.. as in having lots and lots of players. However, I doubt its going to be the same level of PLAYER INFLUENCE we see in other games. In other words.. having other players …

I have to suggest that SWG might also fit the same 'hybrid' concept as LOTRO did .. offering either a full access subscription along with a F2P access. Why? Because SWG is not going to grow by any significant amount.. SWTOR is definately going …
-
I played the LOTRO trial version a few times.. but never made it to a subscription. The reason I didn't sub had nothing to do with quality or community or content.. there was plenty of both. MY reason.. is that I already have a solid community i…

I played STO a bit after release with my friends from another MMO game for about a month or so. Then I took a break and tried it a little bit last month to see the new interior layouts. Unfortunatly for STO.. I am still far to involved in other M…

There are some SWG players that prefer small-population servers for whatever personal reason (tigher community, less lag, less crowding, more open spaces for cities). That said.. I would rather see players who prefer larger-population get a free C…

Changes in SWG have a lot more to do with timing 'windows of opportunity' than forum-basing the devs. If the devs are not in 'profession update mode'... then even if you are a Senator you are NOT going to get anything done during your term if som…

You really hit the nail on the head for me in this article. I always expected BW to make something 'other' than SWG II or WoW II.. so while others where putting on the blinders and 'hoping' this game would be the ultimate MMO of all time with the …
-
Actually... its not so much that story-based MMO will have lower retention.. thats not what I am saying per-say. I am talking about a target audience.. the 'Sandbox Crowd' will likely not be as crazy about rolling a new character after reaching the…
-
I will agree that Galaxies has become a lot more CL90 (max level) focused.. and that the community is largely made up of top-level characters.. by far. Being a the only non-CL90 character at certain times does put some extra pressure on new player…
-
I really do 'get' what the OP is saying. Lots of players.. particularly disgruntled anti-NGE SWG veterans wanted SWTOR to actually be SWG II but in TOR time period. They hoped for a pre-CU version.. after all.. BIOWARE has tons of cash.. tons of…
-
You should be able solo most of Mustafar now.. again with a bit better gear and a few more buffs.. like Medic Buffs and Entertainer Buffs. Most of the game is still able to be done solo... and even some of the heroics can be done with just 1 or …

I am a current & active SWG player. I am the current SWG Jedi Profession Senator. (on my 2nd term now) I have 3 active accounts and 6x CL90 toons. (Jedi, BH, Commando, Smuggler, Entertainer, Officer) I've played every profession at least …
-
Hi Calranthe, Like Badger said.. be sure to drop by the SWG Jedi Profession forums or you can send me a Private Message if you are more comfortable with that. I am the current SWG Jedi profession Senator.. and I would be glad to help you (or any…

In reference to the original post topic... A whole lot depends on what you are looking to do and if you are willing to invest a bit of time into the game. A lot.. and I mean a LOT of old players simply cannot get past the past and find the fun i…

DCO will face the same obstacles that CoH presented to me as a player. In CoH, I was able to make all my myu childhood 'supers' come to live.. both visually and more or less some of the basic powers I imagined. So I got to create them.. fly arou…

Personally I have not issues with either 'business model'. Whichever model the developer chooses is a gamble.. and they tend to attract a different player community depending on which revenue model they select. Its not quite oil & water.. bu…
