We didn’t ALL get 30 free days, BTW.

This marketing spin is the BS EA/Mythic spewed when WH Online was tanking.

Swtor population healthy overall? Debatable/probably. Swtor population healthy per server…no. Anyone who does not see the timing of this release to correspond with the investor call/sub number release is clearly burring their head in the sand. I don’t think we will see hard numbers for awhile as BW will continue to drop the price of the game, give free weekends, give free months, give free..free.free….please sub to our game!!

SWTOR just lacks the uniqueness, they made an MMO of an IP that should’ve been leas modeled after the WoW style setup, I mean shooter classes with guns and bombs, lightsaber based jedi combat; this game would’ve made much more sense if more action based or went the third person shooter FPS style feel.

Even digressing on that part of my idea, it still even with the WoW/Eq model of MMORPG design, the features simply aren’t new and original, they aren’t necessarily an improvement on most fronts and lack some basic functionality of other MMO features having and using with success.

If I was Bioware I would be quick to chase the pretty much only leg up they are likely to have on others in their game and work to getting the space combat much more developed, story driven and thoroughly designed as possible, they have mentioned plans to add a lot on that front, if they can parallel their game with other unique gameplay they have a chance.

The game doesn’t suck by any means maybe bringing it to places where this type of MMO isn’t so typical or wanted may do some good.

Yeah audio sync seems to be a problem often either minor, this being very noticeable.

I personally am very hopeful for SWTOR. Many people fail to remember that Blizzard could of only dreamed of these kind of numbers after they launched. The game just got to where the developers felt it should of been at launch with 1.2 as evidenced by the 30 free days we all just received. Once they fix a good portion of the bugs still in the game (ever get super glued to the floor in the spawn area of a War zone after getting killed?) you will see a higher active population base. However, many people understand that these kind of things will get fixed based upon the number of active subscriptions versus active players. The main thing to remember is to give the game time and it will get better, not everything is the end of the world people.

There’s no debate, it’s just how well can BW spin it.
Investors say, brace yourself
Players say, where is everyone
Stat sites say, down down down
And BW says, are you going to believe me or your lying eyes?

I am sure they will get a couple million subs in Afghanistan.
