SW:TOR

[maverick]

Played for 1-2 months. Finished the jedi sage story arc and that's it. They really should have done a KOTOR3.
MMORPG's are for people with just too much free time on their hands...

Why are some of you assholes still playing this piece of shit?

Anyway, perhaps you should be more constructive and tell us what we assholes should be playing instead.

Gay-bashers are to blame.

In terms of physiology, the Hutts were known to be an anomaly as they possessed traits from many different species. Similar to sea mammals, their nostrils close and their large lungs allowed them to stay submerged underwater for hours at a time. Yet they were also similar to worms as they were hermaphroditic and thus held both male and female sex organs.

To be fair, I seriously doubt Lucas thought that up. I think he just wanted to see a big fat slug monster in his movie.

I think peter molyneux should direct a movie

Arcanum pic

Yeah Arcanum is a great game, but I've played it several times already. Oh well, back to SWToR.

Ah, he probably only laid out the groundwork for entire universe in his original trilogy. Doesn't make much sense to me how the Hutts evolved and managed to reach space travel. They're made out to be self-sufficient but they not look the part!

 

[Drakron]

Yes, its not like Jabba the Hutt was even casted as a human and had a scene shoot in "A New Hope" or anything ...

Look at sig. You should instead bring the bro back to Starfleet.

 

[Shannow]

So, from comments in other threads I've gathered TOR was a failure?

Has it gone f2p yet?

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Hah, WAR isn't F2P yet. EA isn't going to make TOR F2P. Ever.

Boom goes the dynamite.

[Ivory Samoan]

Good riddance to those .4 million whining cunts, thin the herd I say - let's get it down to 1 million, merge servers and have a wank.

But enough about the willy-waving. Let’s talk willy-shrinking too. Back in March, EA claimed its frighteningly expensive MMO goliath Star Wars: The Old Republic boasted some 1.7 million active subscribers. It’s now the merry month of May, and the earnings call brought news that subscribers are down to 1.3 million. So that’s 400,000 chappies gone in just two months, eh?

To make matters worse, EA has of late been resolute that SWTOR subs weren’t on the slide, claiming as recently as last month that overall numbers weren’t down but apparently light server populations were merely the result of less ‘concurrent users.’ I’d say EA have egg on their faces, but I’d imagine they have an army of robotic lackeys under strict instructions to go and wipe it off before anyone notices.
And then there’s our own chat with SWTOR’s lead designer Daniel Erickson just last week, in which he claimed that “Although the internet loves to pronounce the doom of all things, what we’re seeing is a huge increase in activity with [update] 1.2 as people return to see all of the new content.” -400,000 is a bloody funny way for activity to increase, I must say.

Well, that was fast.

You just can't into basic math.

 

[Oriebam]

they have a forum for this shitty game since 2009?

 

[sparrowtm]

Indeed.

Don't you love forced disclosure regulations? They were lying as much as they wanted to gamers and it all came to a screeching halt when Wall Street calmly demanded to get the latest information.

Michael Pachter thinks SWTOR is pulling talent away from Dragon Age 3, therefor postponing the release to 2014.

Meanwhile, Dave Gaider is losing all his carefully planted hair and becomes fat and sad again.

MMO's. No matter how many bodies you throw at them, they never deliver. But they do destroy change the companies we all used to love (see Blizzard).

I'm sorry to say, but this thing might be good for SwTOR, cause F2P is not always a good thing.

Other than this, I also enjoy watching EA's ship on fire.

Since 2008.
