Never thought rift looked good, never tried it and never will but Swotr is definitley a game I want to try and think might do well, the first month, like any first month of an MMO, will be a bit shaky but eventually you'll be left with a community of people plying a (hopefully) good game.
Not as into it as other people are though, not in beta or havn't even looked at a way to get into beta I'll probobly just buy it shortly after its launch and try it out.
Well Bioware has a reputation for making good games, and I bet that the witnessing to the massive casual playerbase that wow generates will allow them to ignore most whiners. I was interested in this game for a bit, but when wow effectivly ignored anything non raid in their patches, and made anything not new patch obsolete, I decided to jump ship as the game really took most of the fun out of MMOing. Heck even my great guild could help me get through most of the WOTLK pains. Funny thing is, that Cata started pretty fun for a while, until the accelerator on the upgrading of gear was set in overdrive. Ynow though its pretty bad when you cant even farm anything that is worth it, becuase bots n such have already killed that part of the game. Sad thing is that raiding isnt even the fun it was now that firelands got a 3month nerf befor e patch sigh. They even nerfed herioc Firelands which was plain stupid, it takes a acheivement point in the game away cause it makes it less challengeing to even blink at....... it will be painful for wow for quite a while until Blizz actually puts some real effort back into their game instead of pushing out several rehashed titles that just didnt hold water to their previous products.
I'm getting so sick of that term..when will people realise killing a game is nearly impossible without a process of people slowly leaving the game, the game ain't dead till Blizz pulls the plug, therefor stop refering to it as ''killing'' and call it competition thank you very much and people better hope that this game leads to solid competition otherwise we'll keep having WoW on the top and Blizzard will remain lazy because they won't have to compete with anyone.
Remember WoW fanboys and WoW haters: Competition between the two companies leads to better games for both. (unless one of them decides to drop one of their target demographic and goes for another one which has potential to become more profitable)

I'd be careful about putting too much insight onto a forum that's open to anyone (not just current customers) that's not really well moderated atm.
Wait until it's closed off to non-subscribed people before judging the community.
For all we know (I am really reluctant to say this, but it's not outside the realm of possibility) it could be people from a rival MMO (not any specific one, mind you) deliberately posting this stuff to throw people off the game.
I'm sorry you guys feel that way, but it is quite clear you are basing your opinions on pure speculation because you haven't played beta yet. Those of us with real experience will be right here waiting for the nay-sayers to come back begging for forgiveness
I'll admit, the original WoW trailer was cool, but was absolutely misleading regarding the game.
Only thing im concered about is the first month of the flood of wow players that are gonna converge on the game,bash it and ruin the community for a month or 2.Till they get bored and return to the game that is the death of the MMO genre.
alot of trollers and alot if ppl asking where crap is and why they can't do XY or Z. general bitching about any given thing because ppl as a whole are cry babies. its the nature of the beast now-a-days. i think the most common spam/bithing will be "WUY DANT I HAZ LITSABR??????" on Tython or Korriban...
I am so curious to see what people think of the game after a month. After spending 3 weeks in the beta, I cancelled my pre-order, so obviously the game is not for me, although since this was beta, it is quite possible that they are making the needed changes.
If after a month we still see these glowing reviews/previews, I may just be baited to try it out again
Just the 5 days I had a month ago have convinced me that swtor is my personal WoW-killer (and I loved WoW since launch).
But I don't begrudge you that you've come to the conclusion that swtor isn't for you, because it certainly will not be for everyone. It's a very different step for an MMORPG to take (making story the central part of the game).
The first month I expect to be irritated with the people that don't like the game ranting in general chat channels. The 2nd month however, I expect some to go back to WoW and more new players to come in and a generally better community to take shape.
What always gets a chuckle out of me though are the people that seem to have a vested interest or love affair with Blizzard that say, "You'll be back in 3-6 months". I invested for more time, blood, sweat and tears into 5 years of EQ than I did in 7 years of WoW, but I didn't go back to it and I won't return to WoW either.
All things being equal, I just hope for stable servers and no login queues. With the largest launch in MMO history, those two are going to be hard targets to hit.
Hello.
All I wanted to say is those guys who left wow for swtor(and they are plenty), they were really bad players in wow.
They will be bad in swtor so they will just do same as in wow, cry until game devs submit
the worst part is, WoW's community is its own fault. the game teaches u to do NOTHING except when u start and have to do ur new shiny spell on a training dummy. im not saying ToR teaches u to tank or heal or even dps, but they do have each class being able to dual-role during a fight (like a IA healer dps'ing all the while without taking dramatic hits in either dps or healing) which could add more complexity, or could be truly awesome. im leaning towards awesome though.
