Any sub for any MMO is silly. I dont have a problem buying the box and play forever, like GW. If the game is good people will buy and it's DLC. As awesome as SWTOR is I'm not renewing my sub, I'll just wait till it goes F2P or whatever they end up doing. WoW needs to do the same subs are silly.
Its not a bad game at all, just wondering if it went F2P yet. All so not saying all bad MMOs go F2P either. IMO all MMOs should be like Guild Wars, buy the box play forever. If the game is good enough people will the expansions, so on and so forth. I think a lot more people will play them too. Look at console games and their DLC, people buy those. How many people play Battle Field or Call of Duty stuff every year? I guess Im trying to say is subs are silly.
You know Im pretty sure EVERY MMO had its fair share of birthing pains. As perfect as WoW is and has never had anything bad ever happen in it's 10 billion year history, I can see how nerd rage can happen. Its a new and frightening thing to have to wait for servers to let you in, or when hundreds of thousands of people try set up subscriptions at once and something temporarily goes awry.
p.s., Lady Gaga is ugly and her music is terrible.
Is TOR perfect no? Is WoW perfect no. Im one of the players that has had there normal "meat and potatoes" changed by TOR. I like giving a damn about what going on in my quests/missions. Most of time I don't finish the bonus missions, but I like having the option. I love the crafting and sending my companion/pet to sell my junk for me. I like WoW its a great game however, I like TOR more. It may peak at 300+ thousand at the moment. I'm sure more people will join up when they get tired of same ol same ol MMO.
