If you've played WoW and any BioWare game, you've played TOR.

I have to praise the voice acting, and the script is genuinely good for the most part. But everything else is derivative and boring.

The dialogue is good sometimes, yeah.

But that's pretty much it.

Ah, then I haven't played TOR.

I love that acronym. It makes me think Skyrim.

Also standard on electronics. Call them up anyway, Blax, they may bend the rules since your warranty just ran out.

And TOR's light/dark choices are ridiculously arbitrary and nonsensical, yes.

Standard? Hmmph. The PC I recently bought has a 36 month warranty.

Watched Hearts and Hooves day episode, was actually pretty good. haermm

Spoiler:
What the ****, Sweetie Belle? Need to keep love poisoned ponies apart? PROPOSE A WEDDING! And Big Mac pulls the **** out of that house the tie him to. What a bawss.

I think out of all the pairings the fandom came up with, those two were least likely to be shipped.

Episode was fun, but kind of awkward.

Yeah man cause being the fastest growing MMO in history is really pointing to it "going under".

It's so cute how wrong you are sometimes Phanteros.

Bioware claims it's the fastest-growing MMO in history, but actual players are reporting that servers are consistently showing low activity.

One of my friends says he likes the game, but it doesn't feel much like an MMO because there's not much reason or opportunity to group with others.

EA's stocks dropped for a while, too, because of it having not sold as much as they it wanted to.

With an MMO, day one sales are basically meaningless (unlike most games, where day one sales are king). What matters is how many people keep playing, and usually you can't start measuring that until about three months on. That's where you measure how successful it's been - how many long-term players/subscribers it has. Not how many people bought it and played for the free month.

A lot of the people I know who have it have already quit, because there's little to do past hitting the level cap.

TOR apparently currently has 1.7 million subs. Not bad. Not bad at all.

GW has a total of 5 million subs at its peak while competing with WOW.

GW doesn't have subs at all...

GW has been out for years. TOR has not been out for a year, and is already over about a fourth that.

It seems very obvious that TOR will surpass GW, and it already has surpassed it in quality, not like that is particularly difficult.

Edit: Wait, yeah, GW is free to play isn't it? Wtf are you talking about Phanteros?
