Yeh, but that's kind of what I mean. Long term survival of an MMO involves dedicated teams for PVP, a focus on raiding etc. At the moment their plan appears to be pumping out easy to make content that requires grind upon grind, which produces cash through the cartel market but won't last long.
It'd build up hype for a new Star Wars MMO as well, if SWTOR was successful but lacking in a couple areas that the new game planned to excel in.

I genuinely believe they can't make a good story with the player character in the position they're in, so I'd put good money on:

They've done practically everything at this point.
We've done the standard Sith Empire vs Galactic Republic war.
We've fought ancient threats return to space, like Soa.
We've experienced the return of Revan two times over.
We've had Sith civil wars with Darth Malgus and the Dread Masters.
We've fought the Hutt Cartel and powerful pirate clans.
We've experienced a third-party coming from unknown space.
We've killed off Vitiate himself, the antagonist of the SWTOR saga.
I'd say the only thing left to do to finish the game is resetting it.
Topple the Eternal Alliance and bring back the Jedi vs Sith wars.
Pull a KOTOR, the Outlander loses his memories and has to regain his power to beat whoever the villain is. Or, jump forwards in time, maybe to Bane's era and start from scratch. One idea I had that I think is interesting though is introducing Darth Andeddu, since we don't actually know when Andeddu lived, set him between the events of KOTET and Bane's rise; I mean why not? There's a couple thousand years to work with.
Originally posted by UrsumelesAnd why not? Andeddu was famous for having discovered the secret for eternal life. Bane learned essence transfer from Andeddu's holocron. Why is it impossible to have him appear in SWTOR when Vitiate likewise was immortal? And it would add more depth to Andeddu's character, something I'm not at all opposed to.
Yeah, but he would predate Malak, Revan and co. then, and can't live after KOTET.
