According to the following article, SWTOR is sinking? Not sure, it's still not released in China.

I do agree some of his opinions!! But still need to wait and see!
Looking for good ARPGs!

I stopped reading right at "It can't be denied that Star Wars: The Old Republic sold well. Estimates are ranging from between 1 million to 1.5 million sales. However these don't account fully for piracy. It was a major sales hit, but these games live on subscriptions. And subscriptions may be a problem for this game"
This dude has no clue wtf hes talking about has he even played the game ? Piracy ? rofl what does he think its some single player game people can download ? and 1 to 1.5 ? There were over 1 mil NA preorders NOT counting digial preorders or europe period.
I love reading artciles from morons claiming doom who dont even know what the game is it really shows that any moron can review games or write an article now days.
wait and see what? U think everyone is this world is into star wars? How many ppl do u think will be playing this game if it doesnt have the star wars skin? Asians are more into fantasy and kung fu thats why Age of Wushu is the most anticipated mmo in China this year.
Probably talking about the private servers...
ps: that guy is just a hater.... One of those guys who is mad at the game and now he trash it...
Even so. I remember it took the people who created the WoW private server code months to get up to the current build, but that was during Wrath. I doubt pirating was a major issue in SWTOR's release.
Well, somehow this douches got the private servers up and running earlier this time... Just look for them on google...
/not promoting private servers ok....
Was it 'ever' a WOW challenger?
If you like the game play it, if you don't like it don't play. Does it matter if it's challenging Wow or not?
Agreed, I plan on trying this game in 6 months or so. I like the old republic storylines but I want to wait until the game is more polished.
Not sure if it was EA's intention or not, but it's hard to imagine EA supporting BioWare with 200mil if there wasn't the slightest ambition of stealing a good chunk of subscribers from WoW.
As for SWTOR being an actual WoW challenger?
No, and never will be, period.
GRIND sucks? You wanna be max level in a month?
Since when did society award easy-goers and lazy-fools?

If there's any justification in this outcome, it's that George Lucas, the once aspiring filmmaker who compromised his artistry with the crap that was passed off as the Prequel Trilogy, is getting some well needed karma.
May he cry his eyes out in his golden bed stuffed with $1,000.00 bills.

Honestly I just started playing because D3 was delayed, and i must say, this is the first mmorpg in like the last 8 games I've played that i thoroughly enjoy and like logging back in.
Not really. People like competition in the market. It makes developers try harder to please the community. But without it, that leaves developers to pull a Mac-Apple-STEVE kinda move on us.Philosophy of MMO Game Design
Do you really, firmly believe he intended the prequels to be as bad as they were? Not defending him, but just asking.Philosophy of MMO Game Design
Because I live in China, so I have to wait for the game's release in China. I am a huge fan for Star Wars the movie.

was a bit shocked when he mentioned piracy tbh since there no free servers running at the moment and its a sub based game so u got to buy a legal copy to play .
but he is right about the engine there something seriously wrong with it and they are struggling to fix it ,i am beginning to fear its in the game's bones and cannot be resolved.
It never was. Hype is a dangerous thing.

OP, that article gets torn to shreds in the comments section, with links to other sites clearly explaining why.
It's factually incorrect, biased in the extreme & basically not even worth reading, it does nothing except stir up a hornets nest that quite rightly stung him in the ass.
He's a 2-bit shill masquerading as "an expert writer"
Freelance asshole.
