This holidy season, another new competitor throws its hat into the ring to take on World of Warcraft. Star Wars: The Old Republic is getting set for a mid-December release, and analysts believe that the newcomer could take as many as 1.6 million players from World of Warcraft.

I'm not making any comments on how SWTOR will effect WoW, as it's been done before, with no real effect.

But SWTOR looks like it has the ability to corner a chunk of the market. As long as there's a healthy sub base in the next year, I'll be a happy bunny.

I dont see where they get the 1.6 mill number from.
What i picked up from an article about this was that 381 wow players were asked and 50% of them plan to buy swtor and 38% are interested in the game. WoW had lost 1.7 mill over the last year and then they believed 900k to 1.6 mill will leave for swtor... wut?
Either something was lost on translation or i am reading something wrong.

Tbh more good mmos on the market is the aim all gamers want.

However using the tired old wow-esque (which in itself was a rip off of other ideas) formulae may not be the way to do it.  Proof will be if swtor is flourishing in a year or if plans are a foot to f2p (then again this is EA, masters at fleecing people year in year out...) the game like many other ex-wow killers and so on.

Its a certainty that this game will pull in boatloads of people, but whether it has the staying power WoW did (without moving to F2P like other mmos do), is another matter.  How fast will the churn out content, how polished will it be after the initial release polish, how deeply into their own lore (within the EU) will bioware go/can go before Lucas goes nope and millions of voices cry out...

Anyway, why isnt it Friday yet?

Lorewise not much has been written about the timeline the game is set, they cant fuck up lore the way SWG has ;) (anyways Lucas doesnt need help with the amount of retcon that passed into the many novels.)

p.s. Han shot first was the worst form of retcon ;)

Thats for embedding in an actual webpage, not forum bbcode.

(I think it can be embedded in a widget on the frontpage however, I'll look at that later - after moar skyrim)
