Blizzard has nothing to do with SWTOR. You mean BioWare.

I’m sure once the transfers/merges are done the community will settle down and start to recover. Change is hard and can have unexpected consequences sometimes.

Rift is another of those games that was “terrible” because it wasn’t WoW but, actually, is a really good game in and of itself when you judge it fairly.

I’ll enjoy reading your stuff, Liore.

I honestly wish Blizzard would just bite the bullet and start looking at closing down servers. We all know it would be an overt admittance that the game is in decline (however slow), but it would be much better for everyone involved. I, too, moved to Nightmare Lands and was happy to see that Zellviren wasn’t taken, but am impressed by the mood. Rather than doomsaying, people are accepting that they have something in common and want the game to do well.

It bodes well for the future.

My own personal experience of SW:TOR, however, is that I was gutted about unsubscribing because I really wanted it to do well and become my “main” game. When my subscription runs out at the end of July, I’ll make a call depending on how much more we know about any changes to the payment model before deciding whether to resubscribe. Unfortunately, however, it just didn’t push the right buttons for me and chose to inherit much of my personal dislikes with the genre rather than do anything truly innovative. Add that to the fact EA forced release of what was essentially a beta [CONJECTURE], and it made the game rough going.

I still think it’s a good enough game, and I think getting more players into the same place may just see a resurgence once the LFG tool goes in.

Welcome to Emo Fish! Even if you are playing on the dirty side of the faction divide. Progenitor has been my home since the game went live and I’ve always found it to be really nice. With the new influx of people things are looking up and up.

I actually really liked the Consular storyline, which must make me abnormal! So far, transferring to a busy server has really made the game fun. I think the Flashpoints are very well done if you can find people to run them. On my new server (The Harbinger), there are constant groups forming for all levels from Ops to lowbie FP. It is very encouraging to anticipate the group finder in light of the heavy pops!

I think it’s plain nice that everyone is enjoying TOR’s community once again. Must have been tough to take the move on your own though. Guess though if it’s that or wind down your time on those characters, it’s more compelling.

I’m looking forward to reading more about your experiences in TOR!

And I’m glad that the server transfer worked out well for you. I think the point where their guilds fall apart is where many players decide to call it a day, so it’s always good to see when someone can pick themselves up and start over.
