You said it yourself.
But this works to;
Quote: Star Wars which means Jedi, Sith which is obviously badass. Not only that though but you have Bioware making it, possibly the only other company i trust to make a decent mmo other than Blizzard. The fact they are taking their sweet time with it too only goes to show how good it will be.
On a more personal note, its Sci-Fi, the genre I love the most. Its Star Wars, the movies/games I watched/played millions of times when I grew up, not to speak of all the books Ive read, it just cant fail in my book. Hopefully it can take a cake of the playerbase from Wow and not be totally shit, which Wow almost looks like sometimes compared to the past (from a personal playerview funscale). |

The investor/business estimate is at 2million subscribers, so sounds like they will take some WoW subscribers. Watching the gameplay trailer the combat looks exactly the same with global cooldowns, ability spam and positioning play, so maybe they want a easy transition for WoW players. |

Don't forget that a big plus is that it's a completely new experience, with new mechanics, gameplay and quirks to learn.
But yeah, let's hope that bioware manages to deliver the same level of quality from their previous games in a mmo shell. |

The "MMO formula" seems to be: Similar, but new content.
People want something they know, with content that is fresh. Why else would WoW expansions sell like they do? :p |

Because the competition never presented a compelling "solution" (challenge or reward wise) when it came to endgame content, especially for the casual player. Bioware is taking this slow. 4 classes to start with (easier to balance than to introduce a two-digit number of classes), see what happens and take it from there, assuming subscribers get hooked. More time to presumably work on the quality of content too. |

You misunderstand, I'm saying wow expansions sell so good because they are basically just more of the same, new content in a familiar context. Just like every other mmo out there, except WoW does it better. |

I noticed that the quest(?) interaction near the end wasn't a box with a wall of text, but a conversation system that they have copied directly from Mass Effect, radial choices and all.
Also, the player moved around like I do and bunnyhopped everywhere. Unwatchable. |

Yep, basically all the conversations (that we have seen so far in gameplay vids) are like that. I do agree that the AI is ridiculously...alpha :p |
