Suprisingly enough, most games loose customers to new games even if they have a smooth launch. I'm sure that SE as a corporation doesn't come and read this forum so im not sure why you posted it here other then to give this game you want so bad a bit of spotlight? Is that the whole reason for this post?
Except for WoW.. they apparently increase in subscriptions :|
There was a difference back many many years ago when the market wasnt saturated in MMOs.
Also warcraft fudges there numbers greatly on how many actual subscribers they have(about half of what they claim to have are trials and rmt). Granted they do still have alot, no denying that.
But yes, even the smoothest launches loose a ton of people now.
Gamers for MMOs especialy have put a standard so high that no one can reach it, they literaly expect all these games, at launch, to have just as much content as a game thats been out 8+ years. They expect no bugs(which even those games out 8+ years still have hundreds of). No crashes, no nothing. Hell they even complain about every little bit of maintenence.
Its just kinda sad. They want, what they have in their mind as the perfect MMO, and they expect it for every one that comes out, yet its unrealistic and wont happen.
as for SWTOR, i know alot about it that im not allowed to say, and let me just say, when it comes out, expect just as much if not more complaining then you see here. I for one will not be playing it.
