Star Wars: The Old Republic will kill WoW - outsourced to Broadsword

[Major_Blackhart]

How long has WoW been around for?

 

[Zewp]

Since 2005, I think.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

What is it then, the most successful MMO of all time at this point?

 

[~RAGING BONER~]

By a fucking light year.

It'll take 20 sucessful TORtanics to match the amount of Jew Gold Blizzard has mined out of its panda combat sim.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

We need an emote for when something is Kotick-tastic.
That is how I wish to express my emotions right now.

 

[Average Manatee]

Christ, 14% in two months? That's a holocaust.

What did Blizzard do, change their log-in screen to include 2girls1cup?

 

[Jaesun]

The California-based company blamed the rise of free-to-play games

 

[Average Manatee]

We've had F2P games for a long time, and none of them made a dent in WoW. Unless there is some amazing new shit that got released this year, I can't understand how they would see that huge of a loss without Blizzard fucking something up horribly on their own end.

There been any major WoW drama of late?

 

[Syl]

It's not one F2P in particular. There are hundreds or thousands of them and in all of them you'll find ex-WoW players. There's no drama that I'm aware of but there no need to explain the fall in subscriptions.

 

[Average Manatee]

There's plenty of need to explain 1.3 million less people in two months, considering they've held steady at around 10 million for, what, 3 or 4 years now?

 

[Infinitron]

They haven't held steady. There have been falls and rises in the past.

 

[Zewp]

Well, they were at 13 million in 2009.

So is this worth the 2-day downloading time it will take me?

"04.26.2013 Watch this short video to preview the Cathar, the new playable species coming in Game Update 2.1: Customization!" It's almost like it's sarcasm.

 

[Syl]

 

[Zewp]

Wow, how did Aion get that many subscribers? It's pretty much just another generic korean MMO.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Well, there are 50 million South Koreans...

 

[Mangoose]

So is this worth the 2-day downloading time it will take me?

"04.26.2013 Watch this short video to preview the Cathar, the new playable species coming in Game Update 2.1: Customization!" It's almost like it's sarcasm.

no

 

[Riel]

Wow, how did Aion get that many subscribers? It's pretty much just another generic korean MMO.

Tits??

 

[Micmu]

Swtor reached its decline stage in a very very short time.
Cool achievement

 

[Zewp]

Well, there are 50 million South Koreans...

Yeah, but there are 700 million other generic Korean MMOs that don't have a subscription fee.

 

[Ninja Destroyer]

So is this worth the 2-day downloading time it will take me?

"04.26.2013 Watch this short video to preview the Cathar, the new playable species coming in Game Update 2.1: Customization!" It's almost like it's sarcasm.

NO!

Try Scarlet Blade with RK47 as a teammate, it will be better.

Okay guys. I'm officially retarded. I installed this game, played it a bit and today the game was patched. In my state of infinite wisdom, when coming across a problem where the game didn't want to load, I decided to copy all the downloaded assets and uninstall the game. Only I didn't copy the version files and seeing as Bioware in their infinite wisdom have not implemented a forced repair mechanic I have to re-download everything. So if one of you can be so kind as to provide me with these following version files I will be forever in your debt:

assets_swtor_main.version
assets_swtor_[language]_[culture].version ([language] and [culture] are language/culture identifiers, e.g. assets_swtor_en_us.version for en-US)
movies_[language]_[culture].version
retailclient_swtor.version

[Crispy]

I think I uninstalled it bro.

Just do yourself a favor and don't re-install it.

AP might be able to help anyways. If you didn't uninstall though, just update your game and send me those files. I'll give you a kiss when I ever get to the USA.
