Don't get me wrong here, the last thing the genre needs is yet another subscription mmo going ftp, there have been too many of these, Rift, SW, SWTOR, Aion, Tera. This game needs to buck the trend - to encourage other games developers at least.
Relying purely on a franchise name won't cut it, the original launch of this game proved that - so SE the pressure is on to keep enough subscription numbers - how you do it when a solid game like Rift couldn't, and against other new games coming out - not sure, but hopefully you will :-)
