SE better do something or the game will drop dead

That's the problem. At the rate this game releases content it's very dreadful.

They release 1 fight every 3 months with horrendous drop rates to keep you busy until the next one. I don't really understand what takes so long in that regard. IE, in 3 months WoW releases several dungeons, with 30+ bosses all scripted to do different things. Sure most are won with the "tank and spank" strategy, and only a few require a lot of thought ... but it's still things to do.

We get one dungeon or so in 1.21, and then if you read the timeline the next boss fight is April or May against Legatus.

So in 6 more months you'll have 2 more fights. When put in that perspective, you'd have, at level 50, in 1 years time, 5 different scripted bosses (Batraal, Ifrit, Moogle, Legatus, Dungeon X in 1.21). Well, another if you want to count Ogre. There are also regular notorious monsters around the world ... sure...

On launch day SWTOR has about 1000. Heck just about 80 quests in its main storyline all w/ cutscenes and voiceovers.
We don't even really know for sure when our main storyline will get another quest.

They just need to pick up the pace. We all want this game to do well but when you start to look at their timeline for the new year, and compare it to last year, it still feels like this game isn't coming along very quickly. In the broad sense, not to discredit the incredible effort put forth in the recent patches. It's a ton of work, but the pace of content is dreadful. What happened to a patch every 2 weeks?

Please, don't bring up the Titanic II SW:TOR launch here.

FFXIV has it's share of problems, but other MMOs aren't part of that list. I'm pretty sure most of the folks who decided to pay pre-2.0 are going to stay. The game is dead to the gaming press and community, and most of them are going to take (hopefully) 2.0 as a completely new game.

Sure TOR has great graphics for a 2004 2011 game, a good representation of the SW world, great character customization, super original abilites not seen in other games, a successful marketing campaign, and of course great review scores all over the web.

This is most likely a WoW killer, with it's increasing player base.

Don't worry FFXIV is in the lower leagues. Have fun playing TOR if you decide to cancel your FFXIV account, I'll have fun with my beta game.

You're making "Titanic II" jokes... on the *FFXIV* boards? All jokes, bias, arguments aside, from both, any and every side of the spectrum, you gotta admit, there's some ironic humor there!

FFXIV sunk before it made it out of the port.

And it didn't cost 3000000000 million dollars
