You forget: a good UI, the ability to use right click on anything you want to interact with the world, full voice acting, solo AND group friendly content, a protagonist that isn't silent and has speech options, text speech that isn't written like Shakespearean language, quick and snappy responses to actions, more players...

The UI is no better, more responsive yes, but no better. How do you right click with a controller? Voice acting? This is something people like? I always thought it was a negative...

So in other words, SW is for illiterate, mouse onry space nerds? I'll pass thanks.

I'm not defending XIV, it sucks atm and will continue to do so until 2.0 servers. Just saying, SW is still WoW in space.

you have no clue at all, if it was sold in a box im sure you still would not be able to find it.
Perhaps? Really? Ah i see you are one of them blind ones...

What are you even talking about... wait, nevermind. I'm sure it doesn't matter.

I'm guessing you haven't played it. Beta keys are all over the place for the next weekend test. Try it... preferably for more than five minutes.

i only played wow for 2 months so i don't think that would be a problem for me(new), the bigger thing is population and content. and while u keep thinking the game will be better without me but i would of been one of the players that stayed for 5+ years like i did in ffxi. so i'd say your wishing gonna bit you in the butt when this game becomes desolate and void of real players and your only hope is 2.0 that still has a very good chance of flopping 6months later.

If that means I'll never have to read a post from you again? /hurray.

What the meaning behind a large population in SWTOR? That you can rest easy that you picked the "right" MMO? that you'll have an active chat box while you SOLO your way through the game? Congrats!

Ver 2.0 might not recover FFXIV, but at least we won't have to suffer any more of you, in our future.

You're not exactly a ray of sunshine either.

good luck with that since i plan on playing this game off an on too since i have the time too, so you'll probably hear tons of complaining on how people like you are ruining all mmo's not just this one. no matter what mmo im on i'll always be saying the same things cause as you can see companies like turning all there mmo's into the same copy paste and i think we all have the right to show our concerns.

and the point behind a large population on a thread about server population is simple, ffxiv doesn't have it. the biggest thing about playing a mmo is joining up at launch so there are millions of people all at the same levels running a muck together. it's what really clenches the love for a mmo that keeps me there for years, how many mmo's have you played after it's been out for over a year and half there zones are empty? probably none ..least none that you stayed with.

fact the reason they building these mmo's way to easy is for that reason most likely, and why they let people powerlevel and so forth ..push you to where the .. check this out ... "population" is. i was just using swtor as a example of how a mmo should look like for the first few years at the very least. i could of used ffxi, it was packed. the dunes ..i loved the dunes ..party on every piece of sand in the zone, every zone after that the same. people all running from npc to npc's doing quests and missions. all things swtor had and ffxiv has not had since first month.

also maybe you should quit with the insults since it's obvious you have no real constructive criticism outside you being some wannabe white knight that thinks i can't have my own opinions on the matter. Your future is dim, enjoy what you get.

Seriously, even EQ UI is better than FFXIV UI, lets just be honest, FFXIV UI is horrible, the targeting is horrible, as for the voice acting being a negative... Why ? If you dont like it, you have the option of not having them :/

Also i'm not defending Swotor, but it is not a wow clone, just because it has similar graphics, i mean this game is not a FFXI clone, FFXI is a decent game, this one is just garbage :/
