If Season Seven wasn't such a piece of TRIBBLE, I wouldn't have dropped $95 on Arenanet and having a blast with another STO "refugee" in GW2. The weekend event they have is awesome. Sure beats the hell out of grinding numbers. I'll miss my starships, but I don't need a second job.

Exactly! And the same goes for the dozens and dozens of players i know are now in MWO. You can't get a single queue there without running into an ex-STO player.
just because it lasted 6 year dont mean much only it had a big player base and slowly did what ????? DIED
wow is slowly dieing look at its sub base from 3 years ago to now
sto player base luckly if its in the 500k
The fact that SWG lasted 6 years after the NGE means that even in its "new" form there were still enough people who enjoyed it enough to make it profitable operation for those 6 years. And just FYI, SWG was losing 10,000 subs a month BEFORE the NGE:
When we were asked, we were bleeding subscribers.
If I remember correctly, somewhere around 10k a month. LOSING 10,000
subs a month.
Who is that guy you might wonder? Oh, just one of the Devs who was working on SWG when the NGE happened. Yeah, just some guy who knows exactly what he's talking about.
But anyway, my point is that SWG was not some nirvana of gaming prior to the NGE as many people tend to think. It was a game losing 10,000 players every month.
As far as WoW goes, of course it is losing subs. It is now competing with a bunch of games that are FREE to play. That doesnt reflect badly on WoW, it just means people would rather play a game for free than pay.
But at the end of the day the simple fact is that every game "dies" eventually. You were the one that brought up the NGE in comparison to S7. So now you have to live with the comparison you created. If S7 is STO's NGE, then its got a good 6 years left in it. If you dont like that idea then you need to think of better comparisons next time.

Can you imagine if STO were losing 10k a month? The lights would be off already.

The big moneyquote that applies to Season 7
The point, the ****up, the mistake that we made, was answering an
unasked question.
?Can you change an MMO drastically after it launches??
Season 7 did not change STO in the drastic manner the NGE changed SWG.
i will agree to that only with a but it didnt help it in a game that needs money in the frist place life time sells with new perk doff packs with the hope i get a bug ships ya!!! sto not been helping its self thes past few months
stuff like this show this game is hurting for money
There are already plenty of threads discussing S7, so please post in one of them instead of creating duplicates on the same topic.
dude posting this is a way for me to vent and to see im not alone in this and if you pay attention you would know that im not more people ****ing hate this then like it parden my french. They have completely screwed up a good thing because of all the crybabys. Also its my right to post what i want the fact that you went out of your way to tell me not to post a topic on this makes you a troll kindly go **** yourself.:mad:
no he has a right to make his own Thread if he likes what would you merged with the CDers again he has the right to make a Review of his own thots like the ppl have been doing on this forums from day one of the game
Hey thank you for your support in my right to post what I want i appreciate it.;)
wow 5 you say let NEG never happen would they still be here
maybe that sto life span hek who knows you dont or i dont
Um, for the record SWG wasn't closed down because it wasn't doing ok; it was shutdown because EA/Lucas Arts didn't want any competition whatsoever against "Star Wars the Old Republic". SOE would have been perfectly happy to continue the game and word is Lucas Arts made it worth their while to close the game down, and it's also one reason SOE still has the Lucas Arts "Clone Wars Adventures" browser based MMO.
Of course given what has happened with SWToR one has to wonder if Disney/Lucas Arts might consider a relaunch of SWG as TOR didn't live up to expectations (and with it's current F2P implementation, I doubt it'll see the upsurge in revenew Lucas Arts and EA expect; but time will tell.

Venting is fine, but thread duplication and flaming/trolling are not. Since this thread has lots of both, I'm going to go ahead and close it now.

If by some odd miracle you can't find such a thread, feel free to start a new one on the new topic. Again without the flaming and trolling as defined by posts which are insulting or otherwise responding to other posters in a hostile or provocative manner.

If you consider a game lasting for 6 whole years after the changes take place "killing it", then hopefully Cryptic "kills" STO too
