See Blaster here is where I disagree - I think people, like with what happened with AOC is they are going to log in to the game, play it for a few months, experience the grind, experience new MMO bugs (which every single MMO experiences regardless of how much beta testing there is, and EA has a pretty bad rep for not doing enough testing), poor response time on bug fixes, poor customer service.
They think - why the heck am I playing this when everything that pissed me off about WoW is exactly what is happening in this game? I've created X number of characters in WoW before, why am I doing the exact same thing again?
Why am I starting over?
It takes years to get those things established.
There are countless games based on lore already, has the failure of SWG left everyone's mind already? Just because it has the franchise tag on it, doesn't mean that it will be successful.
