What is ME3 and what is TOR?

You'll be able to get through 100% of ME3 in about half the time of a TOR billing cycle.

I disagree.

After disasters like DA2 and SWTOR, Im not sure I dare to buy ME3...I wish to keep some of the fond memories I have of Bioware from times before they started to suck.

SWTOR is fine... DA2 is however the worst RPG game ever created, I mean the epic level of suck!

I didn't think DA2 was that bad. Certain things like the re-used environments were unforgivably lazy. But otherwise it seemed ok. Not great, but no worse than the other junk BW has been turning out for the last 10 years.

The ME3 Demo was underwhelming.

i just think that the two games appeal to the same crowd

im not saying people will abandon TOR for ME3, but the casual TOR players will certainly take a break from it

Star Wars the TORtanic will continue to decline in subs, and they should seriously consider merging half the servers immediatly before the ghost towns become even worse. I rerolled Republic with some folks to try and take on the massive amounts of Imps on our server.

@11:00 PM EST
Imperial Fleet = 244
Republic Fleet = 31

I couldn't even get groups to do the early flashpoints. /unsubscribe

Roll on a non-bad server?

Ajunta Pall (not sword of) has around 200ish in both fleets at prime time. It used to have much more though, like every server.

Subs are down about 50% from what I can tell. My sub will be one of the ones that doesn't renew next cycle.

every time I rolled on a new server, by the time I got my character leveled up to the 20's, everyone had quit.

You are obviously bad at finding good servers.

I doubt ME3 will cause a decline in TOR subs, but I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a few weeks of drop off in TOR player account usage. I will be surprised if it takes more than 20 hours to burn through ME3 the first time, but it may take some folks two to three weeks to get there. If the game is any good, fans like me will probably play through four or five times over the next month or so. I wouldn't cancel my TOR account for that one month plus of ME3 play. If I had a TOR account.
