BioWare expected reaching Old Republic end-game to take 3-5 months

This thought crosses my mind every time I look at my old games from the 90s.

Well there's 168 hours in a week, so even with a full time job, that still leaves half a week. To each their own I guess

The 120 hour guys only have 48 hours of non-game time a week. That's five days of straight-up gaming in a week.

I'd usually rather have less, handcrafted content than procedurally generated in most cases.

Quality over quantity and all that.

I remember when SWG made you work your ass off for 4-8 months just to be a Jedi, an you even felt accomplished just in doing so. I miss SWG, It was the best even though it was old. :(

I'd like to see more sandbox mmos, yeah.

Things like Mortal Online, or perhaps something GTA-like (aka what everyone expected APB to be)

Putting a God class in an MMO was a very stupid idea; as much as I love SWG it cannot be said that was a sound decision.

[QUOTE=Atlascore;40086884]People have rushed to the endgame since the first MMOs, how stupid do you have to be to think it would take anyone 3-5 months? Even the most casual players ended up reaching the level cap within a month.[/QUOTE]

Uhh, WoW vanilla end-game was pretty fucking time-consuming. It easily took months for guilds to clear through them, practicing the boss mechanics and everything.

End game certainly didn't mean just reaching the level cap, oh no.
