It wont beat WoW.

Nothing will beat WoW until people lose general interest in the game - not because some other game will interest them more. WoW has had nearly a billion dollars in development effort. The cost of entry to beat that is too large for any company in the world to attempt.

Not true. Big companies have deluded themselves and their fans into thinking that the cost of development is the only measure for how well a game will sell. Lost are the power of creativity and innovation. Most of the other MMORPGs have fallen because they either couldn't innovate, or couldn't make something innovative and fun at the same time. Bioware has definitely shown great promise in their ability to innovate something that is fun and fresh, and I have hope for SWTOR.

You both are correct to some degree. Correct, nothing will ever beat WoW, but all other games fail because they try to simply clone WoW.

Every new MMO will beat every existing MMO plus WoW.... until they get released and chewed up by the critics. Will it be good? Possibly - alot of hype doesn't make a good game (take a look at AoC/Warhammer/Vanguard). So far all I see about this game is Hype. Developers always seem to set lofty goals when in development stages... many of these goals tend to get discarded during the vetting process in transition to Gold.

Wow! Not so fast! It will take years to get a few million, yet alone surpass 11 million.

The early word is that Bioware has managed to pull off something special here - we'll have to wait of course, but this is shaping up to be a great MMO.

The Old Republic could be the beginning of next-gen MMORPGs.

I agree sw:tor will be the best but there is one other mmo and it is jump gate evolution link is www.jumpgateevolution or just click on quantar above my image. it is a space mmo and it looks really cool . i've already preordered it so im going to play it when it comes out but there is no question that sw:tor will be better and the only reason im going to play JGE is to burn some time till sw:tor comes out.

that almost made sense... almost...

Star Wars TOP looks like it will be awesome. However, they need to get the right mix to really have a hit on their hands. I have a ton of faith in Bioware. Until then, I'll just wait for Aion to come in September. Awesome MMO from the betas I've been in.

It's ironic. WOW is the most successful MMORPG to date, and it's also the most generic and non-innovative out there. It's time publishers remembered that polish and lack of bugs = a better experience. Also, KOTOR is coming out at a point when many people may be tired of WOW. While I don't think it will be a WOW-killer, I do see it easily becoming second place.
