What do you think of a Star wars Division?

[Dutchoper72]

I think we should because they have the Battlefront games which is like Bc2 and there is also the old republic coming out in maybe 1 or 2 years.

So what do you guys and gals think?

 

[Zegz]

im 100% for it but it will never happen. and the old republic may be the first ever MMO i ever get. I hate MMO and monthly payments but the old republic just seems too epic to pass up

I could see an Old Republic division as viable, but for all the other assorted games: SWG, Battlefront, JK: JA, ad infinitum, I honestly don't really see the purpose (and I own all of those other games too ._.).

 

[Dutchoper72]

True but battlefront 2 still has a lot of people playing it and when the old republic does come out someone will want a division for it. Battlefront and battlefield both have similar game play. I don't really see why we should not have a Star wars Division.

Too many games, not enough people?
Probably the best explanation.

Just like the Battlefield games.

Bad company 2 is a part of battlefield, and has a lot of people.

I just want to see SwToR gameplay, and see how good it is in a year or two. Might not even be worth getting into. All the stuff I've seen besides the cinematics is pretty underwhelming.

Nope. As far as I can tell, 1942, 2142, 2, and BC2 all have tons of people.

Plus, they're a series, while Star Wars games are all just assorted games.

[Edit]
And we only have a whole division dedicated to BC2, not the whole series.

I sincerely doubt there are anywhere near as many people playing battlefront, I or II, as there are playing the more recent battlefield games.

I remember playing Battlefront, both of them, and sure there were some rooms, but nowhere close to the scale of Battlefield 2 or 2142 and even tho I don't own BC2, I feel it's safe to say it has a much larger playerbase as well.

Either way, bottom line is that unless a decent amount of eGO members are playing it, there's no real need for a division. Instead just jump into a vent channel together and have fun.

 

[Dutchoper72]

Then since most people play Battlefront 2 we could make a Division out of it

You misunderstood what some of the other people have said, Dutch. If there is enough eGO members interested in playing the game, there will not be a division formed for the game. It's great that you love playing it, but unless you can get probably two dozen dedicated players who will ALWAYS play SW:B2, there's no reason for eGO to setup a division. Additionally, I think you're overestimating the number of players in the Battlefront 2 community, not to mention that the older the game gets, the smaller the number of gamers for it. That's not the rule, as Call of Duty and Counterstrike have proven, but Battlefront 2 never had the wide success and popularity as CoD and CS did.

On the flip side, SW: TOR is expected to become a huge monster when it does release. You'll be getting players who don't typically play MMORPGs because it's Star Wars, and you'll also be getting SWG players, and those from LOTRO, EQ2, and WoW who have tired of playing those games. Most people are adopting a wait and see attitude to see if the gameplay will really make this MMORPG great or another possible failure.

True but then brings up a question what if i did get enough people to play it. Best bet would be to put up a poll because not everyone looks at the forums just the home page.

Dude. There is like 3 servers up that have people in them. No one wants to go shell out money for a really old game that didn't catch on when it came out, so why buy it now. It really wasn't that good of a game, and definitely not enough to support a whole division.

Yeah...we don't need divisions for every single game that we like to play, it has been stated earlier that you can just get on Vent and join whatever server looks best.

Its more then 3 servers

 

[Cut Chem!st]

I said servers that had people in them.

 

[Dutchoper72]

i see 6 and when i get on there are about 30 of them with at least 10. That was yesterday.

 

[Liliana]

That's not exactly a lot of people anyway. Compare it to TF2, or any Battlefield game still being played...
yeah...

 

[Snipeye]

Dutch, if you're bent on making it a division, find the people who will 1) play Battlefront 2 daily, 2) Show that there is a large gaming community for the game (a few hundred does NOT count), and 3) give any additional evidence or reasoning to support having a division made. From Cut's post, I only see about 85 people playing, 2/3 of which are located in only two servers. And that does NOT make it a viable division on that fact alone.

I'll keep the thread open, but I don't want people butting heads or starting to spam this thread.

P.S. What if's don't count. We need fact and reasons, not possibilities and wishful thinking.

I will be playing TOR regardless. It will consume my soul most likely. I will end up like the South Park kids on that "game that shall not be named" episode.

Although Battlefront 1/2 were both fun games and the online play was enjoyable for me, there aren't enough players interested anymore to justify a division imo. Sure you might round up 10+ people every now and again for a nostalgia night but most won't stick around.

Did I mention I can't wait for TOR?
