I'm not bothered what WoW fanboys have to say about it. They can stay over there, I'll stay here.

Hehehe. A WoW player claiming space is boring after flying around for 5 minutes. He's gonna have real fun in WoW in a few levels.

Btw, if SWG and JTL suck, why on earth are you still paying to play them? If SWG sucks, the only way you're going to get Sony to notice is to quit. If you're right, then a ton of people quit and Sony notices. If you're wrong, which I think you are, then the rest of us who like the game don't have to see the constant whining.

read it. looked to me like none of em played any of those betas...
heh
JTL is not a full game it is an expansion for one thing. so compairing it to WoW is not exactly fair. what wouldbe fair is to compair JTL to the transportation system in WoW.
in WoW you rent a flying beast to fly you to the next city zone country etc. previously in SWG you bought a shuttle ticket. now with JTL that transportation system is expanded to take up 4 new profession and include combat and tons of missions and be a base from whihc SOE can flesh out more content. in WoW your forever riding that flapping gryphon with no interaction at all. basically instead of standing at a starport you watch a flapping gryphon for 10 minutes....
one of the posters mentioned lag in JTL. from my beta experience when flying there is no lag. unlike other online flight games when you shoot at a target you lead the target like you would expect in relation to the speed of your weapon fire. in other online flight games you have to allow for server lag for hit detection. yeah right now there is ground lag but that is being fixed. no great thing ever comes easy.
i just hope all those WoW players like being forced to play on servers in their time zones only.
