MCV quotes Electronic Arts CFO Eric Brown at the UBS Annual Media and Communications Conference discussing what it will take for
Star Wars: the Old Republic to be a success. Brown says BioWare's upcoming MMORPG will not require the kind of subscriber base of World of Warcraft to last a decade. "Our assumptions for break-even and profitability are not seven-digit subscribers. We think we can run and operate a very successful and profitable MMO at different levels," he told the assemblage. "The key thing here is to really perfect the product. We’re shooting for an extremely high quality game experience. We view this as a ten-year opportunity."

but ultimately junk food with no redeeming value in it.
No redeeming value?!
But if I don't give this random NPC with a ? over his head 10 cow horns I won't level up! Since cows drop cowhorns at a rate of 1 per 10 killed, I need to kill 100 cows to appease this NPC. Since there are 4 cows in this field, they spawn at a rate of 1 per minute, they take 1 minute to die, they take 2 minutes to get to from another, and 4 of us are in this field...
Crap, I have no clue how many minutes that turns out to be to do this quest, but man, is it ever value. I can't wait for the NPC to ask me to then deliver these 10 cow horns to someone halfway across the map as if I'm a UPS driver!
