I’m not surprised TSW didn’t do well. For one they’re a badly managed company. Their website sucked, still sucks, and always had problems. I constantly had bank issues trying to get subscriptions. ON top of that, the original experience was not at all new player friendly. I remember severely struggling in the game and nothing was ever explained. I remember people always said they loved their was no hand holding, apparently in the long run it did damage because I saw reveiwers complain about it. They never allowed ability wheel respecs so if you started a build you hated, you’d either have to reroll to just deal with it. ANd because of the insane variety the game had respeccing was very much needed. Everyone kept saying “you get every skill eventually” yes, like 1000 hours into the game. You expect people to wait that long people are not gonna play the game.
This is what happens when you make an MMO that appeals to a hardcore difficulty audience. It was only a few years into the game did they make it more easy.
