How long do you think this game will live?I know it's been out for less than a month, but the potential is really huge. I mean, we don't even know all the upcoming features (inactive options in the main menu), and with new Star Wars films to be released every year from now on, the number of possibilities is incredible. It is a question of whether EA and CG have the intention of the game lasting for so long, or replacing it with some other title (or a sequel maybe). There are still many flaws but I've been playing since October and love it so far. Really hope it to last and improve constantly. Overall, it's cheaper to enhance something that's good then make something new, out of the black.

In first Time they have to unlock Levels above 60 Quickly, cause prople Should get borred with no real goal.

i hope they dont unlock 60 quickly it just means on all to p2p players will streak way ahead and ill be left in the dirt

Summoners War is out for something like 1.5 years now, i've been playing it for 8 months... it's not really slowing down - so that's a good news for this game, however, the major thing that keeps people playing is true competition. Well designed arena and guild wars and probably "edited for a censored word - a "low level character"" arena coming up soon. Arena here is kind of a joke, an afterthought if you will.... thankfully devs have hinted an overhaul.No chat and guilds are major detriments as well. And let's not forget the money making model. Summoners, employ a model that does not guarantee you anything really. No "special $99.95" packs that out of the bat give you huge advantage over the majority of playerbase. all these affect longevity.If i have to grade longevity of this game at the moment it's prolly C+

Player level and characters level should not be combined. They need to separate these in the next update. Not sure, why they tied player and characters level in the first place?

There were times it was close to death, but that was due to diminishing community due to lack of exciting features or wrong steps. It all depends on keeping profitability and pleasing EA from CGs side. I doubt there is a preplanned death time of Sw/GOHYep, and they are still releasing characters two years later. I can wait until they unleash all the characters that they are creating.

We Can see How selfish are people Who aren't level 60 ..And When They get the goal they immediatly change their mind..At the moment Many people have the 60 goal now and Many begin to get borred ..So , no updatz soon, Many people Will Leave .Trust me i'm a développer .and the rule of a compagnie is not to let people Leave ......

Yep, and they are still releasing characters two years later. I can wait until they unleash all the characters that they are creating.

New game that's fun, and its Star Wars. It should last a long time.

Quite a while. Games like this die slow deaths. But they die eventually none the less.

SwG took 10 years to die, and Star Wars commander has been running for at least 3 and is only a basic tower and defence game. With new movies and publications coming out every year from 2015 onwards, this game will have a lot of content to get characters and events from, plus a 100 million worldwide fanbase to entice. Don't worry about it, you'll likely die before this does.

A game of this magnitude has a long way to go, this is just the beginning. It's starwars and its release was coordinated with the release of ep7, there's still ep 8 and 9 to help keep it in the spotlight. Look at the other nameless games that have been in the top 5 highest grossing for a long time, Imo they will eventually be dethroned by this game for the long run. I'm sure they already have plans for what will be for the next 2 years.
Kinda like the big computer companies, the technology exists years ahead of what is available but they only give it out to the public in small increments to keep the constant flow of money coming in. I'd bet leveling up won't be what changes to keep money coming in, it will be major changes to the type of battles.

But that's just my opinion.

Lol, so true. Also, remember this is Disney not just EA. Disney has said "they will make Star Wars content until it doesn't make money". If you need more convincing look at Hasbro. They have been making Star Wars toy since the late 90's. I remember when they started making the new action figures ppl went nuts.
