Star Wars: The Old Republic

I got the newsletter about this yesterday, I'll keep a eye on it.

Honestly though, Id rather see a Warhammer 40k MMO now. Age of Conan also promised to have a deep story like a CRPG. But this is Bioware so its worth watching.

As long as SoE isn't involved in this...they totally screwed up Star Wars Galaxies.

Man I hope this one is worth it. I've wanted a Star Wars MMO as much as Dave wants big hard cock....and we all know how much that is!!

I've been tracking this one since it was announced. Bioware better not fuck it up.

I'm with the guy on the MMO Report, on G4TV.com. He's spazzing out as well about the announcement of this game. Right now I'm playing Warhammer for the PvP aspect of the game, but am finding it a bit too much like WoW, with the excess of only scenario pvp combat. Bioware does an excellent job on story lines, but never seems to get a good graphic engine/user interface running.

I sincerely hope that it remains only Bioware, and Lucas Arts, that work on this mmo. I also hope the graphics, while far from being the most important thing to me, is better than the screen shots reveal.

Here's to hoping the game turns out like all the fans look forward too, and not like SWG.

I'm keeping my eye well on this title. I loved SWG until it was changed into the EQ sci-fi game that is it today. When they changed the whole hologrind-to-become-a-jedi system I quit. The beauty of the old system, even tho some what flawed, was that jedis were so rare and near impossible to obtain (randomness played a big part too imo). Jedis were even afraid to leave their homes in fear of getting found by a bountyhunter and hunted down - the coolness factor of that alone is just, well... cool.

Now I hear there're like comabt lvls, that you can start as a jedi (wtf?!) and other crap and that the skill trees have been completely screwed. So sad

In all honesty... Star Wars has gotten so overexposed for me, there is no lure to play this. At all.

I'm right there with you. I played through the first CU and then they killed it with the NGE. I had 3 accounts at one time and canceled them all on the first day of it. If you havent been following it, this is a great project that will hopefully restore the game to a lot of people. SWGEmu.com

I cant wait for this one to be done. Bioware is one of the best at getting a story across and MMOs have been missing that. SOE I dont think will be involved in it but it keep in mind that Bioware falls under EA now. Some also say that it wasnt SOE that fucked up SWG but it was instead Lucas to blame.
