Jazzba · September 26, 2011, 08:09:48 AM

I've been waiting a long time for this, and finally, they announced the launch date for Star Wars: The Old Republic! ;D

I'm a HUGE fan of SW, so I'm interested if anyone in the guild is planning to play this once its released. :)

Those who will play it, feel free to discuss about the classes you are thinking about playing and everything else regarding the next Bioware/Lucasarts MMO.

i was excited, but then i saw Wildstar, and Old republic looks so bland and generic now.

Hmmm yeah Wildstar looks neat indeed! :) I must be honest, this is the first time I hear about this game, though..

As for SW, I've been waiting for years for it to be released, so I'm gonna at least try and give it a shot. Its Star Wars after all, and I'm a fanatic when it comes to it.
I can't wait to jump into my Smuggler boots and cause all kinds of trouble around the galaxy! :P

Releasing 2 days before chrismas, they must have good faith in the servers. Oh dear.

Big SW fan but new to the games! I might try this one out though!

I hope they manage to add some more content to it, if what I have heard from the people in beta is true its only going to be fun for the first month.

Can't see that as a bad thing, as I don't have the time to play two mmorpgs really :p

Knights of The Old Republic (2003) and Knights of The Old Republic II (2005), the single player RPG's which were the prequel to The Old Republic MMO were absolutely awesome, and true classics of the genre. Also, they are in my top list of favourite games ever.

Apart from those, I haven't played many SW games either.

The work on SW: The Old Republic has begun five years ago (or more..), and Bioware, Lucasarts and Electronic Arts have said in many occasions that this will be the best and biggest game they ever made.

And taking in consideration the above mentioned companies credentials, I don't see this game failing at any level. :)

Gaeios(Graxlos) · September 26, 2011, 11:10:10 AM

Well the problem is according to what I have heard that this game is too much like KOTOR and does not have good MMO properties.

Everything is narrated professionally which is awesome, but also makes the proces of making new content that much slower.

There is no large group multiplayer content.

The guy I talked about it with, that is playing beta(a guy who loved kotor), said that its an awesome "singleplayer" game but there is no endgame content when you have done all the quests once.

He even complained that you get XP too fast because you have to skip quests which sucks because the quests are awesome.

Jazzba · September 26, 2011, 11:18:01 AM

Yeah well I guess everything we can do at this point is wait and see what the game brings once it is released. :)

It will surely have its flaws upon release, but I'm sure they will work hard on additional content if they want to have a game that will be able to stand side by side with WoW on a long run. They must be aware of that.

The interest for this game is HUGE (there were like 300 pages of posts on their forum an hour after the release date was announced.. O.o) so they better not let down all the SW fans that have been waiting for this for so long!

Gaeios(Graxlos) · September 26, 2011, 11:20:46 AM

Well the old starwars mmo more or less died, because of a single contentpatch that was trying to make the game more casual friendly :P

It did indeed, how I hope they've learned from their mistakes. :(

realy bioware fans were excited about the latest bioware game that bioware made for bioware fans

who woulda thunk

everything and i do mean everything from what i have seen, heard and scream to mean that it is not worth it to buy

one thing that realy annoys me is that you kill revan and hk-47 when you are around level 30-40
i mean killing off 2 characters that are pretty well liked by most people that played the other games seems a bit of a fuck up
