Hey folks!
I just wanted to take a brief moment to thank you all for your patience as we and our hosting provider worked through our server outage. Who knew that Sandy could take out MMORPG.com and its sister sites (FPSGuru and RTSGuru)? But, now the site has been re-booted and we're all free to spend the next few days talking about the Lucasfilm/Disney merger... and how much Episode 7 of Star Wars might actually be good without Lucas.
Thank you all for your patience during the outage. We hope everyone came through the worst of the storm alright. I live in Ohio, and even we were feeling its power out here in the Buckeye state.
The news is going to start coming back ASAP, and we'll have our features begin posting tomorrow AM.
Now let's get back to gaming!
we've missed you! not that ive been panicking or anything but im sure ive tried the site 20+ times today!
i need to face the possibility that i may be a nerd
Tue Oct 30 2012 6:25PM ReportI already faced it, I am a nerd! I kept trying the site....and trying....and trying.....adn....well you get the idea.
Welcome Back MMORPG.com!!
Tue Oct 30 2012 7:05PM ReportTHIS IS MADNESS!!! THIS IS BLASPHEMY!!!
In all seriousness though, you were only down a few hours, no biggy.
As for Lucasarts... quite possibly the best news i've read in the past year.
My only concern is Star Wars can and has made very adult oriented games before, some of their best as a matter of fact (Dark Forces anyone?). I won't lie and say i'm not a little worried Disney will turn the IP into a kiddy-bop money machine and basically crap on the IP in a totally different way than George Lucas has.

Glad that most of you are ok , and yes that includes you too Bill Lol, even here in Ontario Ottawa , we felt the storm not as strong as you guys but bad enough to down trees and other things.
I think that the merger with Disney is a good thing , but only time will tell to be honest.
Tue Oct 30 2012 10:23PM ReportGlad all is well with you.
Disney has done some cool movies lately in addition to the Pirates series. They can't really do worse than Lucas did with 1 - 3 so the bar is kind of low. I'm more interested in how Disney will do another Star Wars than I would be with Lucas. At least Disney knows how to make a larger than life action adventure and that is what Star Wars is to me.

Good luck to all those effected by Sandy. I would add check out the Red Cross site to donate if you can .

Tue Oct 30 2012 11:25PM ReportDo you know what you caused? GW2 trolls everywhere were in fetal positions, rocking and softly muttering to themselves, knowing that somewhere there were people who didn't share their overt -- and somewhat creepy -- love for the game. And they had no way of setting the non-believers on the straight and narrow. Cruel, simply cruel.
Kidding aside, glad you're back online...
Wed Oct 31 2012 12:17AM ReportI though you guys were on the west coast. However I am glad you are back, and I hope everybody who works for mmorpg.com is ok. Those hurricanes can be bad. I know I lived through several of them, and was personally impacted by Katrina years ago.
Wed Oct 31 2012 8:04AM ReportKeep well, all ppl affected by Sandy.
As for SW franchise, the artistic impulse probably has not been in the chair for a while now. I actually think Mass Effect IP is more relevant and interesting for these times. I believe there is a movie coming out on it: It could work out very good; has the potential.
