What is everyone playing while they wait for SWTOR to launch?

Me? I'm stuck at the moment. Can't decide which crappy mmo I want to play for a week.

I am playing Skyrim Over 170 hours in and I am downloading World of tanks as we speak haha.

I'm currently in the middle of a weeklong trip to southern california.  When I get back to the real world, I have a pair final to worry about and plenty of work to catch up on.  So, right about the time all of that is finishing up I should be playing the Head Start :)

Skyrim and D2!

World of Tanks and EVE Online.

I only have 80k more RP to go until I have officially researched every German tank in the game!  E-100... you are nearly mine!

EVE also just released a new free xpac (all of EVE's xpacs are free) that includes four new ships and some massive graphical upgrades among other things, so I've been PVP'ing over there in mah new Tornado and Naga Battlecruisers.

I am playing the MMORPG.com forums

I'm playing the free 30 days Age of Conan is offering to veterans, bored out of my mind wanting this game to release!

Oh yea...and working..

Hey hourglass, how does the game work exacly? To get other tanks do you need to purchase them from a item store? I am still downloading the client.

Moving. Followed by staring at the walls.

Diablo 2, Torchlight and I'm thinking of getting back into WAR.

Got a bit bored of Skyrim so stopped playing it for the time being until the toolkit is released, other than that just the odd game of BF3 here and there.

I don't even know why that is a question, Skyrim yo! I'm in the 100s as well. Have the game fully modded with almost ever high quality graphics mod out there too, it would give ultra settings on BF3 a run for their money for sure. 

Im surprised nobody has mentioned KOTOR yet, i thought people would want to brush up on their bioware lore.

While there ARE a handful of tanks that can be purchased from the item store, they are mostly terrible.  The Type-59 being the only one you may really want, and it only costs 30 bucks.

Otherwise you can get new tanks in one of two ways:  There are tank trees, much like skill trees in themepark MMO's.  You play a tank and earn credits and research points towards your next tank.  Some tanks allow you to branch into several tanks, other tanks only progress to one other tank.  So you earn RP's and spend those on the tanks you want.  You also earn what it called Free Experience which is a percentage of the experience you earn for a specific tank.  This experience can be spent anywhere.

The second way to get a new tank is to buy back your Research Points in the form of free xp.  If you have a tank that is fully upgraded and you continue to play it, then you keep earning research points in it.  If you WANT, then you can spend Gold (purchased with RL money) to convert those RP's into free experience and basically level your way through crappy tanks without ever having to play them.

Basically you can play the game totally free, or you can spend some gold and get where you want to get quickly.  I've personally done a combination of both.  I played through about half the tanks in the german tree and spent some RL money buying my way through the others so I didn't have to use them.  Wargaming makes some of the tanks in your tree suck horribly ON PURPOSE to make you want to buy your way out of playing them.  So if you take the free path, then you'll have some times where you want to waffle face on your keyboard.

So, I heared it's "So-I-day" ...

So, I'm playing Skyrim in the meantime ...

So, I'm on my third character: A redguard female this time ...

So, I've installed a nudemod for extra immersion ...

Lots and lots and lots of smoking, The Prodigy on blast, and watching tons of gameplay fotage of the empire while doing so!

Not playing the empire so figured it wouldnt be ruining the story, and I can feel kinda like im playing? lol

-_- so sad...

Im playing EvE online, pew pew pew;

Also playing GW and trying to get the achievements done so i can have the goodies in GW2;

Im trying DCUO and the new ddddzzzzzzzzztttt expansion. Looks decent. Servers down a bit often;

Will replace DCUO for Battlefield 3 if i get bored of it;

Playing battlefield 3 and trying to shake off the DT's.

P.s spending way too much on christmas.

I'm avoiding games entirely, so I can dive in fresh and rested.  Going to read the new "Revan" book in a couple days to get in the proper mindset.  And another bonus of TOR, let's me wait until Skyrim hits the bargain bin before buying it.

I got burned out on Skyrim, so I'm trying something completely different.  I'm reading a book.  Currrently reading Stephen King's new book, 11/22/1963.  Not too bad at all.
