I actually took an alt to 50 for Makeb, then realized I wanted to do more alts first. I don't really care about achievements, but I found myself making an alt from scratch just to see how the leveling experience has changed.

I've notice that BioWare has done alot of 'cost of living' increases in the first 1-50 areas. Emails from quests givers are all in sync with your choices, new flight paths where they did'nt used to always make sense (Korriban). Chapter bosses are easier now as well. I completed the Chapter 3 Jedi Knight with a companion I hadn't touched in 20 levels for instance.

Some people love the class story's other couldn't care less. If the game had been more successful I think they might have kept going with it. But I don't see them doing anything other than the planatary storylines now. All in all for $10 Makeb has been worth it for me, and the servers are crazy packed even in the lower level planets, so alls well that ends well.

Hello Mr. Bitton,

I wonder if MMORPG.com would institute a +1 feature where we could like a story. I know the comment section rapidly degrades in a big ball of whine often enough. I want to let the writers know stories that were enjoyable without being lost in the 'I hate this game' comment section. My two cents.

We want it now and we want it free. eh. I'm ok with this. Gamers have made the switch to faster content, recent news has made that fairly certain. World of Warcraft, LOTRO, and Rift, have all failed to garner the excitement that expansions used to garner, times have changed.

Gamers don't want to wait 12 to 24 months for new expansions as in the old days. Game companies will need to make smaller cuts of content, quicker, for a fraction of the price. Gamers have spoken and Bioware has listened. So what are people angry about now, facing the reality of their choosing?

Ahh Sword Art. Just watching the first few episodes is enough to make you remember why you love these games. Alas, we're still waiting for VR.

Addendum: Ragnorok 2 looks like good simple fun plus its Free2Play, if you haven't played many MMO's. If you have maybe Tera or Guild Wars 2? They are both fairly solo friendly like the main character of the show.

I don't think we need to all start drinking the kool-aid but I wonder how the negativity surrounding MMO's is good for the industry. Consider, is a casual gamer more or less likely to start playing MMO's after reading the comments section. I have to say I quote TSW everytime this comes up.

"If you want to learn about humanity read the comment section on youtube".... "I hate the internet"
