 I do believe that Bioware has already stated that TOR will be micro-transaction based.

Someone at Bioware said this and then retracted it. At this point, we don't know what it will be.

The most frustrating thing about all of this for me is the fact that so little information has been released so far... it leads to wild, uninformed speculation.

 

exacly my thoughts, they need to release more info, i mean 2 classes :-(

Micro-transaction does not necessarily mean the game will have an  item mall. It may mean nothing more than every couple weeks they'll release a new mini exspansion for a few dollars.

ahh that i like, cous thats what they did in in EQ2, sometimes, i would actually love it, if they did things like that

the worst thing, was LOTRO for me

I am looking for the dev interview where they say they like WoW and will use it as a model.

 

so they are going for the millioners crowd? if so, they wont get many subs, i dont like it when its not fair for everyone, everyone plays the same game, bought it, they should be treated the same, imo

 

People always overreact to this micro-transaction payment plan. It also shows who has a superiority complex when they throw a temper tantrum because someone with more money could get the new shiny items and they were too pig headed to buy it. You are not paying a sub fee so instead spend that $15.00 a month on transactions to get your "shinies"

 

I for one love micro-transaction because I can get away with a free game while everyone else needs to be "superior" and drop massive cash on it.

 

 

Shiny? so it not gear that makes you alot betterm stuff like that? becous thats what makes me worried

No one knows.  No one knows whether this will be micro-transaction based, no one knows whether it will be heavily instanced, no one knows how soloable it will be, no one knows how gear based it will be . . . no one knows.

lol no, but we do have our thoughts :-)

TBH all this speculation is just silly.  BioWare has state that this is an MMO so all this naysaying trying to say it's a single player game in disguise is silly.  BioWare is known for:

1) Releasing quality software

2) Releasing games that are very close to, if not spot on, their targetted feature set.

If they say it'll be an MMO then it'll be an MMO.... TBH I do hope they do some 'breaking of new ground' with how this works verses other MMO's because I'm about sick of all the games that just key off the same old rules that have been followed since EQ1/DAOC were released.   I am, for one, really looking forward to seeing what BioWare comes up with and am going to go into it with a completely open mind like I do with any other MMORPG.  

 

I hope your right

There are rumors going around this game is going to be heavily instnaced and zoned like Aoc.

And for now, that is all they are.  Just like living in a small town you don't believe anything anyone says unless it is from the person the rumor is about.

yea to many rumors, i want the truth! :-) hehe

all tho i hope its not "HEAVILY" instanced, sounds like alot :-p

The real question is will the game be any good? I think with Bioware behind it the chances are pretty good that it will be.

 

i bet it will be a good game, but, if they set a montly fee, will you pay every month for a single player game?

 

I do believe that Bioware has already stated that TOR will be micro-transaction based.

hmm i hope not, that means the peeps with the moste money will have a better game.. thats not fair to anyone really

Bioware stands for quality. When they say they'll make a MMO, it will be a MMO )

Hope so :-)

hello folks. with all the talk about this game gonna be more of a single player game, what do you guys think, its on this site, so somehow it must be a MMORPG, what do you guys think, do you think theres gonna be lots of social content in this game aswell? I sure hope so, cous if they are focusing on the single player part, it wont turn out good, not for a mmorpg

i dont wanna play a single player mmorpg, WTF? :-O

I agree with you housing is always awesome and adds more to the game. Sadly however there will not be housing in Earhrise at launch. Maybe later on but not at launch, as Masthead wants to concentrate more on actual needed mechanics (territorial conquest, pvp, crafting, etc..) and get those squared away before moving on. As player housing is not a priotry in games and also there will be guild bases in the game. That should keep people entertained until player housing.

 

 

was there housing in swg at launch?
