It's an MMO. Period. Anyone who believes it's not an MMO, must either a) not know what an MMO is b) knows nothing about the game, or c) is just really dumb. The evidence is there x10. Haters will be haters, though.

I agree, I can't even understand how is this site so full of SWTOR haters... I mean only 47% of people here think this is a MMO.... REALLY???

The game is shaping out to become an awesome experience. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

Yes, I'll play it and I hope for a very long time.

So far the game seems awesome, and I'm just going crazy with all the waiting :)

For me its TOR.

I'm playing the Rift beta since nº4 and also look forward for the game.

Guildwars2 is also on my map, but Star wars and BioWare have the spot lights :)

Awesome post, good job :)

I agree with the open poster.

I tried the open beta, and the game is not for me. Its (to put it simple) boring as hell.

Its a shame that SWTOR wont come up untill somewere in 2011, I really need a good space mmo (bored of EVE, maybe I'll go for Global Agenda, I like shooters a lot)

It seems BioWare understand Solo players, but would also like to encourage (not force) them into grouping.

And I think Bioware has the right idea here :)

I hope they take the time to implement space travel/combat in the game.

Star wars needs space, laubching the game without it would be a major let down for a lot of possible costumers.

This game is going to be super.

It will have all the best aspects of any MMO, but it will add story, decisions and consequences for the player, and its FULLY VOICED.

Having the player choosing with option to take in a quest is very different than just reading and doing whatever is set in front of you.

I will have a blast playing this MMO, and BioWare will do a great job, they always do.

Just look at their past games: Baldurs Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Kotor, Jade Empire, Mass Effect... All top games.

People need a new MMO, the rush for AoC showed that.

I think a lot of people will try SWTOR for sure. If they leave WoW for it... its a different story, as they are very different games, one has elfs and dragoons, other has jedis and starships... Only time will tell.

I will pley SWTOR, but I left WoW a year ago, so I wont be jumping fro one to the other.

Well I guess that settles it then, I don't have to wait for the game to launch now...... Thanks SM. You just saved me a lot of wasted time. I'll go spread the word.

 

Your welcom

Id hate to see people drool and wait for years just to be let down JUST LIKE WHAT HAPPEND WITH SWG !

My friends, quit now before you start !

Thats the only solution.

Meanwhile, im going to wait for a REAL Star Wars MMO.

 

SWG is dead and burried. Move along or go play the emu.

This is a game made by Bioware, They dont go wrong in games, maybe its not the game for you, but it may well be the game for lots of people.

Good luck on the Waiting, I would seat and relax as you are in for a long one.

Will this be the FIRST MMO with FULL VOICEOVER?

I have high hopes this MMO will have full voiced NPC's. Its a BioWare game, and the recent ones all have voice overs. This is a different game, an MMO is massive, so it will be a great feat if they tell us the stories not from text reading, but with emotion NPCs that tell us what to do/How to do/Why should we do anything.

And then we take the action we think its better, real choices for the players, with real consequences.

For a game like this to work we must have voice on everything, its not fun to read walls of text, all MMO's do that and most of us just scroll down to see the rewards.

In Wow for example, we just read the name of the creatures to kill and the rewards for killing them, we dont even realize or care that we are saving some farmers from the wolfes we kill, we just want that green sword and the 1 gold they give us for doing it.

Bioware has a chance to make history in ths MMO market, story driven MMO + Star wars + Companion Characters + Full voiceover = MASSIVE WIN.

This will be an amazing game, its made by Bioware, and they dont make bad games!

Baldur gate, Neverwinter Nights, Kotor, Jade Empire, Mass Effect... Just pick one and enjoy.

And they have Dragon Age and Mass Effect 2 comming

This is the right developer team with a great franchise, I cant wait to play it.

GO BioWare

Jedi master with one, Sith commando with another.

Yes I will play at least 2 chars :)

I'm going light side on my first play, but I will also play a dark side character.

This game will have different stories to every class, so the replay value seems well above average

This game is gonna rock :)

I agree with the open poster, this game could and should have been so much more...

I will use it a lot

So how are the current players taking the news of a KOTOR MMO ?

 People seem happy that a kotor mmo might be comming, but the lack of news is turning it into vaporware real fast.

In a month or so, nobody will even care.

any discussion of a possible shutdown for SWG ?

 Not that I take part in,  and if you think for a little its very obvious that even if the rumor comes out true, we are years away from that game, so SWG still has plenty of room to continue improving and people can play without any kind of fear.

Are forum posts being removed ? I havent seen much on their gameplay forum which is where most of the major posters go.

Nop, and I've been in several posts about the rumor, I coment as anyone else, and haven seen anythink like that, but why do you ask if you can search for yourself?

Any cancellations that you know of from players (yes its early but the game might seem pointless now with no future to play for) ?

lol, I think you have cancelled, so theres one, dont know any other, sorry... I think that most people playing dont give a damn about this rumor (in terms of leaving the game because of it), they play SWG because they enjoy it / have friends in it / its not wow / and lots of more reazons.

When and if Kotor online is released, then people will try it, and if it turns out much better than SWG, people will leave... I really think its a normal thing.

The haters (people that make this kind of posts) and people that dont like SWG (people that dont even come to this forums, have a life outside bashing a game they dont play) have left already, I hope.

 

 

I also prefer the quests as we have now in SWG than the 2003/2004 quests...

Go deliver this datapad to this guy on the other side of the planet and receive this broken hologram... or 50 credits.... or "insert any stupid thing here"... There was not a single quest worth doing, only the very few quest lines (the kryat skull, hero of tatooine.... cant remember any other... lol)

There was absulutly no content in the old game, it was fun having all those professions, but it got old pretty fast as there was nothing to do ingame.

PVP was broken (gotta love to remember the bestine vs anchorhead or Moenia vs Theed battles when the servers got launch, and everybody was fighting in bone armor :D) but the majoraty of the game was empty, Rebel or Imperial theme parks were a joke (stupid missions and ridiculous rewards) lucky for us, the game was new so lots of people playing.

It was fun hanging out on the wilderness in a scout camp (latter the mega camps of the ranger) but when you do it night after night for more than 1 year.....)

Then the buffs hit (we turned into super soldiers) and we didnt group anymore, there was this new unique thing that was called solo-groups and everyone was in composite armor.... talk about attack of the clones :D)

The game came to a point that everybody had done everything 100 times already.

At least now the game has content, its not perfect but I agree that we can have fun in it, at least is not a medieval game with elves and dwarfs, so its a good game to anyone into space theme.

The CU or NGE where nice tries to prevent the game from dying, but the way they implement it..... players left and they did the right thing, no company can try to do a NGE again the way SOE did, and at this prespective I agree 100% with the vets here (I'm also a vet).

I can however see the larger picture, and SWG still has fun to offer, if anyone can forgive/forget (its been 3 years :)) and give the game a chance.
