I'm sorry, what majority? Did you actually counted all the gamers in the world and asked their opinion? All I can see are a dozen of self-proclaimed reviewers giving it high scores - right next to the Mass Effect blinking ADV on the website.
 

The number of sales of BIoware games speaks for itself. If general population was as average in their taste for games(in your opinion ofcourse) they would know better after playing one or two BIOWARE titles.

 

 

 

Let us summarize Bioware's skills:

• - expensive voice acting
• - expensive graphics
• - linear corridors
• - inability to jump
• - lot's of collidable objects around, locking you to a certain small area
• - loading screens behind every corner
• - generic areas - always a cantine, a shop and a couple of quest givers

All of this makes a good shooter. Nothing that makes a good MMORPG or even an RPG.

OK, you can take your Spock ears off and put down that Triquarter now we know your a Star Wars hater, lol It's alright we don't judge you, hehe.

Ah WTH? Browser based? /sigh..... 

All I know is I'm ready for some Lightsaber weilding pew pew space ship flying awesomeness. :)

Ok so since their entire story is good vs evil, and about a man with good intentions going down a wrong path... can I do that too?

Can i start as a jedi and be kicked from the order to become a sith. Ive searched and came up empty only to find them mention light side / dark side points - does this mean if i commit enough evil deeds as a jedi then i can turn sith and gain differnt powers while losing some?

Thanks for any posts

since there will be jedi and sith specific classes from the begining i assume u wont be able to change side after, it would be cool and more "logical" though

 

Ah but you miss BioWares main direction, Story. I'm curious if ToR will have that "Highway to Hell" or "Stairway to Heaven" choice. Where that choice will be the ONLY chance you have to switch. Staying or switching, I'm sure, unfolds into a nice story no matter the direction. 

Yea that would be interesting, damn this game needs to come out soon lol.

As for as I know you can be a Dark Jedi and on the other side of the coin you can be a Light Sith. I'm not really sure how thats going to play out in game as for as turning into a Sith from Jedi or vise versa but it's any ones guess atm.

As much as I agree with you, another thing is TOR people (my self mostly) don't want WoW subscribers, you know why? They are terrible, the WoW community is terrible! Every WoW player out there can keep playing WoW till the end of time; we don't need them at all. I played WoW for awhile and for the most part the game is ok but the community is the reason I left. There is something about WoW that turns good people into asshats, don't know why but it's true.

  Thier stil in design, looking at thier press, they are still adding planets, and havent even started writing the story lines yet.   

 

This is the most ludicrous statement EVER.  Did you need read when they said they have hired over 20 writers to write story and content.  You are insane.  They fleshed out every quest like 2 years ago(exageration).  Read there damn developer blogs dumbass.

Yea, good stuff, I think I read some where that most of the writing process was done, they were finalizing and fine tuning the story lines. Those interviews where months ago already, can’t remember where the hell I saw that at. Any way, it'll be done when it's done people!! I'm about as excited as you can get from a SW fanboy so have patience young padawan.

Yeah we speculate on release dates including when amazon.com posted a Jan 2010 launch and all kinds of other things without getting locked and yet this rates a lock and a dismissive statement.  Makes me think there is some validity to this.  Still doesn't mean we'll see it this year, but early next year still looks good.  

Yea I would have to agree, release will probably be some time next year, but heres to hoping lol. I mean if they have beta this June it only means that they where furather ahead in development than they lead us to be which for fans is a good thing.

Saint Player Association

Saint is looking for Republic citizens to join the fight for the galaxy against the vial forces of the Sith Empire. If you value peace and democracy it is your duty to join us against the hand of oppression from the Sith dictators.

Brief History
Saint is a player association established 2003 in the massively multiplayer online game Star Wars Galaxies. Out of the remnants of what was the Echo squad on the Starsider server was born the Saint-PA. We are a close nit family of online friends and personal friends that like the MMO space and enjoy playing together. We’ve played together in many other MMO titles such as City of Hero’s/Villains, World of Warcraft, Vanguard, Dungeons and Dragons online, and Lord of the Rings online.

Focus
Our focus in almost every game is the player vs. player aspect and a mix of some raiding or dungeon crawling.

Mission
We’re gathering a fun and challenging group of players to advance in the up-coming MMO Star wars The Old Republic. We’re looking for people of all gaming genres to fill out ranks of dedicated members. We’re dedicated to having fun in a non-drama environment and are committed to keep that way.

• Go to our website and register thin apply on our recruitment forum.
Where is your website?

Thank you in advance to any one that decides to join our ranks at Saint, we’re looking forward to great community interaction with other guilds and members of all factions.

They've said in a few interviews that there won’t be player housing but you will have a bank like storage mechanic. As for as the combat they said that they where using traditional MMO mechanics but utilizing cover as an active environment aspect of the combat. There is a lot of the game that is not finished and needing to be tweaked so I'm sure the pace will pick up on combat some time in the future of course that is merely speculative at best at these time, only beta testers know and the dev's.

This video explains a little better of the combat system and the UI, hope this helps.

You're retarded. And so is everyone else that speculates. Oh, it's going to be class-based? Word. No way, raids? Non-sandbox? Oh well. Hey, wait a minute...how do you know any of that?!

OMG EX-BIOWARE EMPLOYEE POSTING HERE!!!!

Goddamn morons.

I couldn't agree with you more, I'm an ex-swg vet and I loathe these whiny jackasses. Bioware is going to make a good game, every freakin game they've ever made has been a big hit, what makes you guys think any different because it’s an MMO? Every one needs to take a breath and let the info start coming out first before you dumbasses get your panties in a bunch.

Well I'm not worried that the game isn't going to be good or not, can you imagine KOTOR+Jade Empire+Mass Effect= best MMO ever! Yea I can see that happening.

I don't care what kind of game it is, sandbox, story driven, doesn't matter, I'm sure the Bio-ware guys will have a good story in place all you have to do is look at every other RPG they've made in the past. Look at how mass Effect is, very good story not really linear but pointed in the direction you needed to go, what ever they do it’s going to be freakin awesome. There are some things I’d like to see in the game at launch or right after:

·         Vehicles

·         Space ships

·         Space battles

·         Play spaces you can only get to by ship

·         A crafting system that doesn’t require me to be a blacksmith

·         A real light and dark side system

·         Other professions beside Jedi

·         Bounty system

·         Mob-able UI

·         Dynamic AI, not just MOBs standing there waiting for me to attack them

·         Good ranged combat, not wack a mole style combat (realtime)

That about it for now lol, just a few things.

I'll be keeping my eye on this game, sounds good on paper we'll have to see how the game turns out.

Yea and if you've learned any thing about these forum is that asking that kind of question is going to bring on the flame retardant undies. To be honest I'm surprised this tread is not 3 pages long yet.

This kind of tread is troll bate, nothing more, I can say one thing about this forum is that the more that posts here the more people wanta see what every ones talkin about here and why the flames go back and forth. It's only generating hype for the game more and more, most are going to try the game any way despite the minority of TR haters you all are just making it better for the game with all the hits that come to the TR section of MMORPG.com. So way to go TR haters!

I picked Warrior priest but I'm really not sure atm, there are a few careers not announced yet.

Every time I see this kind of tread it makes me laugh, it's obvious that they have nothing better to do, they played beta and didn't like it and try to make it their personal mission to save the world from what “they think” is a crap game. Well, FYI, it's not a crappy game, a lot of things have been added over the last month and more is going to be added in the near future, so there is no need for you trolly people to be here, you’re not playing the game why should you care at all? If you put as much time and energy into say the cure for cancer that would be done and you would be working on world piece by now.

Is that retail box sales only or does that include the down load sales also?
