    No diversity. Come on... everyones a spy of some sort. This will get boring REAL quick. No way for a player to be original or stand apart in the game. Sounds like a console game to me.

    
     

    I'm sorry but that's a really unfair argument. In a typical fantasy MMORPG we're all adventurers, in a game like Tabula Rasa we're all soldiers, in a game like EVE we're all pilots, in a game like City of Heroes we're all super heroes.

     

    QFT

    and also because I'm sick of seeing the SAME people that complain about EVERY game idea, complaining in EVERY thread about new games that are on the horizon.

    Why is it some of you people can't wait until a game is actually RELEASED and you've...."zomg"....TRIED it....before judging?  Honestly, it doesn't make any of you that do that appear to be intellectuals like you think it does.  Intelligent people gather facts and are capable of critical thinking.  They weigh those facts and make educated decisions and comments.  They don't make decisions, comments and judgements based on speculation and rumors.  Get a grip.

    It's the sound of thousands of SWG vets heads exploding with pure joy. 

     

    EA, don't screw this up.  Let BioWare do what they do best.

     

    No

    I hear thousands of Star Wars and pre CU/NGE fans going :... "oh noes... wow in space with lightsabers"...

     

    this is gonna be about classes, levels, raids, arenas / battlegrounds / instances and linear.. BLAH

     

     

    And uhmm......you know this how?

    This sort of comment is exactly what I'm talking about when I say it's silly to condemn OR condone a game before it's released.  Hell....THIS game is barely a single cell organism yet, and some people are already planning out it's demise.  Ridiculous and immature, I say.  Good grief, I hope none of you ever serve on a jury in this country, if you're in the U.S.  O.o  Bioware is innocent until proven guilty (of high crimes and treason against the gaming public).  You can't charge and convict without evidence, and Sir (or Madam), you have none yet.

  • Wow.  Just wow. 

    Okay....admittedly, when I read this, it made both of my eyebrows go up involuntarily, and I felt a little pitter- patter type fluttering in my heart.  I absolutely loved KoTOR.  I can easily imagine it as an MMO.  Bioware has a good reputation, at least with ME, as I've played a fair number of their games.  Their rpgs haven't been bad....at ALL. And I know that taking that genre into an MMO environment is a different beast altogether, BUT....Blizzard had never done that before either, not really (D2 LOD online wasn't REALLY an MMO), and Blizzard (uhm oops, Activision Blizzard) has had pretty NOTABLE success.  Heh.

    I waffle somewhere between the "naysayers" (that are probably just butt-hurt ex-SWG players) and the overly optimistic, that think there's the possibility that EVERY new MMO could be "The One," as if they were potential candidates for a lifetime gamer marriage.

    What I will say definitively is this...  1)  I WILL be keeping an eye on this one.   2)  I'm a WEE tidbit excited.  3)  I know better than to condemn OR throw accolades at such an early stage, AND.... 4)  I wish Bioware all the luck in the world.  In this vicious world of unforgiving, vicious, and voraciously hungry gamers....they're going to need it.

  • Hey Mr. NOT Clueless (infrared1)....

     

    I already play the game, I'm level 30, and doing just fine, for your information.  A lot of other people that have been commenting in this thread ALSO actively play.  If you'd have taken the TIME to READ the thread, you would have seen that NO ONE gave Malaysia their passport number.  However, they do ask for it.  Perhaps, you in your "uber leetness" have forgotten that, since you've undoubtedly been playing for ages and ages and ages, and have no patience for the "n00bsters" that have questions or are new registrants to Cubizone.  I'm sure you just logged in one day and knew EVERYthing, as intellectuals like yourself ALWAYS do.

    Give us a break.  I LOVE threads like this, because they bring out all the know-it-all assholes sitting there feeling all superior, so that the rest of us can laugh at you.

    By the way, Mr. Intellectual, "stomic" is spelled s-t-o-m-a-c-h.  But then again, that's English, which we know isn't the only language in the world.  However, it is the language that we're all presently communicating in here, although it seems some people can't understand it very well in print.  /sigh

    Wow, you guys think they actually want your passport? I see they ask for identity card/passport number, and having lived overseas many years, this is just a poor translation at getting a point across. They are saying to provide them with ANY number that you will be able to remember for account verification purposes. Take the tinfoil hats off for a moment and think logically, you can put your library card number in there if you want. Are you afraid the communist terrorists will take over America with that?

     

    Did anyone SAY they were afraid they were going to "take over America?"  No, I don't think so.  Don't be moronic.  There's NOTHING wrong with safeguarding your financial information or identity online, if you feel so inclined.  As a matter of fact, most legal authorities will firmly suggest you do so.  This is not a "tinfoil hat" sort of paranoia, being that identities are stolen DAILY.

    To further complicate matters, Malaysia is one of the VERY well known countries from which many spammers and phishing scams originate.  I could probably literally go back and count the "request for bank information" emails and "I've inherited money that I want you to keep safe for me" emails, that I have received from.....guess where?  MALAYSIA.

    Now, to address your THEORY that passport does not mean passport.  To what foreign country have you traveled lately where the word "passport" was not widely understood to BE the English translation of the word passport?  And if you use the word "passport" combined with the word "VISA" I suppose you think other countries think you mean your library card number combined with your credit card number?  The word "passport" is a pretty broadly understood term between countries.  If they wanted another password or PIN number, so to speak, don't you THINK they would have used one of those words rather than "passport?"  Seriously now.  Did you speak to the site owners to determine that this was just a "bad translation" or are you an expert in bad Asian/English (affectionately referred to as Engrish) translations?

    There is no logical REASON to assume that a word means anything other than what is stated.

    Incidentally....did you bother to read the thread, or did you just stop at the first mention of a flawed registration process?  I think everyone in the thread has moved on from that now.
