Hands On: Star Wars: The Old Republic

[Chipperz]

So far, it seems like WoW with a Star Wars skin and some more story. Meh.

Also, wasn't this supposed to be set in the Old Republic Era? Where'd the "separatists" come from? Sounds like LA is trying to do their "be like the movies"-thing again.

yep, cause wow had lasers, big ships, MANY planets to go to, oo and also the bloody force.

and the word separatists?

"Separatism is the advocacy of a state of cultural, ethnic, tribal, religious, racial, governmental or gender separation from the larger group, often with demands for greater political autonomy and even for full political secession and the formation of a new state".

trust me, this game is going to be nothing like WoW and is going to be nothing like the movies.

BIG Ships [http://www.wowwiki.com/The_Exodar] Oshu'gun is bigger, but all you'll get is a picture of the mountain it became.
Other planets [http://www.wowwiki.com/Outland]
The bloody Force [http://www.wowwiki.com/Mage]

It also has Lightsabers, but I'll be buggered if I can remember the name of it...

I'm really disappointed that they threw in Jedi classes like they said they weren't going to do. We have had star wars games without playable Jedi, and they were awesome. Playable Jedi are just overplayed.

I'm more excited though, they they're breaking from the WoW mold and choosing quality over quantity when it comes to questing. I might play it if they push the grind to the back burner and the game is simply fun to play. The emphasis on story will be interesting, since the typical MMO just ignores this, and the typical MMO player just skips through all the quest text.
