I'm personally holding off on this one until it's been out for a week or two and we see some impressions.
I'd love to play a good Star Wars MMO and I think putting it in this time period remedies a lot of the problems that plagued games like SWG, but I'm skeptical of how well some of the stuff they've described will turn out (especially a lot of the narrative stuff, which sounds potentially awkward for an MMO). And I've seen a couple of reviews from people who've gotten the chance to play it while it was testing that suggested that it was more or less just WoW with Star Wars textures.
I'm certainly not decided that it's going to be bad, but I figure it can't hurt to at least wait a couple of days.

even though i would much rather have this as a single player game, it is kotor, it is bioware, and they are putting the mmo in a direction that i like (the only downside is subscription fees...i fucking hate them.)
but still, christmas?
pft, bout to gain like 30 lbs from being a fat lard eating christmas cookies and playing this game non stop.

The Old Republican. Sorry. That's all I could think of. I need help, I really do.samfergo said:
A Sean Hannity production.
Oh no...I'll just be sitting here waiting for a new single player Star Wars RPG. I'll probably be waiting for a while though. I tried WoW but didn't really like it and this looks a lot like WoW. I also strongly dislike subscription based games.
Talk about pushing it out for Christmas.
Oh well, I'm won't be getting it. At least not until I've seen enough gameplay/reviews to convince me otherwise. Never been that intrested in sci-fi.

I just plan on bringing my rig home for the holidaysSonicron said:I'm calling it now: A lot of people will be... unexpectedly 'too sick' to visit their folks for the holidays this year.
I admit, from the looks of things the game's shaping up to be entertaining, but my soul still belongs to Dark Millennium.
Captcha: ordsorb mourned... Is Captcha trying to tell me a story? :\
although my friend called me a horrible person for doing so since i'll probably be playing that more than spending time with my family.OT: I got this in an email, it totally made up for my complete shit night at work
I don't do subscription fees, so no, and I probably never will. Besides, it will probably force me to use origin like battlefield 3, and I'm no youching that. I'm so against it I'll seriously rethink my Mass Effect 3 purchase if it requires it despite playing the first two and never knowing the end in that case. I probably wouldn't buy anyway way though since i don't like MMOs.
Initially I was rather worried about TOR coming out this year, but after having spent some time with it, I feel it is very much capable of being ready for a Dec.20 launch.
I'm still kinda disappointed about the lack of lifetime sub options, but I guess the 6mo. ones will have to do.

You can buy (online) and play it but there aren't Australian servers so you'll probably have to put up with lag and such.samfergo said:

Coincidentally... He, like myself and many other jaded fans, think SW:TOR could have been better [http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/09/13/the-soapbox-why-mmo-combat-sucks-and-how-bioware-couldve-made/]. That's not to say it's bad or going to fail or anything like that, just that it had some unique opportunities to evolve the genre that were passed up (on purpose, I hear). We'll have to wait and see how that turns out.
Ideally, yes. But not all of them. *cough, cough [http://us.blizzard.com/store/browse.xml?f=c:5,c:33]*rsvp42 said:
Hence, the "potential for evil" comment.rsvp42 said:
Moving further off-topic (heh)... Jef Reahard over at Massively.com would agree with that [http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/08/30/the-soapbox-subs-and-cash-shops-two-great-tastes-that-taste-a/], which is one big reason I don't want to play The Secret World anymore.rsvp42 said:

I dont think I will be picking this one up either. Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is enough money and time to spend on a game
They forgot more than just Oceania. They left out most of Asia, all of South America and Africa.samfergo said:
Though that is the same with WoW. There are no WoW servers here in Africa despite a large number of people playing who are forced to connect to European servers with a bad internet connection.
