Star Wars The Old Republic

[Razzy]

I hate MMOs because I hate grinding. Slaying random monsters for experience and loot over and over again is probably my #1 gaming pet peeve, just above random spawn points for enemies.

Ok I won't be all alone then

I'm going to try it out for a couple of months, not a huge mmo fan but I love Star Wars so we'll see how it goes....

Me...

Crossing my fingers that it's an excellent game as I know I'll pick it up day 1.

This game is going to destroy wow. Mark my words.

[Kurb]

I hope it doesn't actually.

I would like it to have a nice DAoC style following back when everquest was around.

I've always heard good things about the DAoC community (could be lies) and this game should have a layer of depth that WoW purposely lacks.

I hope SW:TOR is a old jazz vinyl to WoW's Ke$ha mp3.

I def am gonna play this one.. I been looking for another wow type mmo since and they all have failed big time. I do have a good feeling that this game will give me what I look for.

I played DAOC off and on for 5 years starting about 4 months after it came out and I've never played with a better bunch of folks. I'm really hoping for something to capture that feeling again especially in the PvP department. One thing Old Republic will definitely have that DAOC did not is a younger player base. Most of the people I played with were adults (that actually behaved like adults) and Old Republic will definitely attract younger folks than DAOC did. Old school PvP in DAOC was more for the actual fun of the fight rather than some sort of point system or gear reward. You got no points or reward for taking keeps other than provoking the enemy out for a fight. The only thing that provided rewards were relics which were in uber keeps that required 100+ people coordinating to take and could be taken back. I don't ever want to see two armies running on the same field and ignore each other because it's actually more beneficial to ignore each other and capture objectives than fight like I have in other games. I've enjoyed every BioWare game I've played so I really have high hopes for this game.I hope PvP isn't just a tacked on addition but is well planned and integral to the game, I'm looking at you Age of Conan.

This game looks way too much like WoW for me to be interested.

[Kurb]

Yet it looks nothing like WoW....

Most all MMO's have similar interfaces and such.

Graphically I don't see a WoW look at all.

No it wont, there's too many Blizzard nerds (myself included, although I don't play WoW) that will never give up WoW....

From all the in game stuff I saw at E3 (and there was a lot of it) it looks very much like WoW.

It's hard to make an MMO where the combat doesn't look like WoW or any other MMO for that matter to be honest....
