Okay okay, I know it is still a ways away but I'm pretty stoked about getting this game. I remember playing Galaxies when it was brand new and, besides the massive nerfing after a while, the game was awesome. Anybody been keeping up on the news? Who is planning on picking up a copy and going on some caffeine binges for some all day and overnight nerdified gaming?


Also, I've been a lurker on this board for a while now and NEED to start talking more so that I can post up deals that I find...disregard the low post count :)
 
Me and my former WoW guildmates have been following TOR for years now. We're pretty psyched up.
 
I'll be getting it with a couple of friends of mine. One a WoWer, the other one completely anti-WoW.
 
I'm getting it and I know 5 or 6 friends that are getting it too. I realize that all evidence points to this MMO being essentially a WoW clone with the Star Wars theme, but damn it, I don't care. It looks like a ton of fun. I haven't been this excited for a game's release probably since Mass Effect 2.

For some reason the thought of charging into a PvP battle with my friends in this game just has me giddy :D

edit: Also I think this game will have real staying power in the MMO market. It certainly won't dethrone WoW but it will probably come closer than anything else ever has.

Also, I'm assuming they will have some type of Collector's Edition type of thing, and I plan on buying at least a couple extra copies of that for safekeeping, something I've never done before.
 
It looked good before they released any information, but now that it is looking like a WoW clone, I'll definitely be getting Guild Wars 2. I think it looks promising.
 
I will be going for it for the story, supposedly it has rvr but will be worth it to me regardless.
 
I've had no interest in this game, I'm not a fan of Star Wars in general. Only thing that had me at all interested was Bioware, but with EA now at the helm and such, that killed any inclination to even look at a screenshot now.

I'm personally looking forward to Warhammer 40K Online, I love me some WH40k
 
I'm definitely keeping an eye on it, but my luck with MMO's haven't been that great of late. Bored with WoW, unhappy with Rift, and was not really thrilled with Aion. So, I'm hoping this one will be a winner.
 
GW2 are in my sights. I don't like the feeling of having EA in control. The only game I've enjoyed on their behalf is BF and that isn't saying much since I rarely play it anymore. :$ Their customer service blows as well.
 
From what I have seen, the combat looks really awful and incredibly boring. For example, that one demo of the ranged class taking cover and shooting his pistol.

This would be awesome! But you know it wont happen!:mad: I knew this game was fail as soon as they released gameplay vids.

It's all about Guild Wars 2 man..
 
I'm definitely going to get SWTOR and give it a shot. I have really enjoyed almost every game from Bioware. I will at least give it the included month. I just hope they release a polished game.

Guild Wars 2 is a day one purchase to me since it has no monthly fee.
 
Star Wars died with Episode 1 for me, I played the first free month of SWG and was unimpressed
 
I want KOTOR 3, by BioWare. Not an MMORPG. KOTOR was such an amazing game. If you like RPGs, you own it to youself to play this. SW or not. I enjoyed the story almost more than the original trilogy.
 
Hmm, never thought about Guild Wars 2. I have been looking at that as well. I have to admit, GW2 looks a lot better the TOR. I wonder if I should try out the first Guild Wars to get an idea. Its only $30 dollars on Steam for the Trilogy.
 
I will gladly buy the special edition promo wtfever edition for 70 or 80 bucks what have you for this game. I'm a huge SW fan always have been and always will be and I can't wait for this game. I have missed playing a SW MMO since myself and my closest circle of gaming friends all left right after the NGE and went to WOW. Bring on TOR. Oh and a dam release date would be nice Bioware.
 
At least one or all 3 of these types of people will be all over this game, in no particular order. 1.Sw fans, obviously. 2. Sci-fi RPG/MMO fans 3. Bioware fans. Most people that buy this game are either one or all of the above. I happen to be all of the above.

Odds are if your not at least one of the type I mentioned then you probably aren't remotely interested in this game. It's not rocket science.

Edit: Just want to add there are some people who are general FOTM MMO players that will try the game and most will dump it before the first month sub comes due. We all know who they are. These are the WH/AOC/LoTR/STO/Rift people. You will also see some people come from WoW who are sick of WoW but alot of them will end up going back to wow also. So we pick up some drifters from here and there as well as the 3 types I mentioned.

What about people that just want a new MMO? People who aren't fans of SW (yet), of the Sci-fi RPG/MMO genre (yet), or aren't huge Bioware fans?

For the record, I am a fan of all the above as well.

People who are just looking for something new are probably the same people (mostly) that try just about every new mmo that comes out and stick with none. See my edit. Of course some will stick with it but as a general rule these FOTM (flavor of the month) people try em all and stick with none.
 
Currently on my "not gonna bother" list.

SWTOR looks to have a ton less depth than pre-CU SWG did. I haven't really seen anything yet that shows it being anything more than a cookie cutter MMO.

It's Star wars. What more do you need? :rolleyes:;)
 
I will not buy it (atleast it's not on my list), not because of EA or Bioware or anything like that. I just won't ever buy a game without a death penalty or a penalty for failing, as those games have turned very boring to me almost immediately.. I have not read enough about SWTOR to know what type of penalties there are, but I assume it will not have one like every other game released in the last few years. Be it Rift, Age of Conan, etc.

Hmm not sure where your coming from. Rift and AOC both have some kind of death penalty.
 
Maybe. I'm all MMO'd out, though. If I ever played this, it would be at a very casual level.
 
I don't have my hopes up. I'm not a big fan of Bioware, they focus more on making things like well recorded voice dialogue rather than interesting and balanced gameplay in my opinion. Will wait it out and see reviews before I jump in feet first.
 
Rift has a death penalty? What is it?

I've been playing since beta and I have never once encountered a penalty for dying...Soul walk brings you right back to your spot. Big deal, when you die and have to walk back you are a spirit and you can't get attacked anyways. It might take 2 minutes of time to walk back because they have graveyards all over the place.

You have to die 11 times before you even encounter any sort of penalty. And you just pay a few gold (when you have dozens of plat) to fix it. Apparently if you do have 11+ deaths and encounter the actual penalty, it wears off after a certain amount of time anyways. So you don't even need to pay the gold if you don't mind a 15 minute reduction in character stats (and the stats mean nothing anyhow. If you have 300 strength of 305 strength you won't notice it anyhow.)

Thats a penalty?

No way.

Age of Conan was exactly the same way as Rift, except you don't have 10 lives before the penalty hits.

Anybody have any knowledge of Star Wards penalty?
