    Well .... the OP was at least right in that SW:TOR seems to be a singleplayer with multiplayer aspects.

     

    And i really wouldn't hate it if he was right about the other part too !!

    If your statement was more opinion that's cool.  I may even agree.  I am just looking for as much info as I can.

    Thanks

       The ... "seems to be" .... should have given away that it is an opinion, not a fact  .... an opinion based on the articles i've read after the press conference .... 

    Looking at the games bioware has produced and their big emphasis on story-driven and  "little helpers " ... i simply can't shake that feeling ...

    Don't get me wrong, everything I post here is all just my opinion.  As far as "little helpers" again I am just looking for any info I can.  I am optimistic, but not completly sold.  I need more info.  I was asking for you to share the info or how you perceived that info leading to the "seems to be."

    People seem to think that, because BioWare wants to focus on a Story-Driven game, automatically, the MMO aspect is lost, or just a "tacked on" addition.

     

    Why does that have to be so?

     

    From what I read in the FAQ and the Interviews, you will be able to "solo" the game mostly, but you are encouraged not to!!

     

    There is an option to play for yourself and likely there will be content which is only accessible by groups, but all in all, this sounds a lot like many other MMO's out there. You -CAN- solo, but you are never without the choice to group and thus, have the MMO aspect you want. *shrug*

     

    That's my opinion based on what I heard mind you.

    Serious, it is not an MMO. It is the same as Kotor but with some multiplayer action, I know this and do not need to divulge my sources.  The real SW MMO is being developed along side this game but will be Clone Wars era based and not a Kotor MMO. 
    The new SW MMO will be announced soon and will be released in 2009, it will run along side the tv series starting up in 2009.
     

    Wow you must feel like an idiot now.

    The resurrection of this sadly failed thread has made my day. The best option for the OP is to come clean and admit he was wrong. If he shows that I think the thread should be offically declared dead.

    For the last time, can you morons please stop condemning a title that has just been announced? 

    You know nothing about the game, so don't pretend you do. Patience, young padwans, patience.

    My source claim that Indiana Jones will make his appearance too in the game.

    I dont think we have the same source though, I do have my own thumb.

    Divulging his source... He said this as if it was a hard fact written in stone, I love the internet because opinions and things people pull out of their assholes are facts. :D

    What really amazes me BEYOND the OP obvious inability to present any facts whatsoever, is that NO ONE in this thread can get the information either. Especially  when it it as PLAIN AS DAY on the official Old Republic website. All you have to do is read.

    Clicky 

    http://www.swtor.com/info/faq#337

    There is a question there:

    Is this an MMO?

    The response is:

    Yes, Star Wars: The Old Republic is an MMO, or "massive multipayer online game". Star Wars: The Old Republic will allow thousands of players to explore, adventure, and fight in a single game session.

    By definition and in accordance with every other MMO i have played and beta tested ..... this is an MMO.

    Nuf said .... end of freaking debate. Time to move on to something else.

    This is an old thread actually.  It was started when the first leak about an Old Republic MMO came out via the EA CEO.  Someone wanted us to continue to believe that SWG would be the only StarWars MMO in town.  I don't think any of us believed him/her lol, and now it seems people have resurrected this thread to point out just how wrong it was.  Kind of an online "I told you so" it would seem.

    I agree, the debate is over, if there ever really was one, which I doubt :).  Anyone who continues to say it's not an MMO is badly uniformed or out of touch with reality.  Oh yeah, it could also be that they're lying.  Lol, imagine someone lying about a StarWars MMO.
