Way to many kiddies in MMO's today. You can read their venom and immaturity all over the Internet on every single game forum. They "hate" everything.... Like Mikey!
Unless of course it's free for all PVP with FULL LOOT! Woot! The ability to grief, cheat, hack, bot, power level, trash talk and cause pain in game is what they're ultimately looking for. Check out the Darkfall forums here, and the official forums, for all you need to know to understand what you're dealing with in MMO's today.
They don't need quests, storylines, character customization, socialization... Well you get the message.
Just give them a large square box where they can kill each other over and over again endlessly, and they will be happy. But... In the meantime, they will make everyone else's life in a game miserable.

What a load of crap.
A lot of people want depth and realism in their games.......so yeah your right we dont need quests and storylines because that just restricts a persons freedom. I want to make my own decisions in an mmo, not have the game do it all for me. I dont need an mmo to tell me a story as we have films and books for that.
I do want detailed character customisation though that also ties into a reason to socialise with others. Character customisation should go beyond stupid superficial stuff like eye colour, nostril size and the length of your feet. It should include background details such as people you have worked for, groups you are affiliated with, phobias, benefits vs disadvantages etc. It would be great to have a reason to socialise with other players that goes beyond the bog standard brain dead activities like questing and raiding.
I also want that realism to incorporate the potential to attack other players if it fits within the scope of the game. This means that I can realisticly deal with other players whose activities impact negatively on me. If it fits with the game then why should I not be able to do this? In the Star Wars films the good and bad guys kill each other all the time so why wouldnt you do it in a game? An online game is the BEST place for players of opposing views to do battle with each other.
So no not everyone just wants a room where they can blast each other to bits. Thats a very unimaginative way of looking at it and a giant assumption made by a person who wants to only play games that massively restrict how you play. You may only want to play online single player games in co-op mode against the computer where the game thinks for you but plenty of people are tired of that repetitive shit and want something a lot more interesting. If I'm going to play a game with thousands of people then I would like everyones actions to actually MATTER. This never happens in the kind of crappy linear story driven PvE only crap that we hae been seeing for 15 years. There are way too many kiddies like you that crave safe and boring games......but dont worry there will always be plenty of those for you to play.
Very excitied would be an understatement. I love Bioware's entire stable of games, and I have every confidence that the game will be excellent. And the fact there is going to be tons of story driven content is excellent news, imo. MMO's most often sadly lack any kind of deep lore element, so this will be right up my alley.
And to those who are so overtly negative there is a simple solution. Don't play.

AGREED 1000%
OMG and i thought i was the only one that was in this frame of mind and thought it was only me that seen that picture as well.
Lets not forget little red yes red dots and BIG signs waving over here.
I voted neutral as i'm a wait and see type these days, for me the MMO genre has taken a nosedive off a cliff and become too simplistic for me to get excited about any new games coming out. Bioware + Star Wars has raised my spirits a bit as i loved the first KOTOR game.. but that said this is an MMO, i'm just hoping they bring the RPG element back to the genre.
I voted neutral. I have to agree with Draccan, the website is sub-par, the graphics look bad, its just not very exciting release. Considering everyone already knew it was coming out, you'd think they could have made a better release.
The website has been up for what 7, 8hours? The graphics are..... pre-alpha? Some people need to stop seeing the glass as half full. I can't get any good pictures to show how I felt so this will have ot do
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT
Come on ppl when is the release date? What stage of development are they in for graphics? Story? Gameplay mechanics? Get a clue is this Alpha , Pre-alpha , 1 step off the story board? Are they using rough placeholders and/or general concept art modeling? The graphics at this stage mean almost Nothing wait till beta (closed or preferably open ) before you judge. I have been on many beta's i have even gotten into a late alpha once (earth&beyond). The stations were horrid, missing floors, ceilings textures etc the graphics were like a low res version of south park. By open beta the game looked great (for its time).
-IMO The game is way too early in development to say anything other than "Looks interesting, I would like to have more info"
Comments
Quite neutral, the old starwars mmo was average imo.
They need to specify what makes this game special besides taking place in the starwars universe.
If you want to hire Machete to kill the bad guys, you better make damn sure the bad guy isnt you!
Agreed!

Why does every game have to be special?
Sounds like drug users. It has to be a great high, a higher high than other highs. Has to provide an great high on demand any time the user needs it.
Agreed!

I was thinking more along the lines of a retirement home. They're obviously senile.
What are you guys so excited about?
They finally get to use their "sound like Darth Vader"-headset
you mean who ever gets excited over a game announcement needs to get laid.
I didn't see the 'who cares?' option in the poll.
seriously, who cares. The 1% of the MMO population that actually posts on forums?
Get a life.
PLAY WURM ONLINE!! www.wurmonline.com
Agreed!
