Lets hope so. If anyone can bring together the story driven single player rpg and the MMORPG bioware can.
If they can manage it, it will be a step in the right direction in giving MMO's the depth they have been missing.
I really think this is what bioware is striving for. To get people out of the OMG i gotta grind to max lvl today or this game is the sux...and more into a fluid story that you enjoy at any level so you truly experience all aspects of the game rather thatn chasing your epix

I have my fingers crossed that they can pull it off too. When i think back on the games i've played over the years there isn't a single MMO that springs to mind that had me immersed in the story as though i was reading a book, i can think of countless single player games that did though, including both KOTOR and ME.
If they fail we'll have another WoW in space which will be good for the masses but if they succeed then we might have a game that will change the direction of future ones which will be good for those of us who are a bit jaded with the usual formulaes.
Yep, sounds about right, somewhere between ME with Lightsabers and WoW with Lightsabers is what I expect TOR to be like.
I enjoyed ME a great deal and look forward to a similar experience. Additionally, If it has the endgame of a game like WoW or EQ2, it'll probably keep me entertained more than the 3-4 days ME and ME2 did.

1st) L2 check the posts before making a pointless new one. There is already a very similar thread here.
2nd) You people must decide at some point. Is TOR going to be a WoW with lightsabers or a ME with lightsabers?
3rd) Where did you get your magic sphere allowing you to see into the future? I want one.
No Decisions to make.
The Game is SWTOR by Bioware MMORPG, using the Hero Engine. Deep storyline and vast ammounts of content and depth.
Bioware don't produce anything second rate . So lots to look forward no worries here. The OP has stated nothing that is not blantantly obvious or has not already been discussed or shown.

I hate the ME comparisons really. I liked the storyline there but, unless you went galavanting off on some tangent it really took about 12 hours of game play to complete.
I liked the ME story. I think it would make a GREAT MOVIE. However, the game was too short IMO. I hope this one is an exception to the rule on length but maintains the quality.
Say hello, To the things you've left behind. They are more a part of your life now that you can't touch them.
Shut your pie hole, this is serious business. Can't you see? It's like someone is trying to censor him on a very legit and important topic. I mean, the merits of comparing TOR to Mass Effect, or even an alleged Massively Multiplayer Mass Effect, are blatantly obvious to the educated. For example, such a discussion could [insert logic here]. OBVIOUSLY. Therefore, we should rally behind cyphers and support him to the end. It sounds like he's being oppressed and censored, so he should NOT take a deep breath. In fact, he should take rapid, small breaths, so as to illustrate the fast-paced machinations of his brilliant mind with which we cannot possibly hope to keep up.
Lol. Strangely enough site mods deemed it necessary to change the subject title from this thread from 'SWTOR = MMME with lightsabres' to what it is now, where it's apparently a perfectly normal thing to have and keep 'TOR = WoW with lightsabres' as thread title.
I don't want to go running around as a chicked without head and yell out "biased much?", but I certainly find it strange.
I'm pondering whether I should just change the thread title back, but something tells me that such behaviour is not looked favorably upon.
@Comnitus: *insert solemn nod smiley here* Very true. Have one on me
The ease with which predictions are made on these forums: Fratman: "I'm saying Spring 2012 at the earliest [for TOR release]. Anyone still clinging to 2011 is deluding themself at this point."

I think they kept the WoW with lightsabers one because that was actually a proponent of an article written by one of the MMORPG.com writers. I think if they nix'ed the SWTOR = WOW with lightsabers thread, they'd need to nix the article too, and I doubt they'd be willing to do that.
Yes the article was supposition only, but if it wasn't somewhat controversial noone would care about the article. They have to do something to get people to pay attention to their articles, and I guess they can't reject others on these same controversial means, even if they are troll attempts.

LOL good stuff!
I am so sick of everyone proclaiming everything a WoW clone, or saying "its borrowed x features from y game" there is no such thing as a 100% origional game.... Everyone borrows especially from withing their own studios.
Lol. Another person that didn't get it, or only read posts with half attention.
I'm gonna restrict my comment to merely quoting Drakynn:

Ya know what I think...
TOR will be like...TOR...and...all these people who call it a clone of this and that will play it anyway...
PLAYING: NOTHING!!!
PLAYED:FFXI, LotRO, AoC, WAR, DDO, Megaten, Wurm, Rohan, Mabinogi, RoM
WAITING FOR: Dust 514
Most of them will play it, and some will even like it.
Because the other wow clones are so popular people just can't stop playing them.
