I really like this game and am enjoying it immensly... but innovation? Not really, basically Bioware has taken everything they learnt from Mass Effect and put it with MMOs, there is nothing really new here, it is all old stuff.
Ironically it is th…
I don't know if the article covered it... oh wait it didn't.... well I will.
You can skip quests by just doing the class quests and then going off to do the next planet. you don't have to stick around doing ALL the quests.
While I am really enjoying the game I can honestly say that the only thing it has over other games is story. If you dont play MMOs for the story then TOR is best left alone... at least until the first expansion.
Personally the story is what make…

This list was a bit silly to me, it is the type of list a die-hard MMO hardcore gamer would write. I believe Starwars is deliberately designed to be attractive to not just MMO gamers, but non-MMO gamers. Too many games have been released that try to…
Piracy is not a problem becasue time equals money.
The time it often takes for someone to hack a game, test it, and releae it, then keep it updated everytime a patch comes out means they could be using that same time to earn the cash to buy the ga…
What ruined WoW was the destruction of its lore, repetitive raiding, and lack of variety in items (variety of items is fixed just recently).
WoW is a good game, no one can deny that, but after a year or two it begins to drop off in variety. This i…
1. Day/night cycles can be added later
2. To jump or not is dependant on level design. I mean you don't hear gamers complaining about not being able to swim in sand, but if that was a part of the level design then people would want it in every gam…
WoW, Guild Wars, and Eve online were all released at that time and they were lucky, it was the golden time to release an MMO. There were MMOs before them, and MMOs after but at that particular time people were actually discovering MMOs to a huge ext…

Plot's in MMO are a joke.

It is an interesting way of releasing an mmo because it controls the server load, maintains good customer service, and allows the game to grow at the rate the developers ,an handle. for the player it also provides a range of players at various stage…
Originally posted by Aki_Ross I've got to admit Steam isn't bad, it's got a lot of great and cheap deals. But, it does have some draw backs.
1, It's annoying when somebody buzzers you inside a game!
2, It's won't remember, if you set your friend…
Tabula Rasa could have had hundreds of worlds too... oh wait, they canned that one, ironically the month before they introduced a new world.
I hope this doesn't go the same way.
MMOs are aimed at providing a lasting service to as many people as possible, this means allowing many people to play the game on their machine. MMO graphics have always been worse than single player games because they need this large subscriber base…
As seen in Lord of the Rings and Age of Conan, there is a group of gamers that wants an in depth story and background. While World of Warcraft started by giving this in Vanilla WoW, it has lost it and as a result other games are picking up the slack…
Many people not in EU or US often complain that they can't choose becasue of varying latencies or friends choosing the alternate while they don't. Not region locking saves a lot of problems from a customer service perspective.
Most likely they will be aiming to get it out in time for Christmas, which means a late November, early December release. The next best time after that is April.
Some MMOs choose to release January, but that is more often due to a late release due…
When WoW was released the game got a large following, not becasue it was a good game, but becasue there was a large amount of people that were Blizzard fans. After Warcraft 1, 2, 3 and Diablo 1, 2 there were a lot of fans who wanted the next big thi…
