Yes, to me SW:TOR sounds pretty heavy on the theme park side. It looks like there is a lot of instanced scripts (for lack of a better description) rather than talk-to-a-villager quest starts.

The main one is SWGEmu. They have a server with on average about 1000 - 1500 players each night. It's great, very playable. I made a short vid about it a while back. It's about 90% completed

I didn't think they would make a 2011 release.

The closer this game comes to release the less appealing it is to me. It's just another MMO. Something needs to shake the genre up, if that's even possible.

I agree. The story and how all that is done is excellent. Love it. However, it lends itself more to a single player or co-op game than a persistent MMO.

I loved the original trilogy. I'm a huge fan of science fiction. I'm obviously a pretty large MMORPG nut.
Yet for some reason, this game has always looked really lame to me. I can't quite place it, but the more I've learned, the worse it looks.
From what I hear, they literally copied WoW, flaws and shortcomings included, and then pasted some band-aids on top. That's the central, core game play...and I don't know how fans of the game can gloss over that as if it doesn't matter.

I'll surely end up buying it, but I don't have any great expectations. It'll probably be fun for what it is, and it may entertain me for a couple months.

I've decided to stick with one old game to provide a bit of a fix for my addiction, so I can vote NO on all these lame clones with my wallet. 
Never bought Rift, Not buying TOR. I figure if they think I want to keep playing WoW, I'll just play the original rather than the knock-offs. |
