Default Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic

I learned how to and bought the components for (and then subsequently built a) gaming computer almost entirely for this game. I mean, there's other games I was a little interested in and I've been playing those games while waiting for this to come out, but this was the thing that actual got me to buy one. I also got to play a weekend of the beta and I had it pre-ordered so I got 6 of the 7 days of early game access, too.

I'm a level 42 Jedi Guardian on The Shadowlands server.

I think its really great. I was a huge fan of KotOR I and II and became a Bioware fan because of that. I was crazy excited when TOR was announced, but disappointed it was an MMO because (at the time) I didn't have a computer that would be able to play it and just in general am not a fan of MMOs.

Like I said, though, I think its really great so far. Like Vampyr alluded to its a lot like playing KotOR III with other people. The potentially awesome thing about it, though, (depending on what you're looking for out of it) is that the class quest (i.e. the story portion) is designed to be soloable. So if you just want to experience KotOR III (and IV, and V, and VI, and VII, and VIII, and IX, and X since every class has a unique storyline) you can, but if you want to group up and complete group oriented quests you can do that too.

There seems to be a fair amount of MMO fans that are disappointed, but nearly nearly KotOR/Bioware fan seems to be really enjoying it and a lot of MMO fans are too. I suggest you try it out.
