RIP to the king of pop Posts: 401 Group: Members Member #8 Joined: Apr 14, 2009	Yeah, I didn't see any thread about this game. I think it deserves one since out of all the other games, it looks the most promising. I'm gonna borrow what Khatib posted a while back. -- STAR WARS: THE OLD REPUBLIC -- http://www.swtor.com Star Wars: The Old Republic was confirmed to be in production in July of 2008 after a year of rumors surrounding Bioware and how it was supposedly working on Star Wars IP. Bioware has chosen to use the HeroEngine a robust engine designed to develop MMO games. SW:TOR is the first AAA title to use the highly touted engine, which includes collaborative tools that allow developers to update the game in real-time simultaneously. Currently announced as PC only title there isn't any speculation that it will be released on any consoles. What we know so far: Confirmed Classes Bounty Hunter Sith Jedi Trooper Rumored Classes (so far) None Setting 300 Years after KOTOR, 3,500 years before the Star Wars films Plot The writing team is said to include 12 full-time writers, based on videos and interviews the core story seams to revolve around skirmishes between the Jedi and Sith. After losing control of Coruscant, the Jedi and Sith have operated under an uneasy truce, which is now bordering on collapse. This of course leads to speculation about PVP and zone control, but this hasn't really been discussed at this time. Story BioWare claims that each class will have its own distinct storyline integrated with the overall game storyarc. Other quotes have mentioned that no class will share quests with any other class. Planets It is said players will have access to many planets, so far only four have been mentioned in any detail: Coruscant, Tython, Korriban and Hutta Planets that have been mentioned but have had no further detail: Alderran, Utapau, Agamar, Dathomir, and Manaan. Leveling It has not yet been confirmed if character advancement will Level- or Skill-based or some hybrid.

You so CRAAZZYY!! Posts: 187 Group: Mods Member #7 Joined: Apr 14, 2009	Voyevoda Jul 10 2009, 12:17 AM Wow community was awesome the first 2 years. I might have been just my server but the horde community in my server was so small that it was like one big guild. Sadly AQ ruined everything.....god I hate that fucken place. I'd rate it a 7.5/10 pre BGs and that's being generous... and in large part because you could use leet to get around the chat barrier back then, a 6/10 post BG patch, and a 4 or less (the more I think about it, the lower it would go) out of 10 post cross-server BGs and paid transfers. I think a lot of it going downhill was the way Blizz took the game, but also probably a large part of it was the more Blizz dumbed the game down, the more people played, and the more absolute retards got into it.

Cross-server BG killed pvp for me. I agree blizz fucked the game up but it's still fun to play casual. I myself am so busy with work/school that I rather spent my time at a club then play MMO's.
