Yep MMO. I'm not sure I like the idea, unless there are free servers. But if that's the way it is, then: "So be it, Jedi!"

It's being developed by BioWare, so it probably won't suck. KOTOR 1 was awesome.

Raptor1 · 06-02-09, 08:23 AM

KOTOR2 was awesome as well...until you got to the end

Hopefully TSLRP will be released soon enough to fix that...

Damn that trailer looks good

Yeah, Kotor 2 wasn't bad. But it wasn't developed by Bioware, Obsidian received permission to use Bioware's engine. One of the infamous bugs in that game was "Swoop bike racing on the ceiling" , and surprisingly it got introduced after installing the patch :P .

Really looking forward to the MMO though. SWG was epic fail after they made some dumb updates.

The real problem with KOTOR 2 was the massive amount of cut content, including the infamous HK factory on Telos (You can actually find the door to it when you go down to the surface in the beginning, though it's unopenable) and a ton of ending material

I still consider SWG's NGE (A ridiculous acronym, coming to think of it) as one of the wores't updates ever made to a game in history

Falkirion · 06-02-09, 06:39 PM

SWG NGE sucked bawls big time. I played a 2 week trial of that poor excuse for a SW game.

That trailer kicks ass, downloaded it myself from Game Trailers yesterday.

Highbury · 06-02-09, 06:52 PM

I never even made it to NGE, I played prior to JTL but once a game decides it is going to try to be two games at once, writing is on the wall and I left. Glad I did from all the accounts I have heard of that game since.

I am glad that this one is not SOE however, and the KOTOR theme in an MMO will be outstanding.

@d@rk51d3: I have heard nothing of course but I can virtually guarantee you there will be no "free" servers. I have never seen an MMO that has pay, and free ones with anything close to the same ruleset... why would anyone pay if that were the case?

I have been beta testing this for the last few weeks (just learned the NDA lets us say we are testing, just not what we are testing lol.)

I am pretty sure I can get away with saying that if you like BioWare games like Mass Effect, and you like Star Wars then you will love this game. I have never seen such a high percentage of the testers praising a title.

I know alot of people here are not into MMOs, but if this one has been tempting you then you will probably like what you get.

11-18-11, 04:22 PM

Beta testing SWTOR myself.

There's alot of free keys out there for new testers good until 11:59 PM CST tonite.

Details are here............
