Old Republic, please save me soon...

I can't wait for a game with a population and new content to save me from this...

Well unless you have tried every MMO on the market (not saying you have not, cuz I certainly have tried almost all of them LOL)..

But you can always sub up to a new game or a f2p (like say LotR or EQII that doesn't limit you as much in F2p ways..esp EQII) while waiting on SW:TOR. EQII even has a holiday going on right now you can play around in. (Other games do too, just saying..)

Cuz if you havent played those - that is "new content and population"

Otherwise yup me and guildies from WoW waiting on SW:TOR as well...until then..WoW and Skyrium will tide me over....

Eh. Coming from SWG, I'm keeping this one with a pole in between us.

On one hand, OMG Bioware MMO! On the other you have an overused, seriously screwed up franchise. I hope Bioware gives us some nice mechanics to play with to offset that.

Truthfully and honestly there's been dozens of MMOs released in the past 4 years that were supposed to be the 'next biggest thing' only to peter out within a year.

No SE for me this time. I'm getting tired of hopping onto new games and paying a yearly fee because it's truck tons cheaper. After all, my friends are ravenous over this game only to have me be the last man standing outside of five months.

[Frith-Rae]

LOL paying the yearly fee isnt truck tons cheaper if yoou dont know if you are staying for the year that is for sure!

I would never do that sight-unseen.

New MMO comes out, I play for the free month and THEN decide - another 1 month or maybe 3 at the most. Cuz you are right that everyone and your brother jumps on the bandwagon and then within 3 months you know who is REALLY going to stay.

SW:TOR does have the oompf to really change a few dynamics just by wht they are attempting. Not saying its going to be the end-all-be-all of MMOs (cuz it wont be) but I do think that it will be successful enough to influence the next batch of MMOs after it - whicih wouuld be good thing .

Me, Bioware usually does good stuff - and even if the game doesnt keep me that long Iim sure the solo-questing will be fun for at least a couple months. Perhaps it wil be a distraction game I play when I get burned out on WoW for a little break (what EQII is now for me - I sub up maybe 2-3 months a year total and just dabble for weekend breaks off WoW).

Its always nice to hve side-games you cn start up, do a bit in, and then leave for awhile if nothing else.

And they are bringing a few new mechanics to experiment with which like I said, is always good for the future of the genre.

But like I said - Skyrium will do till then (and beyond until the next ES chapter lol), and then if SW:TOR falls through I can always try Secret World then (set to release 4/12 but..prolly be pushed back again lol) for something a bit different.

There are always options .

Not particularly sure why this was moved since the just ranting section says:

Just Ranting
It's not about Istaria, but you need to rant anyway.

and this WAS a rant, but oh well...

I'm unfortunately not a game bouncer and have only played two MMO's for the past 7 or so years. This one and SWG. I like to get in on them from the beginning and stick to em, lol. So TOR it is for me...

[rizo/nawkia]

Ill give SO:TOR a try but I think Ill be comming bck here more often than not For now its skyrim and digimon masters

[Ahael]

Hmm, yet another 'flavor of the month' game. Also, if the game has too many players, it tends to make the community quite... toxic and hostile. I think I'll pass this one.
