[ Outline ] · Standard · Linear+ Our Ressurection?

[*HAMSTAR*]

Let's hope so. There is a new MMORPG that was officially announced a few weeks back called Star Wars: The Old Republic. Hopefully it will turn out better than Galaxies. Although it won't be out for atleast a couple of more years I am anxious to see the outcome. If you all are still frequenting the boards in that time I am really hoping we might be able to reunite in game and start up again.

It will be a different type of game sure. But as much as we socialize an MMO seems to be what we are geared for. A star wars one no less can only ensure it!!! So here's hoping to a game to finally push us all out of the shadows and back into the club again! http://www.swtor.com/

So far I find it enjoyable. It really doesn't separate it self from other MMORPG's I've played. But I really didn't expect it to. It's definitely fun, and nice to be in the Star Wars universe again. They came out with a new build for the beta so my characters were wiped. I've started another.

My main complaint is so far most of the worlds you visit are very linear. I might not have gotten far enough in the game to reach a more open area. I think you get your first speeder mount around level 22 which I haven't reached so hopefully when I get that the higher level areas will have bigger areas to explore.

They did add a nice feature for those who prefer to explore rather than pvp, quest, or run dungeons all the time. In very hard to reach areas in the game there are holocrons hidden. I've managed to find a handful while I quest. Some are in plain sight but usually it takes a little more thinking to figure out how to reach them. They give you a permanent slight boost to a specific stat (strength, health, etc.) depending on the holocron you find, but not a ridiculous amount that would make you overpowered compared to other players.
