My biggest fear. Looks like they are just slapping any old shit together to try and milk as much money from the WoW users as possible, nothing new or innovative to see so far.

I just want to try the combat system.

It has a solid storyline which has many paths, Your decisions make a signifigant change in your rewards and your abilities down the road. Multiplayer isnt THAT big a deal to me, but thats just a personal opinion. The graphics look pretty good, although not great for today's games. The different classes mix together and make good teams, such as Jedi Knight and trooper + Smuggler. Or Jedi Consulor+the Trooper/Jedi Knight because the consulor can keep every1 alive w/ the healing ability. All in all id say about 8.9/10

Oh and They said that there is no monthy Fee for it. If you want premium stuff sure u can pay. But Campaign, Co-op, and a lil multiplayer are free, and thats good enough for meh =D

Campaign? Co-op? Im sorry, you do realize this is a MMORPG right? As in....EVTH is multiplayer. AND online.

^

Premiums = OP

OP = boring

Fun = Paying to be OP

Everyone wanting to have fun = everyone being OP

Everyone being OP = no1 being OP

no1 being OP but paying for OP status = Paying

There will be a monthly fee, they just haven't decided how much it will actually be. Read the FAQ next time:) Also, there won't be any premium stuff, that would fuck up the balance of the game completely.

the gameplay looks like any other mmo.....which is NOT a good sign imo. If its like KOTOR with that sort of story then hell yeah, but otherwise no....KOTOR had crappy gameplay but I enjoyed the story too much to let it go.

by **Aragorn** Fri Nov 05, 2010 1:30 pm

How did KOTOR have crappy game play? The game play was awesome in both of those games.

by **Dray The Fingerless** Fri Nov 05, 2010 2:16 pm

It was simple, and VERY easy for a turn base gameplay. Not crappy, just simplistic and easy.

by **behalok** Fri Nov 05, 2010 2:39 pm

Wasn't a challenging game, that's true, finished both on hard with ease, but it was fun, and that's what matters.

by **Ptolemy** Fri Nov 05, 2010 2:55 pm

love KOTOR 2

Played the lightside character and left the evil ness to the DL but a great game IMHO

by **tedman324** Fri Nov 05, 2010 7:09 pm

JEDI CONSELOR VOTE OPPERTUNITY!!

Old Republic Dev Team wrote: Earlier this year, we announced the Advanced Classes System which allows you to customize your character according to your play style. We also revealed the advanced classes for the Jedi Consular: Jedi Shadow and the Jedi Wizard. Since then, we’ve been working on a new name for the ‘Jedi Wizard’ Advanced Class and have come up with three new possibilities.

Now we want to open it up to you, the fans. There's been some great feedback on class names in the past, so we're offering you the chance to help us make the final decision!

The chart below presents a high-level overview for the Jedi Consular’s advanced classes:

•Telekinetics: Ranged Damage using Force attacks, such as ‘Telekinetic Blast’ which does high damage in an ‘area-of-effect’
•Balance: Overall survivability and utility, with abilities that enhance both melee and Force attacks
•Seer: Healing and buffs using the Force, with abilities like Serenity to boost Force regeneration and reduce damage taken
There are four names to choose from: Jedi Sage, Jedi Seer, and Jedi Adept – along with the option to keep it Jedi Wizard. This poll will determine the final title that appears in game. We’ll be tallying the results from the English, French, and German communities to determine the winner. Voting ends at 5:00PM CST on Thursday, December 2nd so vote now!

We look forward to hearing from you!
