sorry but i have to. They aren't really star destroyers when this is set thousands of years before the term was coined. They are merely the same general design (im assuming) of the star destroyers and republic cruisers from the the clone wars, and i think by rebels he means republic and imperial he means sith

Since the WoW addiction I vowed no more MMO's until the KotOR MMO. I am happy that this looks like it was a good decision.

darthpat, give him a break. im sure he was just giddy when he wrote this. i was giddy after reading it, so i cant blame him. oh, and i wholeheartedly agree doctalen.

It could be a hard choice between AOIN and this one. The only thing that holds me back from Star Wars is.. well, we pretty much already know everything there is to know about the history, so nostalgia may not be enough to hold my attention. I will wait for other opinions and probably GR review of the acutal game before I decide to get it.

Only Bioware could get me interested in an MMO. That too a Star Wars one.

Can. Not. Wait. You know the phrase,"I'd sell my left nut.." Well, I think I'll just meet everyone at the auction house.

I can't wait for this game, it's going to own any other MMO out there hands down.

I don't care for MMO's, but I'm definitely giving this one a shot.

I am completely excited and going nuts until I read the last paragraph of this article. If they got some people from SOE then I am now nervous. SOE has already destroyed Star Wars Galaxies making it the fastest abandonment of a game that I have ever witnessed. It went from millions of players world-wide to ghost town at the rate of lightspeed! Please don't let them install that class crap they did, keep the options open and allow the players to build a char as they see fit and not the way someone else feels it should be. I hope you got the good ones from SOE that had a great game before they screwed it up. Looking forward to seeing it for myself.

yeah joe f ugly, thanks for stealing CAD's joke!


other than that... MAG, and THIS mmo seem the most likely culprits of my renewed lack of social interaction for the next couple of years.

Finally an mmo based in the Star Wars universe!!! I don't think that I am the only one who has been waiting on one of these, and I truly hope that the story is as deep as they say. Either way, just about any mmo is a wow-killer for me, I have played wow, and it really did not hook me, I prefer a game with a story, and wow did not deliver enough of that for my taste.

Why would they do this to me? I start college this fall and now this of all games has to come out. Does anybody realize how hard it will be to balance a social life, college courses, and a game like this. DAMN YOU BIOWARE!!!

Haha but I really am looking forward to this and if the story is half as good as kotor it will be the greatest MMO ever. Fuck WOW.

Oh and games radar why is my secret word so damn long :laborintensive outages? ROFL
