I figure there's at least some overlap between EVE players and gamers with interest in SWTOR, if for no other reason than that we don't have enough SF-themed MMORPGs.

Anyone else here watching this? I saw Nar Shaddaa was announced today, which made me giddier than probably is healthy.

[Gottii]

Yep.  I know a couple ReAw pilots I talked to said they will check it out with me.  Though I couldnt imagine staying long with it, but its certainly worth a look.

Can't wait to get into a circle with other Sith emoting something that throws out lightning and exclaim:'UNLIMITED POWER!'

[Casiella]

Don't forget to set /mood evil and /glare at everyone else in the cantina whilst dressed in black hooded robes.

Oh, wait, that's my SWG experience biting me in the ass again.

[Kaleigh Doyle]

Dunno if I have the ambition to pursue this game. I think its gonna have to stand out gameplay wise for me to take the plunge. It won't be purchased on setting alone, i'll say that much.

[Lillith Blackheart]

My prediction: It will be really awesome with a solid storyline.

Once.

Then people won't play it much anymore.

I suggest BioWare is in over their heads.

[Casiella]

I believe that you could play it thru at least 8 times, once per class, as they each have their own storylines in addition to whatever else they put into it.

The game won't turn into a lifestyle choice like EVE has, at least not for me, but a group of us at work will probably have a "Wednesday night group" or something to run dungeons or whatever together. And I have enough friends from SWG intending to play that I'll at least explore their server, assuming they don't single-shard it (which I don't expect).

I can't see SWTOR becoming as big in my life as EVE is, for two simple reasons:

1, I don't have the cash for a permanent MMO subscription. I don't make huge light of it, but I'm mostly playing EVE on ISK-bought PLEXs, and only occasionally tapping my RL money for subscription fees.

2, RL time allotment. I'm hugely in love with EVE's strategic/competative nature, as well as the tactical knowledge required to win PvP engagements. I just can't fall that much in love with an MMO that doesn't feature such, although SWTOR's addition of dynamically changing "classes" is a step in the right direction.

[Julianus Soter]

It looks like crap.

/non-constructive comment of day.

[Wanoah]

Want KOTOR 3 tbqfh.

[Ember Vykos]

Want KOTOR 3 tbqfh.

Agreed.

I heard one of the devs say in an interview that this game is KOTOR 3 through wherever they end up after expansions, but as much as I want to play it I'm not expecting much. I will definitely go through it once as a bounty hunter and maybe as a sith, but unless there's some good RP to be had I doubt Ill stay with it.
