This is probably the most interesting release coming out this year from a lot of perspectives. Personally I want to play it, as a KOTOR fan. It's clearly very meaningful to EA/Bioware as well. I don't know if it's completely going to break them if it doesn't do well, but it will certainly hurt.
I just wish I could play the damn thing already.

300K subs is "great" because of its budget, but still decent even if its reasonable budget (not $100 million+). And more to the point, it has more subs than any other sub-based MMO in the West at this point (and, I think more than any worldwide).BattleMonkey said:
Can you think of another super compelling reason why people would RP?Rflagg said:

This is what the guy actually said:BattleMonkey said:
Star Wars will be enough for that.
I think you guys are really underestimating Star Wars.
When I said:
1 million subs
So, put two and two together. Does Star Wars guarantee your game 1 million subs, Y/N

Yo, fellow bored mofos, Agent footage, from the new build :O. But no HD.
IA stealthing through a mission on Alderaan, at lvl 28 or so. May be the highest level we've seen yet.
This guy was showing off, sleep darting people mid-air haha.

All you need to do is take stroll into Goldshire on Moon Guard to see the horror.
Like I said I never tried it, but I would think people in the world exist that want to truly play as their character when they log in, and as much as possible treat it as a world of swords and sorcery or sci-fi or whatever.FieryBalrog said:

To a certain degree that is basically what you do. Of course there are the ERPers but they stay away from the crowded areas mostly. During my two or three years on a RP server in WoW I only ran into Elf orgies or stuff like that twice or three times. I am not that big on roleplaying myself, but I have found that RP servers usually have friendlier communities than regular servers.
Nice vid btw.

Ah ... well, for the RP'ers I guess that sucks (and I have nothing against them) but when all is said and done it's a very small part of the game. But then again if it's so small why not include it heh.
Does seem weird to have "no" interaction with the environment besides quest objects though.

What? That IA footage looked really lame. Skipping every mob to get your quest done, way to ruin the game, lol. But I guess that's how alot of rogue-type classes play. Good thing I won't roll a stealth class. =P

They get to see content faster, but they level slower doing that. Dude probably ends up grinding out XP somewhere instead of getting it naturally. He's not only missing the XP from mobs, but all the bonus quests that pop up in the area he's in.
But cool that you can "rogue" it.

Regarding end game stuff:
Q: The Legacy races, are you able to change your race to one of them once you max level? Could I level a human to fifty and change to a Chagrian once I've unlocked that race?
Are there any Q/A's that have more information as to what these are?

Ruin? more like "make way more amazing".EhrgeizVII said:
Got an invite to the beta last night. I started the download this afternoon and man I'm glad I don't have any bandwidth caps, this thing is huge. It sort of feels like the old days on 56k waiting all night for a big file to download. Currently at 5 gigs left on English Assets 1 dl.

I'm confused: creepy ERP aside, is role-playing somehow more nerdy than the ongoing raid treadmill most hardcore MMO players partake in? :lol
Nice vid for the IA, btw. Good to know that the option is there for those who want to rogue it.

Social interaction beyond "LF tank/dps/heals, pst"? ZOMG! One can practically smell the RP sex in this example.
At any rate, I'm of the mindset that options are a good thing. Core game systems should take precedence, but "fluff" interactions do add a lot of flavor to the world. I rarely came across any RPers on my old WoW realm, but you'd better believe I still saw plenty of goofing around with sittable chairs, paper zeppelin toys, remote control tonks, etc.

The font for that date makes the whole thing fake.
