A game about playing yourself playing a game. OMG, are we down two levels? Or three?
I just wish they would tell us already. I've had my fun with Warcraft 3 months after every expansion... I just need a new MMO. :P

Oh really? /sigh
If it's a brand new franchise, I wonder how it WILL hold up to a game like SW:TOR with it's 30+ years of lore. Now the big question is whether this is fantasy based or sci-fi based (or in the middle ground).
What if it was like World of Nerdcraft. You basically play as a nerd and level up your nerd into a super nerd. Your "armor" will be how nerdy or nerdish your clothes are. Your weapons start off like a calculator and progress to super computers. Raids will be just "internet raids" that anon does themselves. You level up by either scoring with the opposite sex (or by pissing it off, this is a light side/dark side options kind of game).
Wait a minute... isn't that like real life for nerds? XD

Excuse me? I would beg to differ. Then again, I won't even bother trying to ask why you are under that wildly untrue impression or or even care why...

im just saying there are tons of games that do better then starwars games, 95% of them dont need a movie from 30+ years ago for a story basis to succeed. If you want to go find sales of every starwars game out there and every game in similar categories that was on sale at the same time that did better you would find it to be quite the large list.
Or hell even looking at all of the blizzard franchises, they dont need 30 years of lore and story to sell like crack and be good.
Especially since tor isnt out yet and games in the MMO genres tend to rely on longevity/sub count as oppose to initial sales.

Hahahahahaha, omg I can't stop laughing but it hurts so good.
This is coming from someone who hates all those games that sell better than Star Wars. Guess what? There are a ton of Star Wars fans out there. People like that Universe... but you think sales numbers correlates to good games. I beg to differ. Halo 2 had like 8 million some on sales, right? Yet everyone bitched about the story and how it wasn't on earth whatsoever... but only sold so well because it was Xbox Live enabled. Let's look at CoD... the storyline kept on getting shorter and shorter. Let's look at Blizz's games... oh, same monsters with different skins (*cough*BC*couch*)... just because a game sells well DOES NOT make it a great game.
But let's get back to the topic at hand. Longevity in an MMO... You know how Blizzard keeps you addicted to WoW? It's very easy and plainly simple. Instead of getting your armor at the end of a raid or instance... they give you badges that you have to collect (by redoing said raids/instances) until you have enough to claim your reward/piece of armor. That's just doing the same thing over and over again... how is that fun or even remotely game like (sounds like work to me)? Yeah, I enjoyed leveling in WoW, I even enjoyed raids. But after accomplishing everything that was needed to be done... there was no point to play the game anymore. With a Star Wars MMO, I will at least CARE about the world that is going on around me instead of some cliche fantasy setting (which is just WoW). So you argue "Well you can re-roll why you wait for raids"... re-roll and level the exact same areas I just spent 4-6 weeks leveling in? At least with TOR they have story added in there and every class has different quests (which actually is more exciting while waiting for weekly raids). You might say "Yeah? What happens when you played all the classes' stories?" Guess what, there are 8 more classes that Bioware plan to release after launch in either expansion pack(s) or major updates.
MMOs for me (Rift, WoW, AoC, Aion, Runes of Magic) have gotten stale for me. Same thing(s) you have to do over and over again until you hit level cap... then you do endgame content which is more of the same as in leveling (except you don't level). It's all really boring (and Eve Online is a brutal universe to play in). 30+ years of lore may not mean much to you. But when you have watched the movies, read a lot of the books (havn't gotten to all of them yet), watched the animated series, read some of the GREAT graphic novels/comic books, and play some of the best games (Rogue Squadron, Galactic Battlegrounds, KotOR 1&2... hell I even loved Star Wars Episode III The Game. Just because other games sell better, once again, does not make it a better game. It only means people flock to the games that other people buy. The reason I'm excited for TOR and why I'm going to compare it to Titan... is because it's Star Wars.
