Exclusive: Star Wars the Old Republic

[Spookyashell76]

LOL, all lies!

[protodaddy867]

I registered my pre order so now I'm going to get the game earlier and get to change the color of my weapons!!

[MrGkid5000]

@protodaddy867 only certain weapons you can't change color of faction weapons such as your jedi/sith saber or your empire or republic blaster.

[Attero93]

Is it just I who think it sounds like the Sith are the good guys and the Jedi are the ones that are arrogant and sitting on their fat asses bathing in past glory? I'll probably make a sith just because I think the Jedi seems like assholes and the Sith seems like the real good guys.

[LaughOutLoud1111100]

this better not be like WOW u have to play to play

[TheSmurfInator99]

is this star wars going to be an rpg ?

[TyTaxiCab]

@TheSmurfInator99 Its mainly an rpg. Its basically KOTOR 3 except with an mmo community and abilities.

[AdvancedMarshall]

LOL @ the begginning i though he said " my name is todd nippels"

[J4R16B94]

bioware storytelling + good storyline? yes please

[youthgw]

new best mmo ever!! SWTOR!!!

[iKhicken]

Its this monthly subscription like WoW or do u just pay 100 bux and boom here we go.

[chucknorrisgawd]

Hutta is an industrial wasteland with totally toxic fumes and gases and pools of crap all over the world, it just looks gross....lol

[pathosbedlam]

Two Words for ya mate, "Can't Wait". Sure that was nineteen words all up, but what the hell. LOL.

[gregolol777]

is it gonna be free??? or monthly pay???

[MoNeyManEdiNa]

@gregolol777 monhly pay or i think they mgight have alifetime 1 price, for star trek omlinne it was 200$

[ADITAO1]

why not in a console ?

[MMOTotal]

@ADITAO1 because the consoles cannot run a game of this magnitude

[ADITAO1]

@MMOTotal what magnitude? its an awsome game is that what you mean,because thta game doesnt have too much graphics i think a console could have it, the thing is that bioware... YOU know i think its been selfish of their part of not putting this game in consoles because any console could run this game and if not then prove that the consoles can run this games!

[MMOTotal]

@ADITAO1 you are mistaken - this game supports over 600 (at least) on the same server playing at the same time - now put that into perspective - 32 player ground war (COD) - ye... and also the controls - MMO = KEYBOARD AND MOUSE - no exceptions

[kkoloftt]

give us some goddamn single player! >:(

[SuperOnurcan]

bet this game would of been out if they didn't waste time on the aswome trailers

[xSOV1ETx]

some one please give me the required specs for this game

[chucknorrisgawd]

@xSOV1ETx they arent out yet...but my guess would be if you can play wow you can play this.

[thomasmovesinc]

is it coming to macs

[MMOTotal]

@thomasmovesinc possibly later, at least we have bootcamp do install windows, but that is all that windows will be used for, to play this.

[ZsubzeroheroZ]

whens this being released?????

i was a huge knights of the old republic fan!

n im excited for this

lol

[MrStevenFraser]

@ZsubzeroheroZ

Incase you havent found out already. It will be released in late 2011. Probally around 1-10th December.

[Cryten1974]

@ZsubzeroheroZ SWTOR released 20th December 2011 in America and 22nd December in Europe

[GreyPerspective]

Being a console player, I wouldn't want the online aspect, just the quests, and main story lines.

[Jugaxp]

I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT

[Lieu3C4]

Will there be Inter-Guild co-operation so that smaller guilds can ally with the larger rather than having to be absorbed, often resulting in subordination and in-game abuse or neglect of other players not favoured of the hierarchy, in order to access high-end content? Other than that, or at least for now, I can still (ie. have to) wait. Looks good.

[puenboy1]

Oh, your opinion? Oh of course, I care about your opinion. Right everyone? *silence*

[TwilekDealer]

the pc strikes back :P

[EvilFriedBacon]

fu reach

[aranax69]

this game better not suck!

[sonic619760]

Living in the star wars universe would be awesome

[superjosephmario]

@sonic619760 heck yeah it would

[samueltorres83]

@sonic619760 did your remember Star Wars Galaxies? Not so awesome...

[zadomoon]

@samueltorres83 remember that this time sw comes from bioware... i think not compareable to the "old" swg crap. soe is also crap. bioware got real good jobs on rpg's so i think if the mmo part of the game is not like in star trek online, then it can only be good. we will see it.

[TheMetalKid9]

@sonic619760 Been my dream since my childhood.

[zenoparodie]

@sonic619760 well, the star wars story dosent say their in another universe, just in another galaxy

and since ours is a 100 billion galaxy universe, for how insane this might sound, there could be one like the star wars one :D

[mrjawa100]

i dont wanna play as a force user they suck, im being a bounty hunter

[jackflack1516]

@mrjawa100 If you get time could you elaborate as to why cause I really want One Character on each side and NO MORE I got burned out on WoW with to many chrs, questing became same ol same ol, grouping with smart mouth kids ect. The only thing that concerns me about bounty hunters is they seem more gear dependant-this could be a pluss if better gear actualy provides more abilities-I doubt they will do it that way-prob tech tree..again. I was kinda leaning towards Sith Inquisitor to hang back abit

[jackflack1516]

@jackflack1516 My reason is my reaction is like a drunken monkey so I do good with "caster types" I think. But damnit there classes all look good so far lol whatever my 2 is-one on each side-I'll have to tough it out if I want them both to reach thier full potential.

[nigeljackson59]

Dont let julio torres help you

[iTzxXPuRrZ]

Is Dantooine gonna be in this?

[Jctrynr]

Kick ass raids pvp and HK-47 what else would a person need in an mmo?

[atosafi1]

Man, this will be epic.

I hope we get to actually witness conflicts and go through them

Like if the Empire invades say Coruscant we get to be there :D

[peri2502]

Two good things about this game:

- we finally get a story driven MMO!!!

- It's Star Wars!!!

Two bad things:

- I hate cartoony graphics!

- A huge deal of the WoW crowd will move over...and WoW has the worst, rudest and immature community I have ever seen in seen in any MMO!

[sonic619760]

@peri2502 As for the WoW crowd, i think it depends on who likes star wars. I wouldnt see why u would put money towards this game if u dont like star wars lol. Just my view on it anyways.

[Phatal1011]

Only thing I'm worried about is lack of player-player interaction: 'Every single class has its own story which is totally unique.'

A set story for each class, as opposed to more of a sandbox game? Thoughts.

[Squiglypig]

@Phatal1011 Well, in WoW there's class-specific questlines, I'm thinking that they're talking about the same thing.

[johnnylawification]

i am so f@#$ happy that wow is goig to die! omfg... i hate that f@#$ing game so f!#$ing much!!1

[Atremious]

Yes it will be a Pay to Play. Yes it's only on Computer. No, it won't kill World of Warcraft, however one of the head designers of WoW has said that if Bioware does as good a job on this as they usually do on their games, WoW will have proper competition. It doesn't mean WoW will die off. It just means it should do well.

[Jerryk1985]

lol to the wow killer comment, nothing is going to kill that damn game I'm sorry

[Idunhavanamez]

@Jerryk1985 Actually Blizzard is slowly killing the game by making the game a joke and soon everyone will quit for another MMO unless Blizzard stop acting like money hungry developers. Only reason why WoW have so many players atm is because there are no other MMOs to play.

[peri2502]

@Jerryk1985 That's actually a good thing. Let WoW players stay where they are. 80% of them are really obnoxious. Not saying that there are decent people there as well, but when I gave WoW a shot, people were really hostile

[Kelon123]

HK-47 ^_^

[gaara466]

@Kelon123 Thats not HK-47 thats probably like a HK-80 by that time

[atosafi1]

@gaara466

The guy in the interview said HK-47

[gaara466]

@atosafi1 No I ment since its almost 4000 years later there would be way higher HK levels other then 50's

[dilexusmaximus14]

@gaara466 it's not 4000 years later it's only 300

[silentcircusfans]

its good i have a computer am i right!

[Razzjackaz]

is this for the pc?

[spaceface31]

@Razzjackaz Yes

[Leon01287]

Is Star Wars The old republic going to be a pay to play game? Someone please answer these.

[diecaste123]

i may be a good guy for all my RPG's but for star wars, im always sith...

[Argrul]

@diecaste123 so right so right :) evils allways good in star wars =)

[ichisakon]

if any ine knows if this will be free online play please tell me and if it will be for ps3

[A7C11]

Can't wait for this game!!

[ThefirstDrInsane2U]

is it out yet

[5uckRogers]

I rather play simple roleplaying than mmo, i hate the fact that after u get killed u simply get respawned, even with malus effects. The only game that make up for it is Diablo with its hardcore mode. If im dead im dead and thats it, i dont expect TOR to have such a mode. If u can die and remain dead u play it more intensly with lot more care instead of running around like a headless chicken.

[chidorimaster101]

lmao I love the LucasArts interviews for TOR, they release so much more info and act like badasses even though Bioware tells them not to! XD

[linkinfan12]

When I get this I am going to continuously raid auto P.V.P areas (if there are any) and DESTROY YOU ALL!

[Rezombified]

i like the lightsaber at the beginning beats using a crappy vibroblade that you start out with in knights of the old republic.

[Lichbane1]

15 a month isnt that crazy for a game thats graphics and storyline is sound. All the other games with loads of expansions should have lowered their rates because of how boring things get

[Carnagexwest]

i love h people think this will b on any consoles.....Computer only !!@@@@

[Rev2k010]

@Carnagexwest yeah there retarded.

[cptmuska]

@Carnagexwest i wouldn't it to be for console

[MrGrakkus]

@Carnagexwest haha suck it, suck it, suck it PC nr1!

[ThatkidEvo1]

@Carnagexwest and xbox 360 and ps3

[MDmerc1]

i have a feeling that this is just going to be another online game that you have to pay fifteen bucks a month to play.

if they have the "force sensitive character" system like galaxies, the game should be good

and not to mention the space experience he brefily talked about

i just hope that you can play on the x-box 360 and use the x-box live for online play.

and they better make it cheaper than $15 a month or im not buying. make it like $5 a month so everyone can play.

[drobekAgangrel]

@MDmerc1

ofc its going to be 15....if u want the fame that will be updated frequently,u need to pay more than 5 bucks,otherwise u cant expect the game to be good in the future.....most people dont have problem with it...save 50 cents per day,that cant be that big issue mate

[POOPtard69]

@MDmerc1 A mere 5$ isn't going to keep a good game up if your to cheap to pay 15$ then its your loss.

[Krowkie]

@MDmerc1 maybe they should make a class called MDmerc aswell? sure you'll buy it then, they're brainstorming on it now.

[SirSexyAlot]

@MDmerc1 Are you fucking retarded? You expect it to be on Xbox, and to be 5 dollars a month? Oh yes, let's just make the game REALLY shit just so you can play it!

5 dollars a month = You would need about 5x the players to make up for it not being 15$ (Yes, not 3, as you would have a lot more players meaning more servers, more customer support and such)

[SirSexyAlot]

@MDmerc1

And let's make the game REALLY shitty, give it shit graphics, no depth and put it on Xbox!

While we're at it, let's put our face in a food blender! Since MDmerc1 is obviously having a stupid-day today!

[linkinfan12]

@SirSexyAlot I agree it would most definitely be a terrible game on the console. Besides I am waiting for dragon age origins 2 anyway, it will be so awesome.

[sonic619760]

@MDmerc1 this will never go on consols, didnt u see all those places u can go to? xbox360/ps3 wouldnt be able to handel it. Plus if this game is good as it seems to be, theres nothing wrong with paying 15 bucks for. Just my opinion of course

[assassinx20]

This better not be another galaxies I swear I will eat yodas balls if it is

[Rev2k010]

@assassinx20 its not

[assassinx20]

This knights 3 lol just since it's N mmo it goes under a variated name.

[RiotRazer]

Ok seriously. Why the heck did they not make knights 3!

[xpd15]

@RiotRazer the devs said that the old republic mmo has enough content to call this knights 3,4,5,6,7,8,9 !

[RiotRazer]

@xpd15 But it's not the content i'm worried about. It's the continuation of the story

[starkiller70]

YEA!!! HK 47!!! you organic meatbags =)

[MissVidster]

Do you think this game will run ok on my computer if world of Warcraft does or better

[Rev2k010]

@MissVidster yes

[Mackftm]

Well if this game uses instancing like AOC and STO I certainly won't be buying it.

[GodschildJCE]

@Mackftm exactly,thats what killed it in sto i was so excited about it too,but instancing is an mmo killer =/

[Rev2k010]

@GodschildJCE what killed sto was it was made by dipshits (crytpic)

[nirvanaman95]

i will kill my self if my charicter doesnt get the name revan or malak

[Dashierez]

@nirvanaman95 why? Because you can't be bothered to actually think up one of your own you think the naming filter will let you steal an existing character's name?

[MrPikkis]

@nirvanaman95 Both Revan ànd Malak are fags. I would rather kill myself if i was forced to have one of those names :P

[FoliFF93]

I start to think that WoW will have some problems now:D SWMMO, lord of the rings, warhammer. I think the 11miljion people in WoW will drop pretty much:P

[left4deadzombiessss]

woo bounty hunter

[gmmg93]

i hope they have space traveling, i think they will......i hope

[dvdhny]

@gmmg93

They won't.

[superslayer22]

YES HK47 is the shit

[hock105]

is this just for computer or is it coming out on ps3 and xbox?

[crud1000]

PC & MAC

[left4deadzombiessss]

screw them I wil only play mmorpg's on pc leave ps3 and xbox for other games

[PrivetCyan]

@left4deadzombiessss fuck that this game is gana suck the cut scenes look awsome same with the story but its a MMO so its gana be crap

[ransac16]

@PrivetCyan ok, first of all, shut your computer off before you end up hurting yourself. MMO's are not set to fail the moment they start you know, WoW had a pretty good run, mostly due to people enjoying the lore from the Warcraft series. Well Star Wars has ALOT more history and fans to work with, and I doubt George Lucas would approve this unless he was watching it very carefully.

[PrivetCyan]

@ransac16 what about the last indiana jones moive Lucas is getn old im just sayn the story and cutscences look awsome but its gana fail cuz its a mmo... i never said that mmo's suck or fail the second they come out but some things just arent ment to be mmo's WoW prob not one of them star wars is... a light saber is suppose to cut people in half not just damage them... and no matter what you say the game is still gana suck iv seen gamplay its crap... so you can go buy it ill be playn haloreach =)

[Jezaib]

@PrivetCyan

HATERS

GONNA

HATE

Also, they'd have trouble selling the game if they included dismemberment; that would get it an "M" rating straight off.

[james501001]

@PrivetCyan nah the gameplay is like that in all mmo's. u just have to like the kind of combat rpgs offer. if u prefer more action like god of war then its ur choice but u cant critisize gameplay of another genre of game

[mondose2]

@PrivetCyan lmfao you really think anyone cares what some xbl halo reach playing faggot thinks? stick to your console games cause no one gives a shit about your opinion on mmos

[PrivetCyan]

@mondose2 just cuz i play xbox doesnt mean i havent tried mmo's go get the old republic i could care less... and by the way the computer game age is dead everyones playing fps on a ps3 or 360 so go do ur gay quests and adventures u nerd

[Jagoss312]

@PrivetCyan

Aah yes the verbal ability and maturity of a Console FPS player :)

[psuDeatharrows1]

@Jagoss312 Indeed, lmao.

[thomasmovesinc]

@left4deadzombiessss ya



[riv864]

GIVE IT TO ME NOW!!!

[necko115]

I cant wait to get this, it's going to be amazing no doubt one of the greatest MMO's out there...WOW will finally get some real competition :)

[TurKlack]

WoW is chickenshit. SWToR and Aion are generations better.

[SILLONOH]

sry to all yall star wars fans but this game lookes like its gona be poop. stinky poop with corn in it

[Shadowboy1309]

maybe but on pc its better because its an mmo^^. awesome game

[FatBoyDead2012]

[Daulrayous]

yesssssss WE GET SHIPS IM SO HAPPY :)

[hito98]

Well they released the Sith + jedi class now in the holonet, plus they introduced Imperial Operative class which is similar to spies i guess.

[pinc8387]

[sanman312]

pinc8387, she's a man

[Dfrost246]

[Commandaunt]

@Krypto282 Wut?

[Krypto282]

[nelcomar]

2 words. wow killer

[Anime4Life35]

Bounty Hunters are going to pwn all

[GreenFlamingoman821]

Hmmm.

Shiny lightsabers, things that go pew pew pew pew pa pewpewpew, and more words than one can handle.

Awesome

[ianguage]

"We have the Bounty Hunter, and they fly around with their little Jet Packs and lasers going "pew pew" all over the screen. The Smugglers run around and hide behind crap a lot. And then we have the Republic Troopers... who are..... well... they're badasses with lots of big guns!"

HAHA - I wonder which one is his favorite!

[talagapinoy]

I'm really torn between Jedi/Sith OR Smuggler.

[streetdanceboy117]

Cooooolllllll

[abarreloflols]

as long as there are Rancore

and pets would be nice

[jimPK514]

[swassking]

[swassking]

[Hammerheadiii]

IMO this sucks...

[TheCasualAssassin]

The Sith Pwn...Enough Said.

[stargroove4]

Sounded kewl until he started prattling on about economy, dancing etc sound like another galaxies. Hurry up and release this crap so the world gets closer to Battlefront 3.

[siosword]

A MAN

[battlingbruin72]

NEED IT! ima a jock nerd and fuckin proud!

[StopCallingMeSteveo]

Holy shit was that HK-47?

[blaleep3]

[a7xboy18]

yeah i cant wait for this game!

yeah ima jedi nerd

cant wait! CANT WAIT!!!!!!

[konradfat]

Sith all the way

[joshdaugherty1111]

sounds like it'd be a fun alternative to WoW -- especially if u like starwarzz

[dannydude17]

So fun! I want the game!

P.S. It's the Jedi Civil War!

[Itachiskillninja]

what about Hoth?

[Lickensiedicken]

A barren planet with no vegetation until the republic decided to place their hidden base there. Obvious reason why the did it is obvious. Cant see it being in the actual game.

[Reghedable]

This is pretty awesome... Just pretty sure everyone will roll a sith lord and we'll have early WoW in the reverse.

[chstens]

I'm not so sure, Star Wars fans are diverse.

[Hanning11]

Theres alot of early jedi guilds already :) Im part of one The republic vanguard

[mankyman6]

I'm going to play the game with the decisions I would make in real life. I'm going to be a Jedi and destroy the Sith so they will learn that their puny little Sith lightning doesn't make them unstoppable!

[sywolf64]

you live in your moms basement dont you...

[mankyman6]

No... I try and make games as realistic of an experience as possible, is that a problem?

[sywolf64]

nah, its okay, just trying to be funny

[mankyman6]

Ah, no harm to foul then. :P

[siosword]

mankyman6 YOUR  FUNNY

[blingblingbloodtroop]

thats when i come in as a sith with my force storms, see u online ;)

[rey4every]

dude why tease us fuckers
