bzarcherWell, I'm doomed.
My boss's SWG stories have finally gotten to me, overwhelming me today with a story of a massive Imperial assault on all 3 major Rebel bases in the Radiant galaxy, and how his guild was involved in stopping 2 of the thrusts cold.
I'm giving in. When my refund deposit clears, I'm going to go get a copy and sign up for Star Wars: Galaxies, and I'm so fucking doomed.

Apparently, gameplay wise, it's a stinker.

Date: 2004-02-09 11:41 am (UTC)I've done a lot of MMORPG'ing, and I will say this: Unless you a) are good at making friends in MMORPGS(not the same as in a MUSH), or b) already have friends playing who will group with you, then an MMORPG is going to quickly become dull and repetitive, no matter how good it is.
Add the fact that my understanding is that a number of people have left SWG for greener pastures, and it really comes down to these people singing it's praises - will they be there for you?
On a side note, I plan on getting WoW when it comes out, and I'd love having a game buddy.

Date: 2004-02-09 01:46 pm (UTC)When you play an MMORPG, make sure you have a lot of friends, or you'll quickly get bored.
I, sadly, am more of a solo person in those games because:
1) I refuse to associate with uberl33td00ds.
2) NOBODY ROLEPLAYS.
This is why I went to MUSHing. The pretty statbuilder MUD that MMORPGs consist of are an amusing diversion.

Re:
Date: 2004-02-09 02:38 pm (UTC)..But seriously.. I do both, and some days I just feel like one or the other. But there's very little RP going on in an MMOG, which is why I usually drop the 'RP' out of the acronym when I'm talking about them. Not to metion that, for the sake of RP, you would really, really be injuring yourself in the long run if you want to actually get anywhere in the game (this holds true for most MMOGs, I've found) also doesn't help.

I hat MMORPGs
Date: 2004-02-09 06:07 pm (UTC)Anyway, I never could give that much of my time to MMORPGs. Not after spending 3.5 years of my life working on one.

It should be deep into open beta by now.
