  • The Making of Tython Video Release: Woah 0 CommentsPosted by Jacob on January 31, 2009 under General TOR
    So, I am not typically so excited about video because all it does is tease me and make me want to have the actual game out. But, when I came across this video that was just released last night, I nearly choked. This game looks remarkable! The game has tremendous quality to it and watching some of the game play take place, I can say that it looks so much better than WoW. I played WoW for a little w... more.
  • Awesome Promotional Video From The Exodus Syndicate 0 CommentsPosted by Chris on under Fan Content, General TOR
    While browsing youtube the other day, I stumbled on this video created by the sith guild, The Exodus Syndicate as a means of promotion and recruitment.  The video is very well done with action packed and choreographed lightsaber fights.  Combine that with flawless special effects and realistic sets and costumes, and you get this fantastic display of Star Wars tribute.  As an aspiring film ... more.
  • “May The Force Be With You” 0 CommentsPosted by Chris on January 27, 2009 under General TOR, Predictions and Opinion
    When I look back on the Star Wars films that have been released, I can think of only one instance where a man with a blaster singlehandedly takes out a Jedi, and that is when Jango Fett shot and killed Jedi Council Member, Coleman Trebor in Star Wars Episode II:  Attack of the Clones, shortly before being beheaded by Mace Windu.  Even then, Fett shot Trebor while he was distracted with Cout... more.
  • Stay Away From Microtransactions, Bioware 0 CommentsPosted by Jacob on January 26, 2009 under General TOR, Predictions and Opinion
    When the game was announced, there were whispers that went through the grapevine about what the payment structure was going to be. Would you be paying a flat $15.00 a month fee like you have to do when you play WoW? Or, would there be the dreaded microtransaction that allowed for you to play for free, but as you got more and more serious and wanted to get more gear and the such, you had to start... more.

  • Star Wars Galaxies: What Aspects Should NOT be Included in TOR? 0 CommentsPosted by Chris on January 22, 2009 under General TOR, Predictions and Opinion
    Although to this day I still consider Star Wars Galaxies as I remember it to be the greatest game I've ever played, it was not without its flaws. Some of them were large while others were hardly noticable. In continuation of my previous article, "Star Wars Galaxies: What Aspects Should be Included in TOR?" I have assembled a list of aspects of SWG that I pray do not make it into TOR. 1.Ignori... more.
  • Can Bioware Pull it Off? 0 CommentsPosted by Chris on January 13, 2009 under General TOR, Predictions and Opinion
    I understand that in an MMORPG you need a rich and compelling story to keep the players in the world, and there is no better example of that than the Star Wars universe, but as excited as I am about Bioware's upcoming MMO, I find myself concerned about their approach to character inetaction and how it affects story. I understand that Bioware's track record doesn't fail them in regards to char... more.

  • “Punch it, Chewie” 0 CommentsPosted by Jacob on January 12, 2009 under General TOR, Predictions and Opinion
    I can remember the very first time I watched a Star Wars movie. I was probably six years old and I sat there, enamored with the VHS running, enjoying the opening credits. I think I was able to read the words and then suddenly, the Tantive IV (CR90 corvette for you nerds) flew across the screen with her green lasers shooting at the Devastator, the Imperial Star Destroyer chasing it. I was amazed at... more.
  • Give Me a Story Based Theme Park Any Day 0 CommentsPosted by Jacob on under General TOR, Predictions and Opinion
    When we look at MMOs, there are typically two different set ups to them. The first is a “theme park” set up which is where you follow a very strict guide line (going from quest to quest) and that’s that. These type of MMOs typically are easier to play and don’t require as much time devoted to your character. A “sandbox” set up is where you have a lot of freewill and can do more of wh... more.
