| _________________________________ [Jul 20,2010 3:48pm - oscarct ""] Didnt this game release many years ago? |
| _________________________________ [Jul 20,2010 3:49pm - reimroc ""] You're thinking of Knights of the Old Republic a single player RPG made by the same company Bioware. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 20,2010 3:50pm - c.dEAd ""] Post how it is as well. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 20,2010 3:53pm - reimroc ""] Well I can say just from reasearch that I'm probably going to start off with a Jedi Consular. The buff/mage type class republic. Fuckwin abilities such as: - Force Pull - Draws an opponent closer - Force Push - pushes an opponent away and knocks down - Force Slam - Lifts an opponent into the air and slams him then into the ground - Force Wave - 360 degree arc attack - Meditation - Out of combat self heal abilty - Mind Maze - CC ability - Power Saber - Lightsaber attacks against multiple opponents - Saber Flurry - Three lightsaber attacks against a single target - Saber Thrust - Powerful lightsaber attack against a single target |

| ________________________________________ [Jul 20,2010 4:19pm - AndrewBastard ""] i wish my xbox was live...id be all over this. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 20,2010 4:21pm - ouchdrummer ""] A lot of those abilities are from the force unleashed too. |

| ____________________________________ [Jul 20,2010 4:34pm - arilliusbm ""] all starwars games are politically correct. No blood or swears. Show me a Lucas Arts SW game that is rated MA or GTFO. |
| ________________________________________ [Jul 20,2010 4:38pm - AndrewBastard ""] i though this was that big open SW games they are making online only for xbox soon...myyy baaadddd |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 20,2010 4:39pm - arilliusbm ""] reimroc is just going to camp in this game anyways |
| _________________________________ [Jul 20,2010 4:47pm - reimroc ""] yea if i was a trooper or something |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 20,2010 6:47pm - slag nli ""] I have yet to play either of you spam bots in any type of new age video combat |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 20,2010 7:05pm - arilliusbm ""] I messaged this spambot called slag and he went "away." I message another spamspot named "symbyosys" but he gets off steam? |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 20,2010 7:07pm - narkybark ""] camp najena for jboots |

| ______________________________ [Jul 20,2010 7:10pm - Slag ""] narkybark said:camp najena for jboots I'm also glad that i'm not the only one the played EQ. I played/wasted too much time on that game around Shards of Velious era. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 20,2010 7:11pm - arilliusbm ""] Only ultima online is real. |
| ______________________________ [Jul 20,2010 7:12pm - Slag ""] Seriously though, only UO is real. PVP will never be as good again. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 20,2010 7:24pm - narkybark ""] EQ was brutal. It hated the players so much. That made it oddly endearing somehow. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 20,2010 7:27pm - arilliusbm ""] asheron's call anyone? |
| _________________________________________ [Jul 21,2010 1:56am - anonymouse nli ""] My only experience with EverQuest; Me trying out a friend's mage or necro or something. "How do I talk to people?" "It's a guard, he's not going to fucking talk to you." "I don't care. I wanna talk to him." "Press 'E'." Which was bound to auto-attack and I died. But this Star Wars game looks pretty neat. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 21,2010 8:26am - reimroc ""] EQ got pretty brutal with with corpse grinding. DAoC was pretty ridiculous too. SWG wasn't too bad until the jedi grind. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 21,2010 8:32am - arilliusbm ""] SWG was boring as fuck. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 21,2010 8:43am - reimroc ""] Really you found it boring? |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 21,2010 8:56am - arilliusbm ""] Runny around the country side hunting animals. Taking a 2 week break and finding out my armor and weapon was outdated. learned a bunch of skill then felt like I was wasting my time. Modern mmorpgs feed off of peoples' addiction to leveling up. It's quite sad; they're one giant waste of time. Walking in the actual woods/countryside >>>>>> fake wilderness |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 21,2010 8:58am - Slag NLI ""] I briefly tried Eve Online a few weeks ago. It was really quite excellent. I quit after my first week. I don't understand how anyone has time for MMO's anymore.... And achieving things in an MMO feels so... empty to me. I would much rather write a song or mix a track or exercise or do some worldly productive then grind and grind. This never used to be a problem, but I found that MMO's kept me from doing other things that I really should be doing. I, however may be in the minority on this opinion. Thoughts? |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 21,2010 8:58am - Slag NLI ""] You beat me to it. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 21,2010 9:00am - arilliusbm ""] God damn this cell phone grammar. |

I message another spamspot named "symbyosys" but he gets off steam? my video card is fucked up, can't play any game for 2 minutes before it shuts off. i might get a new one this weekend. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 21,2010 9:08am - arilliusbm ""] Games that demand that much out of the player are simply unhealthy and a plague to to society. amirtie? |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 21,2010 9:16am - arktouros ""] Agreed about MMOs. Worst timesink ever. I know I'd like EVE but I can't start playing it for all the reasons above. They're only made to get long-term monthly fees from players anyway. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 21,2010 9:19am - arktouros ""] That and I was literally addicted to WOW when I should have been working on not sucking so much at college. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 21,2010 9:26am - arilliusbm ""] all I did in college is play soldier of fortune II online and HL Mods, smoke and go to the gym. those were the days. |

Thoughts? its not about how much time you have, but how you use it. you don't need all the time in the world to be successful in an mmo. it helps too if you kind of make it the only game you play. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 21,2010 9:32am - reimroc ""] unless said mmo is super grindy |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 21,2010 9:33am - arilliusbm ""] ^ exactly why. They are demanding. Fuck that, I like spreading my time out with games. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 21,2010 9:37am - arktouros ""] reimroc said:it helps too if you kind of make it the only game you play. I missed a lot of better games while I was playing WOW. Also, even if you put in the time investment to reach MMO endgame content (which I never even achieved), you will get raped by people with better gear because they play 25 hours a day. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 21,2010 9:39am - arilliusbm ""] remember that video of the kid that got caught fapping to WOW? |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 21,2010 9:39am - arktouros ""] And I don't doubt Bioware has what it takes to make an kick ass Star Wars MMO but I really don't want to invest the time. Even if they gear it more toward casual players, that just means watered-down content. I'll be playing StarcraftII anyway, so... |

| ____________________________________ [Jul 21,2010 9:41am - arilliusbm ""] Can't wait to play SCII. Jim Raynor is my idol. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 21,2010 9:47am - arilliusbm ""] ark in college, drumset and all: bennyhillifier |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 21,2010 9:48am - arilliusbm ""] I think there's a better one somewhere |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 21,2010 9:49am - arktouros ""] HAHAHAAAAA |
| _________________________________ [Jul 21,2010 9:57am - reimroc ""] even when i was playing wow before any real responsibilites in my life i never played for a ridiculously long period of time(in a given day). |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 21,2010 9:59am - arilliusbm ""] Responsibility: Reimroc's antidrug. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 21,2010 10:02am - SkinSandwich ""] Spanking the federal monkey to WOW is tapped and funny as hell. |
