For those of you sick of WoW, here is a preview of the new KotoR game that gives it good "preview" grades.

Between SWTOR probably not coming out in 2011 and GW2 looking so tasty, I'm actually leaning towards trying the latter first, something I really didn't expect a year ago.

I know this may be blasphemy, but I have no desire whatsoever to try the new (or any other) Star Wars games. I am a casual fan (at best) of the Star Wars brand and I think Galaxies may have ruined any excitement I may have ever felt for a Star Wars game. I still think that game was the worst MMO I ever played, although Asheron's Call 2 was a bigger disappointment for me personally.

I don't think that it is really going to make a dent or be any more successful than the last dozen or so MMO's released since WoW.

WoW is still going to swallow up MMO's for years to come.

Waiting for it more and more impatiently.
It's one of the two upcoming games that, for the first time, has some potential to equal WoW in quality.

SWTOR: 50 Jedi Shadow (Tank), 50 Sith Marauder (Annihilation).
LOTRO: Lifetime account, playing very casually.
WoW: Both accounts canceled for now.
GW2: Future Warrior.

A game doesn't need to make a dent to be good. Personally, I hope SW:TOR kicks ass. Not because I care about how it does "against" WoW, but because more good games to play is always a god thing.


Now obviously, you are going to have all the retards calling it a WoW killer or whatever (the Rift Beta was full of idiots like that and so have all the other games I've played in the last 5 years) but does it matter? No.

Oh Spooky. You said WoW CAT is going the way of TOA.


But you are correct, WoW is king and will remain so, but games need but a fraction of their numbers to make money.
