I agree with you.. But I need something different and figure I try some new mmo's. I did have fun with SWG even after the Combat upgrade. But once they changed the Combat upgrade I was done.Originally Posted by Fursphere

I just watched a movie about this game. How do you like it so far?

If "same old" means "stuff we've seen before in other games", then WoW failed right out of the starting gate. SWORDS! SORCERY! MONSTERS! It doesn't make for a very tidy standard, and I think content is somewhat beside the point when it comes to burn-out.
WoW's particular grind, not its content, is the thing we're getting bored with: blast through 1-60, buy fast land mount, blast through 61-70, buy fast flying mount, level 71-80, do heroics, start new team. Meh. I don't mean any criticism by observing that it's getting boring, because after this many years, we SHOULD be getting bored with the same ol' game and it's a testament to the excitement of multiboxing that many of us haven't. Another MMO, Star Wars included, might/should offer a different path than what we've all done before. If it's identical to WoW's, then the different content might keep us a *little interested for a *little while because shininess attracts the eye, but I still think it's incidental and not what keeps you in your chair at 2am for just one more level.
MY MINIONS on Lightbringer US: Osaar (80 BE Paladin) - Esaar, Isaar, and Usaar (80 BE Warlocks) - Harmsworth (80 UD Priest)
Not sure what this is meant to say, but Korean game developers don't cater to the North American market, they cater to the Asian market, and that is why Lineage II was so popular as well as Aion.
Hehe there's more to star wars than just the movies. It has a ton of lore from book's and stuff to. SWG failed on so many accounts it's just retarded. IF they do it right star wars has a good chance at being successful but I'm betting they don't. I imagine the new star wars will be fun for a single box first time threw though. After that hearing everyone talk over and over and ,well you get the point, will get old pretty fast. AoC was great the first 20 level's due to the way the game played. After 20 though it was rather bland. After lvl'n my fifth guy to 20 in AoC even the first 20 wasn't that great.
As far as the WoW expansion goes I'm definately for something new. WoTLK got old fairly fast. I rerolled a new team recently and put them on a server where I couldnt boost or give them cash and I'm actually enjoying it. I think when the expansion comes out will try it one more time like that. I think I might enjoy it who know's though might get bored by 40 and say heck with it.
Fixed that for ya.
Now playing: WoW (Garona)
Sounds like you have never played a BioWare game before. Also, ragging on him for liking the star wars universe is pretty lame when here we are playing a game with fantasy even more played out in the Tolkien themed orc, dwarves, elves, magic bullshit. Cashing in on jedi/sith/bounty hunter/trooper/medic/ect, or cashing in on the generic mage/warrior/priest/ect. Take your pick, i'm sure the latter is sooooooooo different and original to you.
KotOR mmo is looking absolutely amazing imo.
I also have no problem with Lucas Arts sticking to Star Wars games. I'm not interested in a Lucas Arts made football game, ect. I don't want starbucks making my lasagna either thank you very much.

Not entirely true. They released a remade version of Monkey Island 1 a couple of months ago.
The only good games that ever have come from Lucas Arts were the old point-and-click adventure games from the 90's. Monkey Island, Sam & Max, Day of the Tentacle. Good stuff.
I can't wait for Cataclysm. Tho, I'm kinda upset as how they're getting rid of all the old world content and redoing. I've always been Alliance, and now that I'm multiboxing, I'm just now investing some of my time in rolling Horde. I know I've had 4 years or so to explore everything, but not if you don't have the kind of time and happen to play multiple toons. I'm also a big Star Wars fan and can't wait for the new mmo coming out. I may actually put WoW on hold for a while and try that one out. When I finally caved in and started to invest in playing mmos, it was when SoE bought out SWG and how they sank that game into the ground. Instead of wasting my money and time in that game, since everyone was leaving it, I decided to try WoW and have been hooked ever since. I've played most of the Star Wars games and loved most of'em. Some I could've invested that money and time into something better, but still, I can't wait to try this one out. Not sure I'll multibox it, but I know I'll solo it first.
Not excited about buying 5x copies just to regear/level, but unless something better comes along I probably will. Will try Aion and see how that is (although I've tried pretty much every MMO that has come out and other than EQ, Planetside, EVE, and WOW none have stuck).
