Star Wars: The Old Republic has a pro-gun writer

If Lucas was involved, it would have been "guns are bad."

If Lucas had been involved I would have to wait until the mobs shot at me before I could attack.

Han shot first.

So how is everyone liking the game so far?

If my memory serves, one of Kim and Connie du Toit's kids works for Bioware as a QA tester.

It is better than I thought it would be. I expected a WoW clone with lightsabers. I am liking the kotor feel to it. No idea if it will hold my interests after I have done all the story lines or not.

They let QA write parts of the script!?! cool.

I'm enjoying it quite a bit. I'm running both Sith and Republic toons at the same time in order to get the big picture. That and we managed to get all the old guildies that dropped out of EQ2 back into a game. Native chat functions would be a good idea. We're currently using Mumble. I especially enjoy the space combat parts, but wish there was more variety than what I'm seeing right now. I don't feel that its "WoW in space" at all.

I read the ToR game forums when I am bored at work and the amount of QQ in them is incredible. Between the people who think it's too much like Wow, the people who think it's not enough like WoW and the people who thought that they were getting SWG 2 the amount of crying is unbelievable. Of course what they don't seem to know, and what Bioware, Blizzard, and other developers will never tell them, is that forum goers make up a very small percentage of the people playing.

Crying on mmo forums is a game in and of itself to these people.

Same goes for every game, really. I'm avoiding this one simply because it's an MMO.

EQ2 recently, for me anyway, got to the point where reading EQ2 Flames was more entertaining than actually being in game. Luckily, SWTOR was right around the corner.

The game is one of the most single player friendly MMOs out there. Aside from the heroic stuff everything is soloable.
