Star Wars: The Old Republic – Why aren’t they listening to us? Contest!
I am seeing lots more disgruntled comments.. and a few good comments coming. One was a really long one but I wanted to address this:
Well, I suppose this all leads to the question of why aren’t they listening to us.
Why? Because it’s impossible to please everyone. It would be nice if they came out with the MMO and then release a single player version of it to please both sides, but that’s probably not going to happen. I’m not sure whether it would take too much time or too much money?
So, I thought i’d run a little contest. I’d like to hear people’s thoughts on why they aren’t listening to us. It seems like there are two sides to this dilemma, the side that wants and loves the idea of a MMO and the side just wants a normal KOTOR single player game. It’s kind of like how everyone wanted Multiplayer for The Force Unleashed… that didn’t happen.
Just reply to this thread with your reason why they’re not listening to us, the best answer and comment will win themselves a free Star Wars PC game of their choice!
Make sure you leave your email address! The winner will be contacted on December 15th and their free game will be shipped out the following day.
I was thinking of adding a forum as well for people to discuss our dilemma. Let me know if you’d be interested.
Star Wars: The Old Republic is gunning for WOW News…
I noticed we got mentioned on the official The Old Republic community and I just wanted to point out a couple things. Obviously there is a lot of tension between the people who want The Old Republic MMO and those who don’t want it.
Now this was the original post:
“Oh, but there are! You wouldn’t find many of those here although. And I really doubt, that the majority wants a MMO. There could be more, but it surely isn’t the majority!
Just look here for example what those guys have to say:
http://kotor3.net/
…and frankly said, I think so, too.”
To be honest, I would say that there really is no majority, there’s a lot of people who want it and there’s a lot who don’t… and then there are the people who just don’t care and will take anything as long as it has Star Wars on it.
Now the next post wrote:
If they had complaints why wouldnt they post it here on say the offical site rather thena fan site set up for a game thats not comfirmed?
I’ll tell you why, because when people go to an official forum, they either like the game or they’re harassed and ridiculed for not liking it. “If you don’t want the game why are you here?”, “Get lost troll”, ect..
It’s not just this game, it’s for everything. Try rolling over to another official forum and express dislike for what they’re doing.
I just thought it was interesting, how much people, at least who visit this site, arn’t looking forward to the MMO. I’m not that excited for it, but, chances are i’ll play it, and you never know, I just may love it.
Just remember that anything posted here is our own personal opinions, post away your comments, good and bad, I love to hear them!
Anyway, a little bit of new that was posted awhile ago.
EA and LucasArts executives have told videogaming247 that they are targeting World of Warcraft-sized success with Star Wars: The Old Republic.
The BioWare-developed MMO was announced this week and you can find everything there is to know about it (not much, unfortunately) here on Eurogamer. LucasArts is publishing the game, but EA, as owner of BioWare, is also involved.
“We have very high expectations for this,” EA Games president Frank Gibeau told vg247. “Just look at the base of Star Wars fans, plus what BioWare can do. Trust me: we want to win. EA’s reputation is for wanting to win.
“This is going to be a powerful category and there’s lots of ways to compete in this category,” Gibeau continued. “[Blizzard] created a much larger opportunity for everybody else, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to stay that way.”
LucasArts’ online chief Tom Nichols chimed in, betting that The Old Republic’s emphasis on story would bring record numbers of players to massively multiplayer gaming.
“Our goal is to show that by bringing storytelling to the genre that we can attract an even wider audience. Plus, we have the benefit of this huge brand, which has done very, very well for nearly 30 years.”
Asked specifically if the game would be bigger than WOW, Nichols said: “I think this game has that potential.”
The executives are the first in the MMO industry to be bold enough to predict that they can take on and best Blizzard’s record number of subscriptions.
Star Wars: The Old Republic has no release date as yet, and has only been confirmed for PC, although Gibeau suggested that a console version was “under consideration”.
