The Star Wars: The Old Republic Website announced preloads are now underway for those who have preordered BioWare's upcoming MMORPG. The post also says early access to the game will begin next week: "Starting December 13, 2011, The Old Republic will begin emailing invitations to start your Early Game Access. Invitations will be sent throughout the Early Game Access period offering rolling access to the game in the order in which you redeemed your Pre-Order Code, so be sure to check your email inbox!" Thanks nin.

I would call it a cooperative KOTOR with a subscription.

I'm a huge fan of the old KOTOR games but this doesn't really play like one. People are inevitably going to compare it to World of Warcraft and I think that's a fair comparison in some ways. They share a lot of the same elements in terms of camera angle, combat style and user interface. It really doesn't do much to set it apart from your average MMORPG title.

I do however agree that it plays a bit like Guild Wars, it has a lot of instanced/phased content going on. My time in the beta weekends was somewhat fun but I just didn't see anything there that made me want to go out and buy this game after years of other MMORPG games. I think I'm just done with those games in general unless they start trying to reinvent the (hamster) wheel.




Playing: Faster Than Light, Tales of Graces F, Fire Emblem 3DS Watching: Ghost in the Shell, Hannibal, Oblivion
