EA and BioWare announce more numbers from the launch of Star Wars: The Old Republic, their new Force-powered MMORPG. Word is: "Over this past weekend, players continued to flood the servers of the fastest-growing subscription MMO in history, immersing themselves in the game for over 5.5 million hours. Star Wars: The Old Republic is also proving to be a critical smash hit, with an average review score of 88*, making it the highest rated MMO of 2011, while also winning over 105 industry awards, including “Best Multiplayer Game of 2011” from MSNBC. Enthusiasm for The Old Republic has also gone viral, as over 1.6 million fans have viewed the Jedi vs. Sith Freeze Mob in Times Square on launch day, making it one of the most viewed videos on YouTube during this past weekend." Here is a breakdown:
- Over 60 million in-game hours – roughly equivalent to watching all six Star Wars movies over 4 million times
- Over 850,000 Sith Warriors and over 810,000 Jedi Knights created
- Over 260 million quests completed
- Over 44 million PvP battles
- Over 9 million space combat missions completed
- Over 3 billion NPCs killed

Many of the quests had branching paths and ambiguous moral choices as well and the locales and characters were very well developed.
I was telling someone about this yesterday, actually. I consider NV a true RPG because you play a role and because you make decisions with consequences. In fact, you can't avoid consequences. And the consequences aren't always obvious. Often you're not sure if you're making the good choice or the evil choice, the right choice or the wrong choice. In many cases there is no good or evil, right or wrong. But you still need to make a choice.
Oblivion had no choices, Fallout 3 had a few but they tended to just change your reward and the few exceptions had giant neon signs that made both the goodness or evilness of the decision, as well as the consequences, easy to determine. Just to use those two as comparisons. |
