Will YOU play The Old Republic??

Please answer the question, I want to know who would be in for virtual in-game meetings in the future.


Facts: The Old Republic is...

+ A persistent Star Wars universe
+ A social environment for us fans
+ A place where you can be whatever you want
+ Will most likely be story-oriented
+ Allow for fast-paced action combat

- An MMORPG that requires a subscription to play
- Only available in summer of 2011
- PC only (so far)
- An MMORPG (grinding, leveling, being busy instead of having fun and being social)
- probably gonna eat your life

+ Will have groups of people being all mando and cool shniz like that
+ Will have Jedi/Sith you'll be able to fry/maim/shred with your guns

What I'll probably do is let Kyr'ika or Bastion buy it, and borrow it from them to see how much I like it, and whether I'm willing to pay $15 a month to play...which will probably be not. I'd be more likely to just play on Kyr'ika's account (assuming he gets it and pays the monthly fee) when he's not playing. I really do hate the monthly crap, 'cause you never know when things might happen that prevent you from playing that month, making it a wasted payment. I much prefer the "here, play the bare minimum for free, and if you want extra perks, you can shell out however much you're willing to, and have access to anything you buy FOREVER!"

TLDR; As a casual gamer, the free-to-play model that I have discovered is FAR more appealing than the monthly fee stuff that's been going on for so long.

I won't be playing it, if only because I'm a student with no viable source of income. It does sound fun, though.

lol im just going to go from a Mandalorian clan on SWG to a Mandalorian clan on TOR! should be fun!

I will if anyone funds me xD

lol i think some of you would be sick if you knew how much I paid in the past a month in MMO fee's...

My biggest concern would be system requirements and how stable the game would be. I've had so many troubles on that level as off late that I'm not optimistic for the future of PC gaming.

Games I had trouble running without BSOD's (because of Nvidia driver support):
MW2
Bad Company 2
Global Agenda
Champions Online
Test Drive Unlimited

I have the same fear, I run SWG pretty well but the fact still remains that my computers gotta be at least 5 years old. I spent a fortune on it but Im sure its gonna hit a wall at some point and I'll be forced to replace it. We will find out when I go to log in though i guess lol.

I don't plan to play the game. I barely ever play any video games (touched one for 10 minutes after my son was born three years ago, and I have no interest in them what-so-ever).

BUT...I will say that I watched the "Hope" trailer after I saw some screen shots on DeviantArt last night, and I want to see a movie made or at least a book based on that battle of Alderaan!! That would interest me greatly. I don't expect either, but it would be a great tie in to at least read such a book.

I don't get it, why do some of you say "I won't play the game" and yet nobody picked "No" in the poll?

Get a grip, people!
