Star Wars: The Old Republic

[rabb]

well what the hell, I am in

I have been on the fence with this. If they can take the grindey bits out then I am sold. After trying WoW and LOTRO for a bit, I quit after having to fetch some magical toe cream from the land beyond Nod just because I am supposed to do dumb quests for an old lady who for some reason gets to control xp allotments.

They are making it sound like it's a lot more story-based, like from the very beginning. It is Bioware after all. I don't expect to be finding plants to make pancake batter for a magical cook.

Oh also--from what I read, you will be able to assign your companions to do the menial shit like crafting things and collecting materials. I'm not sure exactly how it will work but the quote i read was something along the lines of 'you are the hero, and that's what your companions are there for'

How long until you drop this 'Domo' pretense and just fess up?

I'll have to tell Domo when I get home from work.

Incidentally, he wants to know if there will be a T365 guild formed.

[rabb]

I would definitely do that, it may only be 3-4 of us but I don't care

Domo is already a walking Wiki on this game. He told me last night that there are certain points in the game, I forget what they're called (not boss battles, but that's kind of what they are), where up to 4 players can party up and work together.

[rabb]

the site is all jacked up, so I imagine a batch of these emails went out...I will try later, I have the client but I can't login just yet

[miketheknife]

I think it's possible to create a guild through the site already. I vote for Domo as the leader.

What kind of a computer do you need to run this game? I am interested but do not want to sink any cash into a new setup. I can run WOW on my laptop fine now.
