Star Wars: The Old Republic

The majority of my recent game research has been devoted to BioWare's new MMORPG The Old Republic. It's set to release sometime this Spring and looks to be the next big MMO in the market. It's based around the story of Knights of the Old Republic, but set 300 years later.

I'm also currently reading the Darth Bane trilogy which I highly recommend to anyone interested in Star Wars lore.

  1. I was sad to hear when the old republic got pushed back again.

  2. I remember watching a video for this. Its supposed to be the first MMORPG with all voice acting or something?

  3. I haven't read any of the books about it.

    Aside from Darth Bane, any others you recommend?

  4. You say Spring, I really hope so. If I have to wait for winter release than I'll be a sad panda :(

  5. Yeah this is the first MMO to be fully voice acted so no more boring text boxes for quest info. And the only other Star Wars book i've read besides Darth Bane is Fatal Alliance which is part of The Old Republic story. It was worth reading but nothing special. It's set roughly 10 years after the start of the game.

  6. Off topic but it reminds me of KOTOR..

    They should remake KOTOR with new graphics and missions. Now that I would buy.
