SW:TOR General Game Information

There are several resources for TOR at the moment, I’ve just listed a few of the Official pages that may be of interest to prospective players.

– The Game overview and trailer can be found here http://www.swtor.com/info

Play Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ and be the hero of your own Star Wars™ saga in a story-driven massively-multiplayer online game from BioWare and LucasArts. Explore an age thousands of years before the rise of Darth Vader when war between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire divides the galaxy.

Choose to be a Jedi, a Sith, or from a variety of other classic Star Wars roles, and make decisions which define your personal story and determine your path down the light or dark side of the Force. Along the way you will befriend courageous companions who will fight at your side or possibly betray you based on your actions. Together, you will battle enemies in dynamic Star Wars combat and team up with other players to overcome incredible challenges.

– These Setting Trailers are really great http://www.swtor.com/info/story/setting

Before I decide on whether or not I’ll buy this, I’d like to know what the gameplay is like. Is it like STO or is it more like the traditional MMOs? By this I mean is it like a third person shooter or turn-based with you pressing one of the number keys to activate an ability while you watch what’s happening?

Use your dulcet tones to convince me to buy this.

Flash posted a review here a little while ago, check it out http://www.guildalliance.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=32.

The controls are a lot like STO, I could almost play it straight away without adjusting any button assignments. bank, inventory, exchange etc is similar to STO. We have about 6 fleet members over there so far.

So, like traditional MMO gameplay. Damn it. I’ve never greatly enjoyed traditional MMO’s for the same reason I greatly dislike the Final Fantasy games and JRPG’s in general, It’s more watching a movie than playing a game.

I’ll still probably try it, just to see what it’s like.

Important question: Does it come with a month of free gametime?

Mine did, so yes I think all versions do. You have to put in a payment method still to be able to play like STO.

I was excited for this, and then I read what they did with Revan. What the Hell? My favourite Star Wars character ever, and he spends most of his time captured and then he gets beaten by some little kiddies. The man who was called the Heart of the Force, pretty much one of the most powerful Jedi and Sith ever, and he gets taken out like that?

I liked it better when he traveled to the Unknown Regions to fight an unknown and almost unstoppable enemy. At least that had some dignity to it.

I am totaly agree, all my RPing in SWTOR was only about Revan, and what they did to him in “The Foundry” its terrible… I try just not to belive in it. Republic version of Revan Flashpoint, litle different, well he at least survive.
