The story in SWTOR is unlike any I've seen in any MMO before (FFXIV's story, by contrast, bored me to tears). I also like the combat quite a bit, which also is rare in MMO's (again, FFXIV's combat was just.... zzzzz)Some of us had been trying to get a dedicated SWTOR group together for a night or two a week, Asgarn was one of us and he seemed to need a little break BUT I'm still totally up for SWTOR play.Â
If another MMO coming down the pipeline can replicate SWTOR's storytelling prowess, than definitely I'll check it out, as that's a huge part of me actually liking a game. But that seems rare as most mmos don't seem to want to put in the time or money for quality writing and plots.
My only regret is I desperately wish I could transport this community to my new home ._. People here are so much friendlier and social.
As to the other MMOs, I've given up on waiting for World of Darkness. CCP can't keep its stuff together and they teaser a brief, snail-pace effort now and then. The Phoenix Project has made more progress with their development than CCP has in years on WoD. Â If I had to bet which will come out first with better effort, my money'd be on TPP and City of Titans.
Wildstar looked entertaining to me and I'm not so much of a stickler for the aesthetics. It was nice to see a sci-fi MMO that didn't take itself too seriously. My gripe with EVE and such is exactly that. ZOMG, it's a video game, not life 2.0. Still, the reviews thus far have been pretty "meh".
I've never been an EQ fan. WoW was fun for awhile and so was LOTRO, but it loses its appeal over time. I'm always aware that FF14 will get to that point too with its endgame. (I mean, c'mon. We can see the signs already, admit it.) This Landmark thang just seems like desperation. No offense to the franchise.
Never heard of Bless until now. Took a look at the videos and I don't see much staying power in it. Cookie Cutter, despite touting epic storyline design and lush graphics.
Anywho, that's my take on things.
What a colossal waste of time and energy.
