BioWare will do that too but just not in half a year. People who rage about dual talents and dungeon finders from wow have to remember it took blizzard 3 years to implement that. Overall, it is a great game with potential. And it's only been out for 5months so there really isn't that much end game content. You could also pay bi-yearly for 10bucks a month. Also, 15 bucks a month but it's the same with most other pay worthy mmo. It seems to be implemented early summer 2012 if i remember correctly.

Bioware did say they will offer paid server transfers and free ones soon so that is a good sign. After the first month or so most of the OMG THIS IS NOT WOW people left so a lot of the servers are not populated. I really have to say they put in too many servers into the game. It will takes a bout 1.5x longer to level up if you level alone. Also, the leveling is not that slow if you have a friend that levels with you. For the sound I really never pay attention to most things as long as some sort of noise is coming out that matches the picture so go read up on somebody else for that. The graphics are not bad at all if you have it on high. However, if you do like stories with voice acting then this game is pretty awesome. Now if you don't care about any story and just want to grind battle grounds then this game is not for you. This really makes you want to make a new character just for the story line. Each class has its own story line and you will and I mean YOU will enjoy the main story line. However, something are different from wow. Give it some time and they will add more stuff.Įverybody says this is a re-skinned version of wow. A monthly fee of $14.99 is required to continue playing the game after the first 30 days. The game also features land-based vehicles, a galactic trade network for selling and buying items, dedicated social hubs, areas designed specifically for player versus player combat, and cooperative raid-type encounters called operations. In addition, Star Wars: The Old Republic lets you captain a personal starship to engage in space combat or to use for transportation. You will also make decisions during quests that will earn you either light or dark Force points that can eventually be used to unlock exclusive powers. Dialogue sequences are completely voice acted, for example, and you'll be able to fight alongside companion characters that will actively converse with your character, become more proficient in combat, and even offer the possibility of romance. One distinctive element of The Old Republic is its emphasis on cinematic storytelling. You'll hone your combat skills against an assortment of droids, creatures, and humanoids, either alone or with the help of others. The interface and combat system are designed in a similar fashion to previous games in the genre, with players viewing their characters from a third-person viewpoint and clicking on individual keys to initiate different forms of attacks and powers. Become a Jedi Knight, Sith warrior, bounty hunter, smuggler, or one of four other class types as you explore the base game's 17 worlds, each home to numerous quests, characters, and challenges. Star Wars: The Old Republic is a persistent world role-playing game that has you fighting in an epic war between the Galactic Republic and Sith Empire.
