Anyone playing Star Wars The Old Republic yet? I just bought the digital Collectors version for $70 or $80, I'm a sucker for ingame exclusive items. Plus I love Star Wars... But I never wanted to try the beta, wanted to experience the real thing in its final version for the first time, and yeah, I'm a day late. But anyone tried it thus far? Any good? I can't imagine a BioWare game not having at least some redeeming qualities, but a Star Wars MMO is not exactly a walk in the park to create. Just not a theme that translates well to MMOs, particularly since they've got to have Jedis playable, and then they are likely overpowering compared to other classes. Add space flight/battles. Multiple planets... It's a nightmare to turn into a viable MMO, just ask Sony and Star Wars Galaxies. Same goes for Star Trek.
I'll admit I am slightly concerned how the pets (whatever they call them) turn out and work... I've sill got 7gb left to download, but I'm optimistic. It is BioWare, as I said. And it's freaking Star Wars. Still... Star Wars Galaxies leaves a horrid taste in any SW fans mouth.
