ME2 was certainly smaller in scope than ME1, but I'll let it slide since ME2 is a bridge game. I think of it as The Two Towers of the ME universe. The combat, to me, was a lot more fun in 2 than 1. I actually experimented with all the classes and completed the game with different classes. In ME1, the only class I could tolerate was the Soldier.

I'll take the Esh-kha too.

Wookies suck, I want that facemouth species from Nar Shaada that were protecting the Infinite Engine.

This made me chuckle. "I'm Darth Malgus and this is my favourite vendor on the Imperial Fleet"

World of Warcraft was announced by Blizzard on September 2, 2001 and went live on November 23, 2004. That's just over 3 years between announcement and release. I can say with some certainty that it was in development for at least a year prior to being publically announced. That's over 4 years. GROVEL AT MY INTERNET FEET, MINION!

He's not a companion. Edit: Oh, you ninja edit you!

Being at work, I can't see said change. Can anyone post a screenshot?

Yeah, but they were so broken it wasn't even funny. The first major patch to fix MC and Onyxia was 1.3.0. In March of 2005.

The heroic quests on the planets are actually dailies, so if for whatever reason you feel like grinding lower level commendations you are able to.

The intersting thing about that is that the Horde racial abilities were geared better towards PvP (Orc stun resistance, Will of the Forsaken), while Alliance racials were better for PvE (Human's Diplomacy, Night Elf dodge). In this game, the racials mean absolute crap and for the most part the differences are just cosmetic.

I probably wouldn't have touched it with a 10 foot clown pole if it was made by Trion. While Rift was technically a good game, it had the worst leveling experience I've ever had the pleasure of trying. It was so dull, bland and down right annoying that I never even reached max level. Now if it was BioWare story but Trion support ... As for the question in the OP. Probably. I liked the only 2 Star Wars movies ever made (Episodes 4 and 5. Yes, only 2 movies were made. I CAN'T HEAR YOU LALALALALALLALALALA) but I don't play this game for the IP. I enjoy it. Yes, it's missing features but meh. I'll see where this game goes.

Sith Assassin/Jedi Shadow use shield generators. Sorcerers/Consulars use focuses (focii?)

You don't need torpedoes for that mission. If you buy the level 30 (forget exact level rquirement) space commendation item (forget the name) that boosts your blaster fire/shield regen rate (depending on what you have active) the turrets drop in no time. The SHIELD GENERATORS drop with about 6-8 missile hits. That missions is probably one of the easiest, imo.

It costs me 100k if we wipe (albeit unecessarily) for a night while raiding. Granted, while money is stupid easy to make in this game not everyone likes doing dailies. Gold was stupid easy to make in TBC/Wrath/Cata too, yet gold sellers are still thriving.

Opinion. Anecdotal evidence. My fleet had over 100 people yesterday at 1 PM EST. Belsavis had 50 at 1:05. My keen scientific mind is telling me that the game is doing better than WoW and is bringing in more revenue than China.

There are no women on the internetz.

My level 32 Operative alt kills in PvE as fast as before (concealment spec). My level 50 Sorc gets murdered in PvP slightly slower (I actually get to bubble myself for an extra 5 seconds of living). I don't have any expertise because I PvP casually. I wonder if people are crying about the nerf for the sake of crying.

Skipped Tatooine my first time around, decided to do it on my alt. At first I was reluctant. Then I got to murder Jawas. Then I did the Czerka chain (Imp). Now it's one of my favourites in terms of questing.

I've had this happen many times on Ilum on my SORC. I'd CC one of the Jedi's (for the 2H daily). The jedi would jump me and then get CC'd instantly.

Not my spreadsheet, found it using Google. I think this is if your character as male, since Courting gives 0 if you're female. Most of my favour is with Khem, Xalek and Talos. I was too lazy to corrupt Ashara and she actually increased my downtime.

There you go.

Wizard did it. Also force choking droids. With no necks. Or lungs.

World of Warcraft - (late) November 2004 Other MMOs that released close to WoW: EverQuest: Omens of War - November 2004 Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed - October 2004 EverQuest II - November 2004 The Matrix Online - March 2005 Guild Wars - Aprl 2005 EverQuest II: Desert Of Flames - September 2005 (pushing the time frame). These were some big releases, for established games/IPs.

Loved Voss, but that was partially due to my class quest (Sith Inquis). On my Sorc, I skipped all of Tatooine because I was way overleveled and went straight to Aldaraan. I decided to do Tatooine on my Operative alt and absolutely loved the main story (Czerka Relic) quest chain. Honourable mentions are Belsavis and Taris. I know people hate Taris, but I enjoyed it because KoToR is one of my favourite games and I loved that we got to go back.
