  1. Approximately here: http://kotaku.com/309937/ea-buys-bioware-pandemic
  2. Player-formed factions are far more interesting.
  3. It's not just Khem. It's any companion with a behemoth bodytype, like Khem or Qyzen.
  4. Bingo. Patch early, patch often should be the mantra of any MMO development team. However, it seems that even a miniscule patch involves colossal downtimes with this version of the Hero engine. Given that, they're handling patches in the old way that makes sense.
  5. Only if you overpaid for the honda. And all you wanted from in the way of reliability is continual disapointment. It's an 80's Skoda with a Landspeeder body kit.
  6. It's to prevent players from just ignoring their companion until they're 50 and them pummeling them to max with cheap gifts from the market, I assume.
  7. I've said it before and I'll say it again: seperate servers are a dumb idea in this day and age.
  8. NO thought went into the levelling portion either: A modicum of thought about how the content would actually be experienced in-game would have resulted in a much better experience.
  9. SW:TOR's high budget, slick licenced title overseen by two corporate behemoths is obviously a much better recipe for success. So long as you don't mind the fact that the game is bobbins, that is.
  10. A responsive, interested developer with little or no publisher interference.
  11. It's still a sandbox, because you can take the rides back down again if you want
  12. Sandbox, to me, means that combat is only one style of gameplay and that the player has the choice to go anywhere or do anything they want whenever they want (within reason).
  13. Sorry, the MMO with Vader in it was shut down.
  14. You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.</inigo>
  15. Don't even get me started on Second Life. What a waste of potential. *MMO gives you the ability to fly as a standard action* *Players spend their time recreating real-life motorbikes and vehicles in a phsyics system where they'll never be able to handle right anyway*
  16. Speak for yourself. I don't know what this game has with giving the Sage sklrts, but it's really starting to creep me out. Would it really hurt to give us the option of a pair of trousers? Even just every now and then?
  17. I'm guessing you missed the scene where Palpatine reorganised the Republic into the Empire? The Empire IS the Republic. As for TOR, we have 3000 years between now and then. Any number of things could happen (but it's worth noting that the "rebel" insignia of the original trilogy is reportedly the emblem of Starkiller's house).
  18. Last time I checked, UO was still runnin', and there ain't none sandboxier (except maybe Eve).
  19. Sandbox gameplay is the natural shape of an MMO. But it can be difficult to find a way to insert yourself into that gameplay. Story or theme-park based gameplay can serve to immerse you in that world, but it's no substitute for sandbox gameplay in the long term.
  20. If EA can't offer adequate account security without external devices and extra expense, they don't deserve our custom. (and yes, there are many ways to increase security without requiring external devices: A second password, for example: The trick is the second password is never requested in it's entirety. Instead, two or three random characters from within the password are required, making it impossible for keyloggers to capture the entire password in a single login session). An external security key is simply both an inconvenience and an unnecessary extra expense.
  21. In our universe it is. The Force is strange though. It can be directed, but it can direct you, too. I tend to think of it as an equal-and-opposite reaction. If one applies one's will to the Force to achieve an end that runs counter to it's intention, then at some point, it will "balance the scales" and do the same to you.
  22. It's not the reason, It's just a contributing factor: The straw that broke the dromedary.
