Sorry to dredge up this old fossil, but in my case its somewhat applicable. Still subscribe to ESO, but their forced-solo content drive my wife and me to resubscribe to SWTOR, since here we're not forced into solo play. So in a way, ESO drove me back to SWTOR.

Ah, the joystick talk reminds me of the original Wing Commander or Tie Fighter.

Creative.

I'm not picky. Just want the ability to command a capital ship ... or perhaps a fleet.

The article is written in a meandering and disjointed style. Really had a hard time following it. Do modern writers of pieces like that have no training in journalism or know what an inverted pyramid is?

Races that would be interesting to play: Diathim Killik Barabel Anacondan

May be an age-thing, but I thought that was a pretty stupid fad.

So was I, in Mosul, but apparently ... only partly, since we were in the "bad" war, and those in Afghanistan were in the "good" war. But won't go more into that.

Could be worse: You could be deployed to Afghanistan as a cherry Soldier, sent out on the very first dismounted combat patrol, and become and IED magnet.

Ah, it's good to be a retired military guy drawing pension and the boss in a job where I can set my own hours.

Sweet! Picked a good time to re-subscribe.

I want everything for free. Our American politicians have taught me that I should have everything handed to me ... so make with the free stuff.

Were one available for purchase, I'd recommend an Imperial Star Destroyer.
