tindin Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 a one player champaign game with a mutli person pvp addon......why is is called an mmorpg? just because it's on some server? because you login to it? because you see ppl standing around fleet? because you need to ask for help to get a quest done? i'm not saying it's a bad game but how did it get past beta as it is.......

Aroseby Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I agree that's why my wife and I are going to pop a bottle of champagne when we both hit level 50 together as that's how we play the game(as 2player multi play with members of our guild) (currently we are level 32 each...sith sorc (me) sith warrior(wife) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you Tindin. Calling this game an MMORPG is a stretch. It's more like a action/adventure game online with some mild RPG elements tossed in, but it deffinitely doesn't belong in the MMORPG category. It's like Borderlands minus the first person view and dumber enemy AI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious as to what makes you think it's not an MMORPG, because even though I dislike zone instancing it's not the first MMORPG to do it. Not even close. I can't think of anything else you could possibly be referring to. Edited January 19, 2012 by PJEBarlow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serpenttt Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 What's the difference between this game and another game you would call an mmo? Sharding aside, they are all relatively the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyIommi Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Its funny. People complain that swtor is to derivative and that its simply "wow with lightsabers" Then people complain that its not even in the same category as warcraft. Get on the same page guys cmoon.

JeremyDale Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I'm curious as to what makes you think it's not an MMORPG, because even though I dislike zone instancing it's not the first MMORPG to do it. Not even close. I can't think of anything else you could possibly be referring to. Because it lacks the "massive" feel of a Massively Multiplayer Role Playing Game. It's just a collection of different zones and pathways. It's built almost identical to a single player action/adventure game. Typically MMORPGs (WoW or LOTRO for example) have huge interconnected worlds you can freely explore without constantly being confined by corridors and map borders. This seems excessive on SWTOR, to the point it makes the game feel less like it's own world and more like you are just traversing through a level design. Like I said in my earlier post - SWTOR is built basically like games such as Borderlands. A great game, but I wouldn't consider it an MMORPG.

Its a MMORPG because its the same as approx 80% of the MMORPG games out there.. you solo lvl.... run a few instances for beter gear ....... PVP in a battle grounds or in the designated area. To be completely honest the last several MMORPG I have played such as Rift,War,SWG,Aion,Conan,RoM can all be solo'd to max lvl just stoping off to do some instances for certain items of gear you may want though aint essential. RF online is the only game that i have played where you have to be in a group most of the time to progress (@l higher levels)and that because its a grind game and has one quest line other than the one you get at the begining of each lvl with 1 extra quest which is more like a daily/weekly that you can do between a certain lvl ranges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
