The Old Republic goes free-to-play

oh wow, that is a lot. hopefully they do get that sorted out because i really wont touch it unless it's a smaller amount of space.

might check this out if it's actually free to play. it's the only reason i played diablo 3 (that, and i got the actual game free. ;x)

No, he's talking about WoW: The Crippled Edition.

Hence why it's the crippled edition.

 

I think it was all the talking up of it being another "WoW killer" that made people go "omg must get it" and then they were dissapointed with it. From what I've seen and heard, all classes are mostly the same, bar a few gimmicks, and they're all capable of self healing. Combat seems slow, and uninventive, and it just generally doens't look as nice as it should.

Debatable.

If this does become fully F2P, does that mean we're all gonna be like "yay khv star wars" and play it? Cause I'm up for that.

 

This was something that really bothered me about the trial; granted I hadn't leveled up or tried new abilities but it was basically "ram attack button, beat enemy; heal yourself; find new enemy." It got dull.

 

Really, that's the core gameplay of any MMO, though. Most games try to add in little things, like with WoW, certain bosses have extra buttons that do things, like reduce damage, or something. I meant more that it seemed sluggish.

 

Oh alright, to be fair this was really my first MMO, and I'm pretty new to the world of PC gaming too. So it might have just been that I had unrealistic expectations. But it was pretty sluggish, too.
