I have been keeping watch on this game's development. I loved playing KOTOR I and II so I have high hopes for this MMO. Though I will probably wait for some reviews before jumping into it. That and I need to heavily update my computer/buy a new one to fully enjoy it. Hope it does not come out until 2011 wink

Yea, our comp was Methuselahs' reject. LOL! Seriously, out of the kindness of their hearts, it was given to us by some good friends, and we GREATLY appreciate it. It runs very good, we've had it for over a year now, and no problems that were the comps fault. BUT... because we're on dial up, our connections are slow. We're in a rural area, so there is no way to upgrade to faster service. (ugh) To pay good money on a new computer when we can't afford Satellite service isn't on the menu. Soooo, on line play isn't practical. >;~)

I played Galaxies when it first came out. It was fun for awhile, but it didn't have a lot of content so I burned out on it fast. You can look online for many of the controversies on that game, so enter at your own risk.

Does anyone know the specs on this new game? What would you need to run it?

Also, where would I get a trial for Galaxies. I may wanna try it for a bit, just to check it out.

Just go to Starwarsgalaxies.com and you can download the 14 day trial. Its just 14 days whether you play them or not so get your time in while you can. I would also recommend picking a well populated server. It gets boring when you've ran around for 3 hours and seen 2 people.

As far as the specs, Im not sure. Ill post something as soon as I find out though.

The Old Republic website introduced a new feature this weekend. They are discussing the timeline of the game through an in-universe viewpoint. It is narrated by Lance Henriksen or Bishop from Aliens. Most impressive!

Cool! I never was one for the MMORPG scene, but I am playing Galaxies on a trial to check it out, and I think its pretty cool so far.

OK the look of this one I have been looking at now is great. I have been playing Galaxies on and off since it came out and the Old Republic looks like it will dominate over Galaxies. They plan on running both games at the same time (how this is possible since Sont owns Galaxies and this is by Bioware im not too sure). I have been playing World of Warcraft pretty heavily for almost a year now and im getting pretty burnt. I will be coming back to Galaxies here in a bit in anticipation for TOR happy If anyone else has an account tell me the Galaxy (server) and I will get on. As far as specs go I dont think TOR will be too heavily laden on the graphics. I am pretty sure if you can run WOW (World of Warcraft) you can run TOR. You can look at the specs for WOW on http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/faq/technology.html. I dont see TOR being much more on specs.

Some major goodness on The Old Republic! See the trailer for the game here! (Note: There is the presentation and the trailer link below that, but the trailer is definitely the winner.)
