That's not what we want at all! That's one of the main reason you lost subscriptions when you changed SWG you dumb f*cks!
Well my hopes Bioware could pull this out of the fire have gone up in smoke..Theo Samaritan said:
Actually, what I want is a real sequel to KOTOR 2. A well written, finished, single player RPG with character development and interesting NPCs. Not some cartoonish MMO where everyone is a jedi.
Everyone's said it already, but I'll say it again. They totally got it wrong. We made original characters, wrote our own story, had our own adventures. the grind was miserable, but we carved our own sense of self. the Jedi and Sith (um, they're mostly extinct supposidally) were the thing of talk and rumor.)
When they caved to the few people whining on the forums and made it possible to be a Jedi, that was fine. They were crazy powerful, just as they should be, but they were a sort of prestige class. The path of a Jedi was never easy, and it definitally wasn't easy here. But damn could you clean house. =)
Then they redid everything. Suddenly you had Jedi everywhere, everyone was some "savior" rescued in the same op by Han Solo and Co. Must make you feel really special when you're running around a room with a thousand other people hacking away at things with lightsabers while Han is repeating over and over again to a line of n00bs "You're the one who will save the Republic!" or some nonsense.
The Old Republic era can do much to correct this alone, but if they're going to have Jedi classes running alongside joe-schmo pistol characters, then they'll be stamping a big "mediocre" label over the whole class, and they'll be right back where they started with: a half-baked mmo that follows the lore and mythos in title only.

I thought LA were considering dropping support for the game, since SOE run it and fudged it up royally with the game engine, watch the subscriptions dwindle down to nothing when TOR hits the shelves.
