I'm not really a "Lord of the Rings" style fantasy guy, but I love sci-fi-style fantasy. Therefore, I'm actually psyched about the new Star Wars MMORPG! I think the Star Wars universe offers at least as much intrigue as the "fantasy" genre (WoW), but with added advantages that may make it the primo MMORPG! Here's why...
First of all, I only need to say it once: BIOWARE!
Second of all, the Star Wars universe has it's own built-in, uh, "asshat" protection (to use a Matt Barton-coined word). How can you be a Jedi if you're an "asshat?" These types will probably gravitate towards the "dark side," which means they will be in character. That means people like me can be cordial Jedis to our heart's content.
Third of all, it's Star Wars! Star Wars is a phenomenon, and it's pop culture, with a huge built-in audience of all ages! Much more so than the "fantasy" genre, in my opinion. This, coupled with the fact that Bioware has apparently tried to rectify the shortcomings of previous MMORPG's, and I think you have a HUGE potential winner!
I think this game not only has the potential to compete with "WoW," I think it will probably DETHRONE WoW! Thanks to the license, it has a HUGE advantage over other MMORPG competitors, plus it sounds like it's being done right! I may be one of the first to join in!
