They were not, and that generated an initial huge problem for the game. When you played SWTOR you expected things like the group finder and the other systems to be present because they were in WoW. Three primary problems existed with SWTOR: We had all though it, even started a blog in anticipation of it SWTOR had a shot at being the chosen one to provide WoW with a competitor.Īnd then … it released. I had followed its development for years. A game that had a backbone of lore, story, and universe with more complexities and depth than Warcraft. Blizzard was, I thought (and still do), resting on its laurels. This lead to Blizzard getting lazy with things like Cataclysm and other expansions sometimes the content was too routine, and other times the game felt stale. WoW was an MMO that dominated the marketplace and no one had really been able to crack the egg open yet and provide it with a real competitor. When Star Wars: The Old Republic was going to be released I was excited that WoW was finally going to have some legitimate competition. They might not always be the best, but they keep me entertained. I know that the company has undergone some crazy changes over the years, but whatever - I enjoy their stories, even when friends of mine sound off against them. I have been, I am, a fan of what BioWare makes. Star Wars: The Old Republic had become unstuck in time. I delete the game, unsubscribe, and left in the comments a simple phrase uttered by a Jedi Master in a galaxy far, far away: “You were supposed to be the chosen one!” It was late December 2011, and it was already the beginning of the end. I rage quit for the first time in my life.
Many others died too, at different points unable to progress or find a path forward that wasn’t rooted in 2004 mechanics. I was in a top 100 raiding guild and I knew how to play these games, at the time I was making a living by explaining to millions of others how to play them. The reflection in those eyes is of my dead character’s body in Alderaan, gnawing at the core of my being having wasted the last four hours on an attempt to down the final boss in the quest chain. I stared at my screen with an intensity burning behind my eyes. Q4tQ: So, like, whatever did happen to Star Wars: The Old Republic?
