Promethius

WOW, what can I say, absolutely fantastic, should have gotten around to saying something sooner, but no time. I've seen it twice and I might see it again. Ridley Scott comes through as I knew he would.

Star Wars The Old Republic.

What happened ?  Never have I seen a game colapse so quickly; and so much inticipation leading up to the launch, unbelieveable. I logged on tonight with my Level 32 Merc (perhaps for the last time) looking to Queue solo for an hour or two just to kick some ass and kill some time... Not one match, not even one in almost 2 hours, what a disappointment. There were like only 40 people playing, 40 people in the whole universe, I felt like Will Smith only without zombies. I'm on the Tarro Blood Server, and a great server it was, I remember the week of the launch and how excited I was to get early access.The lag was so bad that I actually went out and spent $1700.00 on a new computer all in antipation of playing this new MMOG for many yeas to come. ...well it's not gonna happen now... Our glorous guild that once numbered close to 100 has just disbanded and our dreams of one day controling the Universe lie in ruins. I know that Diablo 3 took some business from SWTOR but I doubt you can blame it completely for this disaster... thing is, it ain't a half bad game, granted I don't think it broke any new ground, but it was a good game none the less. I feel bad for the people at BioWare and LucasArts many of which are about to get shit-canned, thats gotta suck. Here's hoping that they find a way to fix whats broke...anyway I'm really disappointed,   really looking forward to many years of excitment, not that I think it's totally doomed, it's not, but it certainly isn't going to be all that we hoped...Everquest here I come...
