gorstram Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Are there any famous people that play this game? I'm sure the former G4 folks do, but most of the famous people in MMO's I've ever heard of played WoW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeweledleah Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 even if they did, most would probably not advertize it. can you imagine if people start hounding you, trying to figure out which server you play on, what factio, what character. paparazzi in rl are bad enough. I do know that Henry Carvil plays Dragon age, so who knows.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhevar Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) Authors Jim Butcher and Mercedes Lackey both played City of Heroes, so I'm sure there are several celebrities that will be playing SWTOR (it's Star Wars after all!), but yeah - I doubt they'll ever come forward. Maybe someone in the NCIS cast plays it, since they joked about McGee playing SWTOR at some point on the show (the episode with the MMO developers that were being killed).

BrianDavion Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 as someone else said if they did they'd not ever talk about it. Hypothetical situation. if say... Patrick stewart played SW:TOR. if he posted here "yeah I play SW:TOR, my character is named "bob" and I play on ebon falcon. He'd be getting a LOT of tells. and proably constant harassment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someone in the NCIS cast plays it, since they joked about McGee playing SWTOR at some point on the show (the episode with the MMO developers that were being killed). not only did Mercedes Lackey play City of heroes, but she also got them to let her write one of the modules AND was one of the staunchest fighters against the game's shutdown. as if I needed any more reasons to adore her Edited December 10, 2013 by Jeweledleah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPryde Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) Sheldon Cooper, Leonard Hofstadter, Howard Wolowitz and Rajesh Koothrappali play SWTOR... along with Bernadette Rostenkowski.

Damn... In my religion, which I created a week ago, you are the personification of Evil and acknowledgement of your existence leads to eternal damnation. I can't accept you as a celebrity Edited December 11, 2013 by TheNahash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeweledleah Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 and then I ask myself the question... why does it even matter, only to answer it to myself - we're so celebrity obsessed that endorsement from one does more to get us interested on sheer principle of "I'm experiencing the same thing as someone famous" as if it makes you famous by association or something, then being interested in something for its own sakes because we, ourselves like it for what it is. Blizzard folks are smart. that's why they used all of those celebrities in commercials even though, I have a feeling most of them don't even play WoW, they just got paid to do a commercial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be getting a LOT of tells. and proably constant harassment If Patrik Stewart did play Swtor, then his character would probably be a smuggler whose name is Picard and has the "Captain" title applied to his character name. I haven't seen any guy walking around with that name on the Bastion server yet lol. I wonder if Brent Spiner plays SWTOR lol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callaron Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) Hah, this thread made me hit Google for celebrities that game; and apparently a lot of them like WoW - including Janina Gavankar, who does seem like one of the actual gaming celebrities if you look at her twitter and various interviews. She mentioned in the interview with MOG Nation that she's looking to play more video game characters AND she tweeted: "Janina Gavankar @Janina 1 december I WON THE LEGO STAR WARS DEATH STAR II ON EBAYYYYYY" So obviously she's a Star Wars fan - what are you waiting for Bioware?
