the jedi will fall as they always have been and im going to make sure tht happens

If the death star was around in this time that planet would be nothing but space ash.

I want to now if we can Custimize ar one Charecters

you know, what's with all you people arguing over who's better? the jedi or the sith? to me, bounty hunting is the way to go, to you, there's no lightside, darkside, just credits, and you can fight on both sides, kill both jedi and dark jedi, prove that both of there stuck-up arrogent teachings can be defated by skill, and be the most feared and respected warrior in the galaxy... ( blows smoke off pistol)

P.S Tython looks beast, i'll go there in my travels

Keep the worlds coming ;)

With the promise of character development with an add on of the 4th pillar
this will definitely change things around for MMO's

The game looks promising, without a doubt, however what interests me is how they are going to carry out the whole balance between force users and (if possible) non-force users. This could make or break the game (Galaxies anyone). However I do have upmost faith in Bioware cause they just frickin kick *****! And as to why Tython must be first...well the Jedi were THE great protectors of the universe, and they failed...underdogs first is the rule!

Well with the release of the Bounty Hunter and Trooper classes, I think that Bioware has nothing to worry about in that issue. (Also there is much speculation on a smuggler class).

Also, why are the Jedi underdogs? They destroyed the Sith on numerous occasions.

on tython there is a dark lords fortress and her name is belia darzu i wonder if her fortress is going to be able to be searched in the game

I think thahts becouse Korriban is much more work and you had to look at other SW games that everythiing what is there is on the right place.^^

wtf are you talking about

Hey why do the Jedi get their world created first! The Dark Side has been around longer than the Light has, why do they get priority?

Bioware is racist!

...

That's why I love them so much :D

Has anyone given the thought that the new Darth Sith might still be Revan. Or that may it is the exile, who became Revan's apprentice and then killed him when she had no use for him? The force can prolong lives.

your right Sardor, my bad

Maybe but it has been stated that the emperor is very old, more than a thousand year old, who fled when the jedi defeated the sith in the great hyperspace war.

an October '09 release date would be ***** awesome i looked at the link that Newi posted looks real enough ive heard rumors that swtor has been bein worked on for awhile now. i heard rumors when i still played SWG and one of the devs i played with said there was a bioware star wars mmo in the works and that was perhaps back in like 05' or '06 so that actually makes sense for a '09 release date then

I here ya everybody this games gonna be cool!.
P.S. join me in my eradication of the sith scum fellow rebulic comrades .
Together we will form a guild of powerfull republic player charecters that surpasses both the sith the mandalorians and the jedi.

We must eradicate the sith, i am with you.

US release date 20.Oct.2009.

Using the Force, I have divined the release date for SWtOR:

http://www.wowwiki.com/Soon

Im not getting my hopes up at all, but that would be awesome. I think its to soon though, at the earliest I would say December 09' but even that i would say is early.

Where you hearing October 09? Not that I'm complaining

What? How sure are you? That's way too early of a release date....

seems a little early

As much as i can't wait to see this game go live, I think a 09 release may be a bit to early, doesn't seem like enough time for beta testing phases

how sure can you be of that release date?

Must say that G. Lucas created the best science fiction story ever, but I always felt that in the games area it was never truly exploited untill Jedi Knight and KotOR, where you can be a force-user, that's the best thing about SW and now BioWare is making this game, Lucas Arts finally is back on track, it was a huge mistake giving KotOR 2 to Obsidian. I am completly positive that BioWare will give us the best mmo ever. Adding the excelent immersive stories, the loveable characters and the perfected work of BioWare to the potencial of SW againg it just can't go wrong.

I LOVE YOU BioWare!!!

kotor 2 was still awesome as well as all SW games....

what i really wanna know is the customization. would their be a large char customization or customizing light sabers?

This looks great, really looking forward to release.

awsome video looks great keep it coming

great video reat game but still nota lot of information

I don't think of it as a "release date", but a day that I will be free of the all consumming W*W monster that is slowly destroying my soul.

lol yup

After thinking for a little while about it, I was wondering what kind of setup would be done for endgame? After playing several MMOs I find that the most important aspect of the game after the basic combat system is the endgame content.

WoW has (had, at least before... nvm not going there) a fantastic tier raiding system, WAR had it's endgame City and Keep sieges which was great in theory (not quite in execution, though), so my question is how will this keep me enthralled for months so I never quite max out my character and get bored standing in Ironforge... I mean Coruscant just talking? What kind of endgame are we going to be working for?

Hopefully something of a SWG endgame mixed with some WoW, not everything requires groups or is too hard to solo nor none of the tedious/ridiculously hard/now easy raiding that WoW has, looking forward to SWG's stand around endgame but with the element I'm high where i am (jedi master or something) and i am continuing that, say I'll just hang around in 5 mins then raid a temple or a spaceship or hey there should be some kind of dueling arena like in KOTOR 1 (haven't played in a while) , hm..... anyway it wont be like WOW it'll actually have character depth and continuation hopefully..

Im more interested in continuous solo play through high levels. There will probably end up being planets/areas of planets/quests that require higher level characters...
Maybe some that require moderate group play but less of the "raid" scene...
I am personally tired of raids being the main goal of MMO's the should somewhat exist but I wanna take my Jedi Master into some dark cave all by myself..

that is one of the best questions i have seen ...and we havnt been told what kind of end game if any there will be...

this will be the best MMO ever made!!!

Seriously looking great guys, keep it up! The use of the good ol' KotOR music almost made tears well up in my Sith eyes...almost.

I think the game looks great and thanks for giving us a look at the making. I will agree from that short shot saber looked short. I thought blade was supposed to be around 4 foot *don't quote me on that lol* But on the plus love the hilt design that was showed.

Can't wait to try the new jedi robes or old jedi robes, well you know what I mean.

I... Really... Want... To... Play... =)

I hear ya...

Almost wish I never found this site...

But it will be kewl to have a chance at getting into the beta when it starts...

Agreed. Lightsabers should be longer and the beam should have the same diameter at the bottom as through most of the blade. Like in the movies and every other Star Wars medium.

yeah lighsaber should be longer

I REALLY just want to be able to play as a Kel Dor... call me easy...

Is the game ready now? No. How about now? Not yet you say? Bummer. Well, I can't wait for SW:TOR. There is so much potential in Star Wars for a great MMORPG.

i think i going to cry... :)

I think the lightsabers should be longer ... the lightsaber in the video is like the middle version between a normal lightsaber and a short lightsaber from KotOR 1 & 2.
