Very well done!  This MMO has many new things that is worth a look even if you don't wish to play SW:TOR

Looks good. I'm wondering if they offer shortcuts through the dialog though. The dialog will be cool the first time but get old quick.

[Razor]

Yeah thats a good question... I seem to think there was in the original games (I played both, and both were very good).

Looking forward to this game.

I have been somewhat keeping and eye on this game since I heard about it. Could be a really good game. Maybe not for everyone though.

Could be interesting to see how this game will stack up against Star Trek Online - both have large fan bases to please but lets pray this game is nothing like SWG.

SWG was good when it first came out!  It went down hill quickly after the first expansion pack.

Ya they are having issues I think. I also can't log into my account.

January issue of PC Gamer has me pretty excited about this game... its looking good so far with what they are trying to achieve (combination of singleplayer RPG style with MMORPG).
