Title: Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO
Post by: Spiffy Has on January 29, 2012, 01:35:28 AM
Yea, I bought the game, and I am interested if any other EFUers bought it and care to romp around me through the galaxy and run through the campaign before my thing expires.

Just curious.

I have a Republic Vanguard named Gerald (//%22http://lukedanger.deviantart.com/#/d4nwma6%22) on The Ebon Hawk server, and a Scoundrel named Ronnald on the Kath Hound server.

There's no real "campaign"; it's more each class has a story, and then each world also has a story arc with side quests thrown in for good measure. All in all, it's a good game and well worth the hype (except for PvP, which needs some work)

I've been playing it regularly on server Master Zhar Lestin Republic side.

I've been playing on Hyperspace Cannon (PVE), but I've been thinking about making something on Ebon Hawk. Hear it has nice RP.

Part of what's been keeping me away from EFU for the last month or so while I recharge my RP mojo.

If anyone's interested it'd be fun to get a group going on a server to run flashpoints and dailies.

I'll be in #TOREFU if anyone wants to discuss!

I am on Lord Adraas with a good friend at the moment, though if we're all willing to roll new pcs together on a different server, I am game. :)

Come down to Lord Adraas, largest rp community of them all, and check out the Pureblood Cabal on swtor-rp.com http://www.swtor-rp.com/forum/m/1639455/viewthread/2110589-pureblood-cabal-lord-adraas  ^^ We purebloods are the master race, gods amongst ants, worshiped above other Sith for the mere color of our skin, and we've infiltrated near every circle of influence in the server-spanning Legacy of the Revanites rp plot.

♥ Magister. Sorry, but I warned ever since joining EFU that when SWTOR comes out my ass is gone from nwn for a solid chunk. Must get my nerdy fangirl and space addiction rp on.

As I understand it, you cannot currently play a Togruta. This makes the game much less desirable.

Do people actually not understand this is a Star Wars WoW clone? As plum accurately said all MMOs are garbage. This should be self-evident!

If I decide to waste my life on a piece of shit, I waste it on a piece of shit, I don't need you giving the Shitbrowns over my life choices. :(

If there's RP, I might buy it >_>

The RP I've seen has been extremely marginal (if it even exists) on the RP servers even.

Post by: Spiffy Has on February 04, 2012, 03:13:55 AM
I've seen RP and Crystal_Rose leads a fairly active RP group!

How enticing.

I also thought it self-evident that meaningful RP and stories cannot exist unless death is permanent. This is a fairly basic requisite.

Fair point KillerB, I concede.

Get out of this thread trollbot5000!

RP is bad for this game. PvP is bad.

PvE is best. I'd like to get a flashpoint group going really, is all.

I tried some RP servers. Wasn't my thing. If I want RP, I'll play EFU.

Hard for RP to be very good without DM/GM/RP referees to tell people "No, that's stupid" and so on. Also feels weird without the possibility of death.

Annnd because I've already leveled so many characters on my current server, Hyperspace Cannon.....not very interested in changing servers. The Legacy level system kinda makes you want to stick to one server sadly =/

When I entered TOR, I did it in the anticipation of finding something like mulitplayer Mass Effect with hopefully a decent story and fun flashy combat as well as cool PvE. It has amply lived up to all of these expectations and I expect to be playing it for those reasons for a while yet. But in all honesty, entering an MMO of this kind hoping for good roleplay is like attending a rugby match in the hopes of watching a good game of chess. If I want good roleplay I'll be looking for it in places like EfU.

If only brain death counted. If it did, WoW would have been the best place for RP ever.

It's Wow in space. Only MMO that I am holding out for is Guild Wars 2.

If you want to RP why not, you know, add to EFU and RP here with a great group of players.  MAKE EFU BETTER!! DOWN WITH MMO SCUM!
