Forums => Games > Star Wars: Old Republic Single Player MMO?
Zealeus and I were having a discussion on this and I figured I'd take the discussion out of our IM and post it and see if anyone else feels the same way over this new possible wrinkle.
(10:07:39 AM) Zealeus: and kotoku reports that the knights of the old republic mpporg is looking more like a massive single player rpg (10:07:44 AM) Zealeus: should make things interesting (10:07:59 AM) AlteredConfusion: u mean like guild wars-esque? (10:11:30 AM) Zealeus: yea, i think so (10:11:36 AM) Zealeus: but the sound of it will be more rpg-ish (10:11:38 AM) Zealeus: i mean (10:11:54 AM) Zealeus: yea, guild wars is an mmporg, but it's moreso in the massive multiplayer (10:12:25 AM) Zealeus: sounds like bioware's aiming to make it more single-player rpgish on a massive scale (10:12:35 AM) AlteredConfusion: so we thinking party-less gameplay then? (10:12:41 AM) Zealeus: could be (10:12:53 AM) Zealeus: my guess is you'll still be able to party (or i hope so) (10:13:11 AM) Zealeus: but unlike other mmporgs, it sounds like you'll be able to solo the content (10:13:43 AM) Zealeus: i just hope it's not guild-wars style solo where the npcs suck, but really solo if want (10:15:27 AM) AlteredConfusion: which means my interest in the game just went up a bit... u know me I'm a soloing type of guy (10:16:02 AM) Zealeus: same (10:16:10 AM) Zealeus: kinda like you were saying on the podcast (10:16:17 AM) AlteredConfusion: yep (10:16:18 AM) Zealeus: if there's people on i know and enjoy playing with, rock out (10:16:23 AM) AlteredConfusion: exactly (10:16:28 AM) Zealeus: but otherwise...i want to just kill some baddies (10:16:36 AM) AlteredConfusion: I feel ya yo (10:17:16 AM) AlteredConfusion: I guess that's why I get frustrated with MMOs because I'm almost completely forced to play in a group, usually with people I don't know and there's a chance that someone will be a total douche and screw me over (10:18:12 AM) Zealeus: true (10:18:27 AM) Zealeus: though to be honest, I've found people are generally pretty decent in groups (10:18:41 AM) Zealeus: obviously get that bad seed once in a while, but I had pretty good luck in wow PUGs

(10:13:43 AM) Zealeus: i just hope it's not guild-wars style solo where the npcs suck, but really solo if want
(10:15:27 AM) AlteredConfusion: which means my interest in the game just went up a bit... u know me I'm a soloing type of guy

(10:16:23 AM) AlteredConfusion: exactly
(10:16:28 AM) Zealeus: but otherwise...i want to just kill some baddies
(10:16:36 AM) AlteredConfusion: I feel ya yo
(10:17:16 AM) AlteredConfusion: I guess that's why I get frustrated with MMOs because I'm almost completely forced to play in a group, usually with people I don't know and there's a chance that someone will be a total douche and screw me over
(10:18:12 AM) Zealeus: true
(10:18:27 AM) Zealeus: though to be honest, I've found people are generally pretty decent in groups
(10:18:41 AM) Zealeus: obviously get that bad seed once in a while, but I had pretty good luck in wow PUGs
