Old Republic Beta Impressions
Bioware's upcoming Star Wars: The Old Republic is one of the most highly anticipated games this year, but beyond that, it is one of the most highly anticipated Massively Multiplayer Online RPGs ever. The heritage of the widely-beloved Star Wars franchise and popular Knights of the Old Republic games would present a daunting burden for nearly any game to follow, but The Old Republic has another hurdle to pass: its developers have claimed that this title will bring all of the story and character of a single player game to the online environment of an MMO. I can't say for certain how successful they have been based on the hours I have played, but now that the NDA has been lifted, I can certainly say that my experiences indicate that there's a lot of potential in this game.
