MMPORPGs: The Looming Addiction (Star Wars Galaxies/World Of WarCraft) +POLL

I have not played any MMPORPGs up to this point. They looked too repetitive, ugly, boring, etc. Then I started reading up on Star Wars Galaxies, and I may have to change my tune. The game sounds like it will be kick-ass, and it sounds like they are fixing some of the problems that plague the typical MMPORPG, like having dynamic spawn points instead of static ones so as to prevent camping. Also, it seems that every character will have equal potential to become a Jedi, at least when they first start out. Jedi will not simply be a character class you choose. The path will apparently differ for each individual player, so no one will be able to write a strategy guide telling you exactly what steps to follow to become a Jedi.

Then there is World Of WarCraft. The game looks amazing, following the somewhat cartoony/super-deformed bent of the WarCraft series. There is the already massive storyline from the WarCraft games that they can build upon, unlike some other fantasy-themed MMPORPGs that seem about puddle-deep.

While there is little yet in the way of detail concerning actual gameplay aspects of WOW, you know Blizzard is going to take the time and do it right.

Anyone else drooling in anticipation? 😀
 
I voted for SW Galaxies only because I hated the WarCraft games. I personally don't like online gaming at all and prefer a really well written singler player game like Deus Ex.
 
I play some of each, and cannot really say that I prefer one type over the other, as I play them for different reasons. Deus Ex is a kick-ass game, though. Right now I am playing through Baldur's Gate. I got tired of my current batch of online games, and need to find some new ones, or maybe re-install StarCraft. 😀

That must be because people like me go on there and whoop your ass!! :Q 😀
 
I voted SWG, although I am currently immersed in Anarchy Online. I just came from a dance party in the game (complete with live music and a DJ) and it was a blast! There were tons of near naked chicks there too! 🙂
 
I've pretty much felt the same way as you ShotgunSteve up to this point I could not see myslef paying monthly for the same game... But that my change. star Wars has drawn my attention ever since I heard it was going to come out (big SW fan here). I'm still just not sure if I'm willing to take the plunge for a monthly service charge thing.

I was not even really sure about SWG until I read the recent article in Computer Gaming World. It sounds like they are really working to make this over the top, as far as MMPORPGs, go. With World Of WarCraft I am simply hoping Blizzard's special brand of magic translates to a new genre. Hopefully the fees will not be too much.
